B Line light pole 115 (just west of Showers bldg) has been out for some time.
B Line light pole 115 (just west of Showers bldg) has been out for some time.
B line light 117 is out. I may have OCD about lights: 2 of 4 lighrs on the B bridge over 3rd have been out for years ;-).
Light 86 along the B has been more off than on for a while.
light 85 on the B is out.
End of the cascades sidepath at griffy lake dam parking lot. There is a removable bollard, and when it is removed, this is what is left. It will damage your bicycle if you don't notice it. It's especially scary if you're towing a kid trailer (like I was). It's vicious. The ones in cascades park itself are really bad (a significant bump if you hit them, and its barely wide enough for my trailer to go beside them), but nowhere near as bad as this one at griffy. The ones on the b-line are much better, for cyclists.
Construction on old 37 through cascades park (completely closed between gourley and lower cascades) ruins the only low-stress bike route north of town, offers no detour. When a crucial bike connection like this is out of commission, it is essential to offer a usable alternative, or to preserve a route for cyclists. The alternatives (kinser, walnut, dunn) have high speed traffic and no bike or ped facilities whatsoever. I realize it's insane that parks is responsible for transportation infra but that's not my choice and I wish you'd take the responsibility seriously. My kids wound up in a bike trailer on #$@! Kinser today just to access park facilities (griffy lake). When old 37 is open, its actually a great route all the way from my house to griffy. Drivers have a ton of alternatives but cyclists are high and dry. Thanks!
The 3 concrete pylons at the steps leading from S. Morton to the B-line, and another 3 where S. Morton dead ends at the Convention Center park lot, are looking poorly. They used to be painted a nice yellow each year, but there's been no mauntenance for at least 2 years. These serve as gateways to our neighborhood. Thank you.
B line light 110 has been out for a while. It's in the area between Johnson Creamery and Showers' covered parking.
Wednesday, January 22 around 7pm I encountered an SUV driving north over the bridge on the B-Line as I was riding south on my bicycle on the B-Line. I passed the SUV and they continued driving north on the trail. Thursday, January 23 around 9am I encountered a red convertible sports car driving north on the B-Line towards the bridge as I was riding my bike north (I was behind the car, thankfully). The red car did not go over the bridge and turned east toward the parking lot, at least, but this seems like a problem that needs some signage or something.
