Hello- Car blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts 11/6/23 7:33pm IL plate: ZZM439 With the time change it's a little more difficult for me to get a good picture, but I'll keep sending these so you all so you can keep tabs on how regularly cars are parked in this bike lane and maybe figure out something to do about it. thanks again!
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!

Broken shards of glass are all over the bike path on South Henderson Street between Graham Place and Wylie Farm Road.

Hello- Car blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts 12/8/23 6:12pm. MO plate: BH9 A8U I'd add in this case: on the right of the picture you can see a car getting ready to pull out of a parking spot. Because I had to go around this vehicle then re-join the bike lane, I was nearly hit by the car pulling out, as they couldn't see me due to this vehicle blocking the bike lane. This is just one of the reasons I continue to document and send these to you; it's not just annoying, it is also unsafe. Thanks again
