There should be a barrier between the Moose parking lot and Smith so that cars don't park in the road (causing bikes to exit their lane).

Broken bike rack. Please fix soon. Location in front of Soma coffee shop. Mmmm coffee...
West info sign on sidewalk needs repair - exposed nail/ sheet metal on south side of sign +/- 12” above sidewalk
The yellow flashing lights for pedestrians and bicyclists to use at Allen St. crossing Walnut are not working on the west side.
Multi-use path from meadowbrook drive is overgrown. please trim it back for walkers/bikers. Also would love a ramp down into Fenbrook Ln from this path. Big thanks to the crew that handled storm debris on clarizz path/ cleaned up the shortcut from clarizz to Latimer Rd!
I had an unpleasant near miss biking the small connector trail that Weatherstone down to Highland Ave. At the bottom of the hill, a scooter was on its side, in the middle of the pathway. It was not visible until almost right on top of it, and I came close to wiping out. The city needs to find a solution to scooters that are abandoned haphazardly on sidewalks and bike trails. This is not the first incident I've had, and certainly won't be the last. Eventually someone will get seriously hurt.
Sidewalk obstructed by vegetation
Restaurants on the north side of the 100 block of E Kirkwood are completely taking up the ENTIRE STREET. Pedestrians can still use the sidewalk, but what are bicycles supposed to do? Restaurant outdoor dining tables are curb to curb (and out of 35+ tables on a Sunday afternoon, exactly 1 table had customers.) It would be a lot better for private businesses to set up to SHARE the public street rather than make it impossible for bicycles to get through without taking a detour or dismounting.
A bike is very much needed in front of or near The Book Corner. There’s nothing available on this end of the block forcing people to lock to streets signs.
Great news! There is high demand for bicycle parking near Bryan Park pool. Sad news: There is no overflow bicycle parking near Bryan Park pool. Could overflow bicycle parking at this location be added to a wish list for next year?
