Gravel from this private drive piled up on the path, is spread from here, going east all the way past the performance auto sign.

Sidewalk unusable, has been for years depending on season. Either it's mud covered areas or vegetation that blocks the ability to use. One more option exists and its when both happen at once. However, thank you for mowing, makes that corner usable.
There are no marked crosswalks at High and HIllside/Moores Pike.
College Avenue bike lane from 17th all the way to 11th is filled with debris. Sand, gravel, etc. Really bad under the train underpass. This stretch really needs routine maintenance. Everytime I ride through here it is in bad shape, forcing me into the road.
a lot of broken glass in bike path tunnel
There are some new safety concerns since the "Relato" building opened next to the multi-use path between Pete Ellis and the bypass on 7th Street. First, there's a conflict point where the garage exits to 7th street. Cars are already pulling quickly across the path towards the street, while bike traffic doesn't necessarily slow for the blind corner of the garage exit either. I've included a photo of a location where this is handled better. This is from the new development on the old K-Mart lot which also has a garage that immediately crosses a bike path. At that location, green boxes with white chevrons appear where the bike and car traffic cross, indicating to both parties that it's a conflict point. ------ The second safety concern is where the multi-use path takes right-angle turn around the corner of the Relato. This used to be an empty field with great sight lines and now those sight lines are blocked. At this corner I have already seen what could have been a couple near collisions due to the shortened sight lines. A treatment that could help here would be what was done at the right angle turn going into the bypass underpass tunnel-- Add a solid center line going around the corner to indicate that parties in both directions should stay in their lane going around the corner. I feel that treatment has made the underpass corner safer and I think it would help signal safer behavior here, too. Thanks!
I'm very concerned about the new surfacing on E. 3rd by the State, but I know the City supported it. I know there was not going to be a physical barrier at this point but did think the bike lanes would at least by wide. Please please make sure they are wider than the ones on N. Smith or very very few will feel safe using them. I supported the project as thought it would give me a biking option, but I'm fearful now it'll just be slimmer roads and no real bikable upgrade. Thanks for any input you can give the State!
On March 10, I wondered where the pedestrians are supposed to pass on the sidewalk adjacent to the entry walk to the Salvation Army store on Rogers.
There are sudden piles of gravel in the bike lane and debris in the drains. This is very dangerous for bike users
Like a melting iceberg, the driveway at 1600 N Walnut has calved a large section of asphalt, which has slide across most of the bicycle lane, creating a significant hazard.
