Broken tree & dislodged planter grate = tripping & impalement hazard
The bike rack at Sahara Mart on 2nd street is not ideally located. It is afixed to a street sign. The street sign blocks one of the parking spots. The rack faces the street and if you park your bike on the side of the rack that you are supposed to, it hangs in the street. The other option is park your bike on the "wrong" side of the rack and have it hanging in the sidewalk in the way of pedestrians. Plus, the bike isn't well supported on that side, so the chances of it falling over are great.
pedestrian sign is knocked over on BLine.
It would be nice if there were bike racks at the businesses on the corner of Jordan and 3rd (e.g. Dragon Express, Soma, Mother Bears, etc). Right now there is no safe place to park bikes and most people lock their bikes to sign posts.
Car door opened almost smashing two bicyclist in bike lane
I would like to report several trees along High Street with low-hanging branches that are partially blocking the sidewalk. These tree branches are hanging 3-5 feet above the sidewalk and making it very hard for anyone to walk or run without having to duck constantly. The tree branches are posing a hazard because pedestrians may need to step out into the street to navigate around them because they are partially obstructing the path. Is the city responsible for the trimming of tree branches above sidewalks? The issue has been worsening since last year.
the Polly Grimshaw trail is in its usual state of near impassability. The limbs down, overhanging branches and vines, weeds and dead plant trash in the R-O-W all serve to make the way at best hazardous, at worst downright dangerous. I'm not asking you folks to maintain this east side artery to the same standards that you use for the Monon Railroad trail, but. Especially nowadays when it's more dangerous to ride to campus than ever from the east due to continuous construction, Please pay a little attention to this path. Thank You for your assistance with this situation.
There are large amounts of broken glass in the road in the area around Harold and Alice street (which is between 8th/9th and Dunn/grant) I tried my best to avoid it today but some glass punctured my front tire and tube. Broken glass seems to be very prevalent in the areas with IU students.
Tree limbs impeding roadway. 609 S Swain.
Question: Is there a chance to have more gravel spread on the red clay dirt prior to the bike path? It's been okay with the dry summer, but it is impossible to pass from Tapp. to the bike path when muddy with the rains. Thank you for this consideration. My alternate route is biking up Tapp to 37S. As you are aware, Tapp, under construction is also less than ideal.
