Debris in West side bike lane of n Smith
Debris in West side bike lane of n Smith
In the westbound lane of of E. Rogers Road there are some big potholes forming at the edge of the road. The road is deteriorating or washing out in a few places (at least 2 or 3 spots in a row, separated by a short distance from each other). This is right where cyclists ride in the road, makes it very dangerous.
Big pothole in eastbound lane of traffic on Winslow near the entrance to Grease Monkey. You'll see it - might find a few bicycles in the bottom, too. It is a big one.
Bad pothole in road and right off edge of road on eastbound lane of West 11th. A couple roughly in front of 1305 have been patched but this one is just a little farther east.
The crosswalk sign that goes in the middle of the intersection of 4th & the B-Line was down on the ground off to the north of the road on the sidewalk. As of 3:45pm today.
On Southdowns just west of the intersection with Jordan Ave, the biking and walking path is being overrun with dirt and brush. The pavement and part of the bicycle painted decal is being covered in dirt now. This needs to be cleaned up.
Tree limbs in street. 3300 block of East Mulberry Drive.
The stoplight at the corner of Rogers and Rockport is not changing correctly when a car is stopped on Rockport. It has a sensor to change the light, but it doesn't appear to be working. A car stopped on Rockport waiting for the light to change will wait a long time, even when no traffic is on Rogers.
There is a significant amount of gravel in the multi-use path by Performance Refinish Supplies. It's a notable hazard because: 1. It's at the bottom of the hill where people will already be going fast on a bike. 2. There's a fast S-curve at the bottom of the hill, potentially requiring turning in the gravel section 3. The gravel has almost the same color and texture as the path, making it difficult to see with time to react. 4. There's not usually this much gravel here, making the condition unexpected. It's been a rainy spring and I already know two experienced cyclists who have crashed due to unexpected gravel or mud in turns. I spotted this hazard too late slow fully myself and just tried to keep a straight line riding through it. I nearly rode off the side of the trail, but thankfully avoided losing control.
The parkway on Sare Road is overgrown and has not been mowed this year by the city. Specifically, between Jackson Creek Middle School and the new apartment building toward the North, the grass is probably 15 to 21 inches high. If it could be mowed, it would be greatly appreciated.
