Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.
I send this picture to simply point out that this vehicle is blocking what would be the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd St's if it were painted there, but since there is no bike lane, it isn't blocked.
A tree at the edge of this lot is blocking most of the multi-use path that parallels the north side of West Vernal.
Hello-There are regularly cars blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd St's a bit after 6pm.I wonder if there's a way for the city to make it clear to ride share drivers and customers of DaVinci that this is illegal and that they cannot block the bike lane. When there are 3-4 cars parked in the bike lane here, it really is no longer a bike lane and instead is a pick up/drop off zone. "Sending people to patrol the area" is definitely not working. Thanks!

The all way stop put in at Smith and 45 will likely cause confusion and/or problems between cars and bikes. There is a very big shoulder there and as a cyclist I have always ridden on the shoulder through this intersection. Westbound on a bike you come to this intersection at relatively high speed and if you have taken the should there's really no need to wait behind cars. I believe that is where the potential for confusion will be. If, say, there are 5 cars at the stop sign, should bikes not use the shoulder and wait in line with cars? Should they use the shoulder, but wait with cars? Should they blow by the line of cars? Should they slow, but still roll past the line of cars? While I am generally against "pained bike lanes" I think some sort of signage/lane could make sense here.

Hello- There were multiple cars blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts this evening a bit after 6 pm, as there often is. When there are 3-4 cars parked in the bike lane on this block, it really does cease to be a bike lane and is fully just a pick up/drop off lane for ride share drivers and pick up for davinci. I wonder if there's anything the city can do about this? If anyone in the chain would care to hear, I have a simple solution that would 100% guarantee the bike lane would not/could not be blocked by cars. thanks again!
