There are shrubs blocking the sidewalk on the east side of Rogers south of Smith
There are branches and shrubs blocking the way through the sidewalk on the west side of Madison between 2nd and Smith.
Neglected sidewalk. Vegetation and debris make it a tightrope walk.
There is excessive plant overgrowth in the bike lane, as well as large branches that have fallen from recent storms.
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.
Vegetation is blocking the bike lane
I walk a lot, usually with my dog. Many, many times I have been very startled by bicyclists passing without alerting me to their presence. I often have no opportunity to get myself and my highly reactive dog out of their way. If my dog (or I) changes direction, a serious mishap could occur. What I'd appreciate is a reasonable call out ("on your left") or the use of a bell. I would say that only about 10 percent of bikers actually do this. Could the city please engage in some education regarding biking etiquette? Could we please have some signage in parks, on trails, and places where people often bicycle?
Bicycle parking is never good for the Saturday Farmer's Market, but today it was exceptionally problematic. When I first arrived I was able to lock my trike but when I had trouble accessing my lock and when I did get to it two helpful young men assisted by lifting my trike to free it from the pile. I am 75 years old. This was hard. My trike is ADA compliant but it is not compact. I don't take it into the market, but my walking ability is limited so don't tell me about the bike racks that are blocks away from the market. Please do better with bike parking convenient to the market
Bike parking infrastructure at SW corner of Lincoln and Kirkwood was removed for sidewalk work and has not been put back. It’s the best parking rack in the city; please replace it.
