I saw crack on slide walk near downtown

There are multiple AT&T work vehicles parked in the new 7-line separated bike lane between Walnut and College. This was in addition to the numerious delivery vehicles I had just encountered double parked in the bike lane on Walnut. What's the point of all this great bike infrastructure if it turns into a parking spot whenever convenient?
With a beautiful 55 degree day in February everyone was out walking and rising bikes along Allen Street Greenway between College and Henderson. I'm shocked no one died. Several cars barreled down Allen at 40+ miles per hour and I personally watched 3 separate pedestrians nearly lose their lives. More signage, brighter roadway paint, barriers are needed to keep cara from speeding past kids walking home from school.
The walk sign at the southeast corner of College and Kirwood, in front of the cigar and luggage store, does not light up. The don’t wall sign lights but not the walk sign. Thank you.
Bike lanes. Got some eletric other power bikes going way to fast in bike lanes. is this ok
The bike lane in front of the old AMC College Mall and going down College Mall Rd. is covered in wash-out, gravel, debris, which makes cyclists have to utilize the road rather than the bike lane.
There are lots of fallen tree "gum balls" in the 7-Line between Lincoln and Grant.
The 3rd street bicycle lane adjacent to the IU campus has been massively improved with the newly installed barriers! This section of the commute takes me 3 fewer minutes to bicycle on now that drivers don't block the bicycle lane. Biking in this lane feels so much safer and more comfortable with the barriers up, especially since considering drivers tend to go pretty fast on this road. Also, the barriers don't look like an eyesore at all, which is something I previously read that IU officials were concerned about. The barriers blend into the background enough to not be garish, but they are still clearly visible to drivers and cyclists. Honestly they're pretty stylish for bicycle lane barriers. As a bicycle commuter, even small-scale projects like this make me feel cared about by the city. It makes me glad to be a Bloomingtonian! Laissez le B-Town rouler!
Neighbor at 2909 E Winston Street is cutting down an oak tree in the right of way.
In the bike lane on the east side of Kingston near the old Marsh store, there is a large piece of what looks like fiberglass insulation over the storm grate blocking both the grate and the bike lane. Thanks for checking on it!
