On east side of b line between Kirkwood and 6th Street. Chicken waddle hangs down into head space about 4 ft from edge of path. This is a relatively congested part of the b line and it is often necessary to detour off the path here to get around a stationary group. i have had close calls with this chicken waddle, and other people have actually hit it with their heads while biking. Now that dave williams is gone could we get a little consideration for safety?

On west side of b line between kirkwood and sixth. This handrail goes up against the very edge of the b line, exactly at handlebar height for cyclists. This is a congested part of the b line where it is often necessary to ride at the very edge of the path. It presents a hazard to cyclists. Engineering standards as well as Bloomington City planning documents indicate there should be a foot and a half "shy zone" clear of obstructions at the edge of the path. At the city budget hearings a few months ago parks and rec director testified to the council that Parks and rec does follow engineering guidelines on the b line however I do not believe this handrail qualifies. Can we please get some safety.

West side of b line just south of sixth street. Planter blocking path, restricting effective width of b line to about six feet. The path was engineered to a ten foot width, and parks and rec director testified to council that b line conforms to engineering standards. Did an engineer sign off on this path width restriction right at its most congested point?

Side walk on the west side of Rogers just south of 11th Street. It is a temporary driveway for construction staging I think for parking garages. I don't know what to do. What do you want me to do? The walk has never been clear. There is always been sand. Today there is a quarter inch of sand. And those big rocks/barriers have been blocking the drive since Friday. So no cars have gone over it all weekend, but there has been sand left there all weekend also. Is this just how it's supposed to be? should I give up expecting a safe pedestrian environment for my children? I don't know what to do. Please tell me what to do. I can sweep it up and put it in a bucket if you need to demonstrate that there is a real volume of material -- I will probably be able to carry the bucket but I guarantee you it'll weigh several pounds. What should I do? This isn't my job. I just walk here to take my kids to fairview elementary

Just south of 11th on west side walk of rogers. Sand, mud, gravel on sidewalk. After my last ureport on dec 7, they cleaned it up!!! First time since i started reporting it. But here they went home for the day last night, installed the baricades, and left crud all over the sidewalk. Sorry toget in your business but i think its their job to proactively comply, not yours to remind them every day. Nor mine. It has been dirty so far every day this werk and today the weathering has again reached the point where tthe sandy spots are slick

signal at smith ave and walnut (by chocolate moose) has a bunch of bike & ped problems. It's not generally possible for me to get a green light to cross walnut by bike (is the bike sensor supposed to work? it doesn't). this morning, we got a green light but it only lasted 2 seconds! this is supposed to be a greenway! i am trying to get two kids across! also, the north south crosswalk signals (parallel to walnut) are generally red DONT WALK even when walnut's car signals are green. its been screwed up one way or the other for about 9 months, but it worked fine (recall mode for east-west traffic) last summer, at least at 8:30am and 4:30pm. anyways I'm teaching my 9 and 11 year olds the illegal idaho stop light and i wish i wasn't!!
