Vegetation overhanging sidewalk. West side of College Mall Road, just north of Covenanter.
A pile of gravel collects here routinely
The HAWK crossing on S Walnut St between Switchyard & the B Link has some serious safety issues due to drivers not stopping for the flashing red light. I have witnessed even BPD officers blow through this. If our own cops can't figure out how it's supposed to work, I have no confidence in regular drivers. I have nearly been hit at this intersection multiple times due to drivers either not stopping for the flashing red or blowing through the solid red entirely. This corridor is in the highest priority tier on the city's safe streets map so I am hoping Planning or Engineering can look at ways to improve this intersection. Even just increasing the solid red timer would help in the short term, but this HAWK crossing doesn't seem to work well in general compared to the ones on Country Club or the new one on the rail trail on S Rogers.
the section of painted bike lane on washington between 3rd and 2nd St's seems to have been removed. Maybe it just faded slowly and I'm just noticing it? Not that the painted line does anything anyway, but I'm just curious if something new is happening here. thanks!
According to John Garzee’s response to Ureport #210034, “Cyclists traveling east-west are not being detected at the signal, so they have to use the pedestrian push button to get a green. The current equipment does not reliably detect bikes, and fixing this would require upgrading the detection system. We’ve noted the location, but until funding is available for that upgrade, the signal will not consistently turn green for people biking.” In light of this situation, are there resources available to make the pedestrian beg button accessible to cyclists? It is currently impossible for a cyclist to press the button without getting off the bike and walking to the sidewalk.
Signpost marking the bike-ped trail is quite crooked and loose
When waiting at the light to cross College Mall on Covenanter coming from the west, the light will not change if you are a cyclist waiting at the intersection and no car is behind you. This has been the case for years. My only solution has been to go through the red light after cars are done turning and hope for the best. This is a greenway route, so I hope this can be improved as soon as possible.
