The 7th street bike lane is terrible. The curb greatly reduces bikes ability to avoid any danger in the bike lane. If a car turns into the bike lane, the biker can't avoid it due to the curb. I much prefer the old setup with bike lanes on each side of the street. I can't believe you wasted so much time and money to make a bike lane that's so much worse than before.

The bike path on the side of Arlington Ave. between 17th and North st. has some very rough sections and pot holes that hold water making navigation difficult and dangerous after a storm.
The construction workers tore up the street here ages ago and it has not been repaved. This is a problem for cyclists, who were obviously not considered at all here even though this is a popular street for biking and right next to the B-line. Furthermore trucks drop tons of gravel on the street every day. Absolutely ridiculous.
sign for bike path hit by car, leaving the bike path sign bent into trees. isn't terrible, but figured it's worth fixing
Fix the bike routes we have! Placing patch over a patch over another patch might be good for cars, but it make biking dangerous. The stretch of Highland between the Y and Winslow are already very dangerous because of speeding cars and poor visibility around bends in road. Add poor road conditions and this makes biking very dangerous. Someone is going to get killed.
Treacherous bike riding jn "bike lanes" along Smith Rd. from E 3rd street up to 10th St. There are large sticks, large pieces of trash, grates that could cause tires to cause an accident. Bike lanes are no where near wide enough. You cannot count the 'gutter' area as a bike lane as its unevenness can catch tires and cause wrecks. Also, there must be several inches for a biker to be able to move over when a car comes around him/her dangerously close. You are asking for serious injury and even deaths if bikes are knocked out of the lane into the path of oncoming cars from either direction. I'd like to challenge anyone to try to stay in those dangerous, narrow lanes day in and day out on the commutes to work. If it is the law to allow bikers 3 feet for safety, cars need to see the definite boundaries of that 3 feet. Too many cars have passed me where I could reach out easily and touch the cars. They also pass me dangerously close to returning to their lane as oncoming cars approach.
