Gravel in sidewalk and street, Falling hazard.
24/7 No Turn on Red laws certainly have increased pollution and that causes asthma and other heath consequences. I assume this was done for bicycle safety, however, bikers flaunting traffic laws are what have caused the near misses in my experience. Just recently, a few days apart, bikers going west, blew through stop signs which give First street traffic the right of way. Had I not braked hard, each might have been hit.
There is a massive hole in the northbound bike lane on Fee Lane north of 10th St. It is hazardous and forces cyclists to swerve into the motor vehicle travel lane which creates conflicts and danger.
In the transition from Longview Ave. to E. 7th St., the asphalt multi-use lane turns into a double-wide cement sidewalk. I've always stayed on the path because it links directly to the underpass at the bridge and seems and extension of the bike path. But today someone told me, "Get off the sidewalk idiot!" I pride myself on following the rules of bicycling. AQm I right or wrong to be using that stretch of cement? Also, Smith Road between 3rd St. and Moore's Pike is a disaster for bicyclists--way too narrow to safely bike on the road, but only a cement sidewalk on the west side, which then vanishes to become a multi-use path on the WEST side of the road, which then vanishes again at the corner of Moore's Pike to become a sidewalk traveling west. How can my kids safely ride their bikes down Smith Road!?
Students going to TNMS often try to cross here instead of walking to the roundabout where the crosswalks are. Can a crosswalk be placed here?What about the school zone signs with flashing lights that positioned by other schools? Tri-North's school zone signs are still located on 11th street/Blair Ave where the old building was.
On the bicycle sidepath bridge, where Tapp Rd goes over Clear Creek, some sheet metal has pealed loose and sticks up. Here is a Google Maps Satellite view showing its location: https://goo.gl/maps/uyK2Pq3j1h12
Lights 118 (Rogers and B-Line) and 149 (between Adams and Moravec Way) are not working.
There are constantly Kroger shopping carts obstructing the B-Line trail as the trail runs alongside the 2nd street Kroger. Can Kroger be asked to keep the trail clear? If these carts were in the road they would be taken care of.
There is substantial gravel residue all along the B-Line due to the recent rain. Many larger patches that are dangerous to cyclists are in the block between Allen and Dodds streets.
