Biking & Walking

210 N Smith RD

Case Date:
9/10/2019

Treacherous bike riding jn "bike lanes" along Smith Rd. from E 3rd street up to 10th St. There are large sticks, large pieces of trash, grates that could cause tires to cause an accident. Bike lanes are no where near wide enough. You cannot count the 'gutter' area as a bike lane as its unevenness can catch tires and cause wrecks. Also, there must be several inches for a biker to be able to move over when a car comes around him/her dangerously close. You are asking for serious injury and even deaths if bikes are knocked out of the lane into the path of oncoming cars from either direction. I'd like to challenge anyone to try to stay in those dangerous, narrow lanes day in and day out on the commutes to work. If it is the law to allow bikers 3 feet for safety, cars need to see the definite boundaries of that 3 feet. Too many cars have passed me where I could reach out easily and touch the cars. They also pass me dangerously close to returning to their lane as oncoming cars approach.

Hello I was in an altercation with a car on high Street this week it was a contractors vehicle he refused to allow me to cross he stopped in front of me he looked away so that I couldn’t tell if you know I was there or not he backed into reverse as I started to walk behind him and then when I spoke to him he told me that I was jaywalking and therefore somehow didn’t deserve to be treated with respect as a pedestrian. I put in a complaint with the contractors employer. But I’m wondering what the city plans to do to ensure that pedestrians and also bicyclists are treated with respect as our court neighborhoods become ever busier due to construction, flipping houses, and implementation of the new UDO. I was an avid bicyclist for about two years but I have since quit because I do not feel safe even in the corn Aber hood. I see people looking down at their phones while driving all the time. A friend of mine was in an accident, another was killed. And now I am harassed as a pedestrian by a contractor who does not understand that jaywalking it’s not an issue in a residential neighborhood. The incident happened at the intersection of Viva and high Street. Since many people do cross there, I would suggest at the very least at the city put in crossing lines and a pedestrian sign or perhaps a stop sign. Thank you

If I stay on the sidewalk because I am pushing a stroller I get smacked in the face by overgrown foliage, much of which appears to be invasive and about to seed

The sidewalk on the east side of High Street (there isn't one on the west side at this point) is being overtaken by overgrowth, pushing pedestrians into a fairly high speed section of High Street. This is just north of the round about at Winslow/Rogers.
