Stones from the wall along the sidewalk keep falling into the sidewalk. These are large stones and create a tripping hazard, especially for someone with impaired vision or during low light conditions. The landlord does nothing to address the problem which has been going on for a long time and is getting worse. Passers-by sometimes try to get the stones out of the way, but they keep falling back onto the sidewalk.
The boulder that was installed at the corner of South Fess Avenue and the alley behind Bloomingfoods/The Elm has been moved into the sidewalk.
According to John Garzee’s response to Ureport #210034, “Cyclists traveling east-west are not being detected at the signal, so they have to use the pedestrian push button to get a green. The current equipment does not reliably detect bikes, and fixing this would require upgrading the detection system. We’ve noted the location, but until funding is available for that upgrade, the signal will not consistently turn green for people biking.” In light of this situation, are there resources available to make the pedestrian beg button accessible to cyclists? It is currently impossible for a cyclist to press the button without getting off the bike and walking to the sidewalk.
When waiting at the light to cross College Mall on Covenanter coming from the west, the light will not change if you are a cyclist waiting at the intersection and no car is behind you. This has been the case for years. My only solution has been to go through the red light after cars are done turning and hope for the best. This is a greenway route, so I hope this can be improved as soon as possible.
I just submitted another ticket for this location but made a mistake. The shrubs are blocking the sidewalk on the west side of the street south of smith
There are branches and shrubs blocking the way through the sidewalk on the west side of Madison between 2nd and Smith.
Contractors have broken biking/walking path and track mud over the area using S. Sara Rd. as a construction entrance. Approved plan? Permits? Covering cost of damage to city property?

Vegetation overhanging sidewalk. West side of College Mall Road, just north of Covenanter.
The HAWK crossing on S Walnut St between Switchyard & the B Link has some serious safety issues due to drivers not stopping for the flashing red light. I have witnessed even BPD officers blow through this. If our own cops can't figure out how it's supposed to work, I have no confidence in regular drivers. I have nearly been hit at this intersection multiple times due to drivers either not stopping for the flashing red or blowing through the solid red entirely. This corridor is in the highest priority tier on the city's safe streets map so I am hoping Planning or Engineering can look at ways to improve this intersection. Even just increasing the solid red timer would help in the short term, but this HAWK crossing doesn't seem to work well in general compared to the ones on Country Club or the new one on the rail trail on S Rogers.
