Sorry for the duplicates earlier today -- the georeporter android app has bit-rotted something fierce. There is ongoing gravel in the bike lane on the south side of Smith Ave just east of Walnut St. This is a repeat of ureport #198967, which was never resolved. Recently, landscapers have refreshed the gravel in the median strip. And when they did so, they spread gravel directly in the bike lane, and they also over-filled the planters so that gravel continues to drain into the bike lane. This is a transportation safety issue and not a zoning issue!!! If Parks and Planning can't do anything about it, something still needs to be done about it! Thanks - Greg

The walk signal never shows a “safe to cross” signal on the NW corner (by Bloomington Pt and Wallpaper). Also, the “safe to walk” Signal doesn’t work on the SW corner. This is very dangerous at this high speed level intersection.

Poison ivy growing on the south side of the walking path where Fourth Street would be, just east of Jefferson. There's also another bunch of three-leaved vining thing a bit east of there, not sure if it's poison ivy.

This stop light seems to not respond to a cyclist going east or west. Meaning if a cyclist comes to it and there are no cars going E/W to "trip" it, it won't go green. Also, if there are cars in the turn lanes, it will give them turn arrows, but not give the straight traffic a green. I usually wait for a clearing and just go through the red light now. This is a new-ish issue; it didn't use to do this. It may have been on a timer before?

on Rogers/Madison, where it changes name and crosses over the railroad tracks just north of 11th street, the bike lane is on the uphill side of the street. so at the apex, it switches from one side of the street to the other. at this switching point, we have lost our 'dashed line' merge zones. i am hoping that someone from Engineering will go look at the facts on the ground and validate its correctness. when it was conceptually designed back in 2011, i thought "gee they're gonna have to do a good job of signing that if it's not going to be a nightmare for cyclists to merge into traffic". and then when it was *finally* implemented around 2017-2019, it was just striped lines indicating that there is a merge. but when the bridge was re-decked in 2020-2021, they repainted it wrong. and subsequent generations of painting have each made it worse, to where the southbound merge zone is completely missing and cyclists are directed to stay in the abruptly-ending bike lane on the dangerous high speed downhill segment. and the northbound merge zone has been reduced to about 30 feet, again, at the wrong place for the merge.

The sidewalk has a severe depression that collects rain (and ice in the winter), often to a depth of 3 or 4 inches. The problem started last year immediately after the area was reconstructed with new grass on either side. Someone did not think about the consequences of building grass higher than the level of a sidewalk that is not level.

Dumb down the east-west “smart signals” at Covenanter and College Mall Rd (and elsewhere in this corridor) that make it impossible for a a cyclist to cross the street if there is not a car at the intersection to trigger a green light. The only other way to get a green light at these intersections is to press a beg button designed for pedestrian access. The current default signals for car convenience make traveling by bicycle on the east side a real hassle.

No street sign that used to be on top of stop sign pole. Zebra stripe crosswalk has mostly been paved over.
