Can you please plow the sidewalks? They’re dangerous to walk on! Especially on 46, N. Dunn, and 17th.

Someone has been parked here for weeks... no license plate, extension cord running across road
Service vehicle above 7 ft in height regularly parked in this area.
Pothole in Northbound lane on Patterson Street just past intersection with Adams.
The street light at South Rogers Street and Smith Avenue was hit recently. The pole is leaning.
South-bound on Rogers at 2nd St, no cars in left-turn to east-bound lane but green arrow activated. (There were cars in northbound left turn to west-bound and they appropriately had green arrow.)
I noticed the recent guidelines for scooters don't specifically explain who has the right-of-way on the B-line trail. It's already unclear whether cars are supposed to yield to bike traffic. Some do, some don't, leading to confusion in the entire community. Now the same is applying to electric scooters. I was on a scooter on the B-Line this morning, slowed as I approached 2nd Street, and cars in each direction had also slowed as if they were yielding. I proceeded through the crossing but the westbound car did not in fact yield and nearly hit me (at a very low speed, granted--so I couldn't tell if they didn't see me or were being super aggressive). So when I approached the 4th Street crossing I came to a dead stop, as did the cars on 4th Street, waving me on. TL;DR the right-of-way rules on the B-Line were already unclear and are even more so now with a third major type of trail use. Please create clear signage at every major intersection on the trail that states who has the right-of-way so that both trail users and vehicular traffic understand the rules.
At the intersection of 6th and Rogers, cars regularly block the entrance/exit to the Near West Side neighborhood when they move from the 4-way stop at 7th and Rogers to the intersection of Kirkwood and Rogers. I would suggest marking the 6th and Rogers intersection with a "Don't Block the Box" pavement marking. Something needs to be done to stop vehicles in both directions from blocking the intersection of 6th and Rogers.

There is a pothole at W. Dodds St at S. Rodgers St. on the east side of the intersection.
