Scary to cross 3rd at 3rd and Smith. Can we get crosswalk repainted there at least? Thank you.

I got a flat tire (bicycle) while riding in the bike lane on Rogers around 10th St. There is a lot of construction there so naturally there's a lot of debris on the road. Could you send a street sweeper vehicle there to clear the bike lanes? Thanks. J
There is a significant amount of gravel in the multi-use path by Performance Refinish Supplies. It's a notable hazard because: 1. It's at the bottom of the hill where people will already be going fast on a bike. 2. There's a fast S-curve at the bottom of the hill, potentially requiring turning in the gravel section 3. The gravel has almost the same color and texture as the path, making it difficult to see with time to react. 4. There's not usually this much gravel here, making the condition unexpected. It's been a rainy spring and I already know two experienced cyclists who have crashed due to unexpected gravel or mud in turns. I spotted this hazard too late slow fully myself and just tried to keep a straight line riding through it. I nearly rode off the side of the trail, but thankfully avoided losing control.
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.
Debris in West side bike lane of n Smith
Potholes and general surface area of brick crosswalk is in disrepair, with uneven surface area. The concrete surrounding the brick is falling apart, creating hazards for walkers, bicyclists, runners, etc. Restructuring & re-surfacing needed.
Bushes are overtaking the sidewalk on the NE corner of High street, just above the Rogers/Winslow roundabout. This makes walking or biking along the sidewalk to get to the Jackson Creek Trail somewhat dangerous, as the overgrowth pushes you out towards High Street. Cars are coming out the round about and accelerating, in this area, and sure seems real dangerous for smaller kids trying to navigate the narrow strip of sidewalk with speeding cars so close.
Pedestrian beacon (RRFB) on High St. at Greenbriar Ln. is flashing at random even when no one pushes the button. Seems like this is training drivers to ignore the beacon. Could you please fix this?
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.
This bike rack needs re-fastened.
