West info sign on sidewalk needs repair - exposed nail/ sheet metal on south side of sign +/- 12” above sidewalk
The walk signal never shows a “safe to cross” signal on the NW corner (by Bloomington Pt and Wallpaper). Also, the “safe to walk” Signal doesn’t work on the SW corner. This is very dangerous at this high speed level intersection.
The north-west Conner of the metal plate sticks up enough that I could cause a bike rider a problem if they didn’t spot it…say at night.
The sidewalk between these two houses has one step up and one step down. This increases the walking distance to the park if one is using a stroller, wheel chair, or bike, by a quarter mile if they live in the southern section of Sherwood oaks 2. Why not 2 ramps????
There are uneven pavements and metal plates leftover on the bike lane after recent roadwork (possibly drilling) in the last two weeks between 3609 and 3617 E 3rd St (north side/westbound). This creates two big bumps on the bike lane. Not sure if the roadwork has been finished or it will resume soon.
The post for the bike/ped counter by the bike tunnel has broken off.
on the 7-line, between walnut and washington, theres gravel in the bike lane that came from the median strip landscaping. two separate properties on this block pose this problem. the landscapers recently refreshed the gravel, and when they did, they dropped some directly in the bike lane, and they also overflowed the planters that are continuing to drain into the bike lane. the gravel is largely hidden by leaves at the moment, which only exacerbates the danger. i must emphasize that this is a transportation safety issue, and if planning cannot resolve it, then engineering or PW must solve it. thanks! - greg

We need a crosswalk at this intersection. It's impossible to walk safely from Curry Pike to 45/W Bloomfield Rd to reach Walmart or any of the other businesses off of Bloomfield Rd. There's also no sidewalk on either side of Curry Pike or Bloomfield Rd, which would make the path much safer for pedestrians.
