No attempt to clear sidewalks
Washington Street bike lane is filled with large pieces of broken glass. Just south of 10th street.
The crosswalk on the southeast corner of Woodlawn and 10th is not functioning properly. When you press to walk, the signal replies to "Wait," but when the crossing is safe to walk, the signal only makes an odd, mechanical noise with no indication that it is safe to cross.
I'm constantly having problems crossing 10th street in the unmarked crosswalk at Washington. This morning I was walking southbound on Washington street, and begin to cross 10th with no visible traffic. A motorist turned eastbound onto 10th from Walnut, accelerated hard even though I was in the intersection, and proceeded to honk and yell at me I have had similar experiences on North Walnut, crossing between 10th and 17th where there are no signalized intersections. Please look into making crossing at unmarked (and marked) crosswalks safer for pedestrians in our city, especially on roads that see higher speed traffic flow.
N College bike lane, north of 7th St approximately has lots of debris that could cause an accident. Also manholes do not belong in a bike lane. Those, too, are bumpy and could cause a mishap. Bike lane belongs elsewhere.
Vehicles on north Washington are constantly parking in the bike lane. Parking enforcement has indicated this is not a violation they ticket. Why not? Also, why do we even have bike lanes that are less than half a meter wide?
Weeds and impeded sidewalk
There is an overgrown bush obstructing the side path along Tapp Road west of Rogers.
