on the 7-line, between walnut and washington, theres gravel in the bike lane that came from the median strip landscaping. two separate properties on this block pose this problem. the landscapers recently refreshed the gravel, and when they did, they dropped some directly in the bike lane, and they also overflowed the planters that are continuing to drain into the bike lane. the gravel is largely hidden by leaves at the moment, which only exacerbates the danger. i must emphasize that this is a transportation safety issue, and if planning cannot resolve it, then engineering or PW must solve it. thanks! - greg

on the south side of Smith Ave just east of Walnut St (the north boundary of 405 S Walnut, Chocolate Moose), there is a strip of gravel between the sidewalk and the bike lane. the gravel frequently enters the bike lane and has caused my kid to fall there. its my impression that planning dept zoning enforcement is supposed to prevent this landscaping choice?? ps the photo is old but the problem is still present today. thanks!!

northbound bike lane on rogers between 8th st and b line (part of the detour). i found a CBU detour sign partially blocking this bike lane and i carried it down to their construction site at the b line. then i encountered this storm drain, which is at least 3 inches below grade, from poor milling practices when the road was resurfaced last year. these partial obstructions make the bike lane more technically demanding than it should be. not a fair substitute for the all-ages all-abilities b line.

bridge over train tracks where rogers turns into madison (about 800ft north of 11th&rogers). NB bike lane (on east side of rogers) merge zone was inadvertently removed with new paint. originally, there was a merge zone (dashed white line) where the bike lane ends. when the bridge was resurfaced last year, they got the merge zone correct but added an extraneous solid white line north of the merge zone. when they repainted, they simply made the whole thing a solid white line. the current spot where the bike lane appears to end is a dangerous spot to merge. even with the striped line in the right place, this was an uncomfortable merge. it needs to be improved, not harmed. thanks!

Drainage grate partial removal on 10th at west side of rogers. I often pass over this grate on a bike when entering the b line after going down the big hill on rogers (southbound) and if i didnt notice this, i would literally die. Not sure if the trades district garage workers removed it or aome equipment tore it up or what but yowza!! YOW!! ZA!!

Allen st greenway.
Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation.
The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists.
The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists.
Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city.
Thanks!
