Dangerous biking behaviors on walking/biking trail between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks Park. Can signs be placed to instruct cyclists to 1. slow down for pedestrians 2. signal by bell or voice if passing from behind 3. be prepared to stop should it be necessary. A woman and her daughter came down the path at a high speed, did not announce their presence, and almost ran over our 5 year old granddaughter. Education concerning bicycling etiquette might help. Please forward my note to the appropriate department if this is not the correct contact for this type of suggestion/complaint. Thank you.
Hello- This car was blocking the bike lane on washington between Smith and 2nds Sts 2/13/24, 6:12pm. They pulled out as I was getting my glove off to operate my camera, so I couldn't get the plate number for you. thanks again!
Hello- I was actually hit by a car on washington between 3rd and Smiths St's tonight, 3/7/24 a bit after 6 pm. A Porsche SUV driven by a college-aged female drove up next to me, then attempted to turn west onto Smith directly in front of me causing me to run into the passenger side door with my elbow and bike. I had a rear blinking light on, so this person had to have seen me as she approached. I'm fine; I yelled some very not-nice things and continued on my way. I know there's nothing to be done here, but in the interest of logging yet another incident in this area, I wanted to report. thanks again. Sorry, no picture.
Heading west has one going up a steep hill, so sometimes I'm only going 8-10mph. Routinely do drivers pass me on my bike at dangerously close range. They also have on multiple occasions threatened me, verbally harassed me, and driven recklessly on this stretch. Street space is limited, so I would suggest yellow flex posts in the middle of the street to prevent reckless passing and so bikes can take the lane.
bushes overgrown onto sidewalk
Tree leaning over the sidewalk too low even for a short adult to walk under. 620 S. Park Ave.
Trees need cut back overhanging sidewalk on E Moores Pike between N Smith and S Fenbrook lane. Please tell homeowners or association (as might have one) to clear the sidewalk. Street is too dangerous for wheelchair, bike, walking, and such. Thanks.
1404 E Atwater. Overgrown sidewalk. That street is too busy for pedestrians to be forced closer to traffic.
Shrubs have overgrown, blocking the sidewalk. It is the only sidewalk on the street.
