There is broken glass here.
The green painted "bike box" and bike lane entering it are full of gravel and debris. It on the east bound lane of 7th Street just west of College - at the light for 7th.
Eastbound walk light on north side of 6th, crossing walnut, has been out for weeks. The Don’t Walk is OK
There is significant debris – sand and gravel – strewn across the bicycle lane in several places on North College Avenue. The debris has been there for MONTHS. The debris is very hazardous to bicyclists, especially because it is so thick and extensive. Bicyclists avoiding the debris or sliding on the debris could be struck and killed by motor vehicles – especially given that the City utterly fails to enforce the speed limit, which means that drivers have less time to react. The area with these piles of debris extends for almost the entire length of Miller Showers Park.
I think it is now more than three years since there have been proper crosswalks for pedestrians crossing Third Street at the Jordan Avenue intersection. It is more than two years since the first time I wrote to inquire about it (March 2016). I was told then that it would be done in the summer of 2016. I wrote again in early 2017, and was told it would be done in the spring of 2017. A friend of mine wrote in the summer of 2017 and was told it would be done in the fall. What the heck is going on? After the recent work at Third and Woodscrest, new crosswalks appeared immediately. For it to take years at a corner where the pedestrian traffic is much higher seems truly unconscionable.
I rode through on 4th heading west to east and encountered a fair amount of loose sand on the road surface. It is on 4th just east of Walnut. That was around 10:30am. I have not been back through to see if it is still on the roadway.
