The bike rack on 6th Street in front of King Dough could use some love. The racks are either missing bolts or they are loose. Could you fix this? Thanks!
On Southdowns just west of the intersection with Jordan Ave, the biking and walking path is being overrun with dirt and brush. The pavement and part of the bicycle painted decal is being covered in dirt now. This needs to be cleaned up.
Gravel piled up on the multi-use path going East-West on 2nd/Bloomfield. There are a couple spots, the biggest and most slippery is right by the “Performance Auto” sign, just west of the pharmacy. There are a couple more spots that have much thicker gravel west of this spot, most notably in an area where there is a gravel drive. Perhaps that driveway needs to have a bump where the gravel meets the pavement to help prevent so much from falling into the path. Some pieces have been flung out into the street from under my bike wheels and the fine gravel by the Performance sign is slippery on a bike. That spot might need some raised brick landscaping on the edge to prevent it from sliding onto the path. No photos because it’s usually dark when i ride to twin lakes and i don’t think to stop and take a photo on the way back.
There is a bike rack down in front of Yoga Mala at 116 S. College. Multiple people have called the city and it is still not fixed after weeks. We need that bike rack, hopefully it can be fixed asap
This morning a landscaping crew on Jordan Ave. between 7th St. and the Jordan River was using leaf blowers to pile leaves in the south-bound bike lane blocking it. I did not see any signage indicating that the bike lane would be closed or any collection truck nearby that would have cleared the leaves. I'm concerned that this might be normal procedure to use the bike lane instead of the curb.
The high-viz 'Yield to Pedestrians' sign is no longer at the B-line at the 7th street crossing. There's now just a stump of where it used to be.
Crosswalk at Atwater and Woodlawn never seems to say walk. Always don’t walk.
Scary to cross 3rd at 3rd and Smith. Can we get crosswalk repainted there at least? Thank you.
My son is a bicycle commuter to North HS. We were thrilled last week that the bypass bike lanes were cleared. However, this morning the path was completely covered. He was disappointed and late for school, of course. We'll use an alternate route tomorrow, but wanted to alert the city to the fact that it appears INDOT tossed the snow onto the path.
