There is a massive hole in the northbound bike lane on Fee Lane north of 10th St. It is hazardous and forces cyclists to swerve into the motor vehicle travel lane which creates conflicts and danger.
24/7 No Turn on Red laws certainly have increased pollution and that causes asthma and other heath consequences. I assume this was done for bicycle safety, however, bikers flaunting traffic laws are what have caused the near misses in my experience. Just recently, a few days apart, bikers going west, blew through stop signs which give First street traffic the right of way. Had I not braked hard, each might have been hit.
At the corner of Wilton and Greenbriar Lane, the sidewalk goes around the corner without going to the street. There are many kids from Beechwood Manor, Arden Place, and Greenbriar Hills neighborhoods who use this sidewalk to get to the crosswalk on High Street at the Wimbledon initersection on their way to Child's elementary.
Broken shards of glass are all over the bike path on South Henderson Street between Graham Place and Wylie Farm Road.
During the school drop-off and pickup this intersection has a large amount of traffic. This is also the main corridor that people biking and walking use to get to to school and unfortunately is was not design to be compatible with both large amounts of student driver traffic, and walkers and bikers. This whole intersection as well as the path going into the school needs to be redone to promote more biking among the youth(including me). A well done biking friendly intersection and route into school would improve the safety for walkers and bikers as well as encourage more young students to walk and bike to school which would decrease the amount of traffic as well as the carbon emissions.
There is loose gravel and sand in curb area, some of which is in the pedestrian path area.
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.
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.
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.
Bike tunnel at 7th & Bypass needs post-flood cleaning. Drains are mostly blocked.
