It would be really great to see sidewalks and bike paths leading into University Elementary School. Right now the only option is walking alongside the edge of 10th street, hoping fast moving traffic doesn't hit you.
There are sudden piles of gravel in the bike lane and debris in the drains. This is very dangerous for bike users
Like a melting iceberg, the driveway at 1600 N Walnut has calved a large section of asphalt, which has slide across most of the bicycle lane, creating a significant hazard.
The new construction has contributed significant debris to the east-bound bike lane. This occurs with many of our development projects: when the apartments on N. College just north of the railway overpass were being constructed, the muddy (erosive) runoff and rocks were obliterating the bike lane. And during the recent downtown construction of ONB, the bike lane was full of rocks and crud. The debris remains on the north side of 4th, between Lincoln and Grant, at the alleyway cut.
On March 10, I wondered where the pedestrians are supposed to pass on the sidewalk adjacent to the entry walk to the Salvation Army store on Rogers.
Smith Avenue bike lane filled with gravel; between Walnut and Washington. Most of the gravel is near the Smith/Washington intersection. It looks like the gravel is constantly washing out from the adjacent gravel parking lot.
Sidewalk I front of 415 N Rogers is crumbling and causes a hazard to walking pedestrians
Tree branches are growing into the bike lane. Bikers are being struck in the head when riding through.
I'm very concerned about the new surfacing on E. 3rd by the State, but I know the City supported it. I know there was not going to be a physical barrier at this point but did think the bike lanes would at least by wide. Please please make sure they are wider than the ones on N. Smith or very very few will feel safe using them. I supported the project as thought it would give me a biking option, but I'm fearful now it'll just be slimmer roads and no real bikable upgrade. Thanks for any input you can give the State!
The storm sewer grate at the end of Olive St where it intersects with Hillside Dr is installed so that the holes are parallel to the direction of travel, and thus bicycle wheels can fall into them. Best practices for safe infrastructure should install them facing the other direction.
