I have been seeing many people on bicycles acting dangerously at this intersection. Biking in between lanes of cars and disregarding the stop sign and pedestrians.
Property owner is not shoveling sidewalk to the south of bloomingfoods & 5th 3rd bank
Private apartment shuttles block bike lane, especially 'The Dillon'. Ticket these shuttles for illegal use of public bus stops
Vehicles routinely stop in the bike lane near the pedestrian island at the Jordan Bus bus stop. The pedestrian islands are great! But if selfish motorists block the bike lane waiting to pick up their friend (the "diva drop-off" phenomenon), they don't work. This is a frequent issue during the day.
Because of the shadow from the concrete wall, the sun can't melt the snow on the multi-use path. This turns to ice and is too chunky to ride through.
Bike tunnel at 7th & Bypass needs post-flood cleaning. Drains are mostly blocked.
I’m writing to request the installation of a pedestrian crosswalk across South Highland Avenue near the Montessori school. Many families and young children cross this busy street daily, and a designated crosswalk would greatly improve safety. Thank you for considering this important request for our community.
Near miss. During the morning, walk to school, kids were crossing high Street around 8:35 AM, there’s a crossing guard there who triggered the crosswalk lights, and stood in the middle of the road with his stop sign, but a car approaching from the north did not stop, and drove through the crosswalk around 25 to 30 mph. Talking with the cross guard, this happens quite often, because it is at the bottom of a hill with limited visibility. I highly recommend putting a stop sign at that intersection similar to everywhere else on high Street.
A significant amount of loose gravel has washed onto the bike path right before it meets the road at the southeast corner of Arden and High. I witnessed a cyclist, attempting to turn onto Arden, crash as a result. The cyclist was OK and had only a minor abrasion but the situation is hazardous.
