Every time it snows, the sidewalks by the sorority on the west side of woodlawn never get cleared, and they're an awful mess, prompting people to walk in the street.

The city has a long history of not clearing snow, ice, and other debris from the parts of the bike lane on 3rd street that go between the sidewalk and the raised bus stop platforms. The new barriers designed to prevent car drivers from using the bike lane to drop off passengers seem to be compounding the issue, making it impossible for ordinary snow plows to clear the bike lane. Does the city have any plan at all for cleaning the bike lanes with these barriers in place? The job that was done of plowing the bike lane on 3rd between High and Eagleson was not stellar - there are many places where ice extends more than halfway into the bike lane from the curb, increasing the risk of someone slipping on the ice and falling into the path of an unsuspecting car. But we can be thankful that some attempt was made. The bike lane between Eagleson and Henderson is not only useless for bicyclists, but it is now a much greater impediment to pedestrians crossing 3rd than it was prior to the installation of the barriers.

Regarding uReport #200160 I'm sorry. I reported earlier that we had a recycling cart with a broken wheel after Monday's pickup. There was some miscommunication between my husband and I regarding our damaged recycling bin. I understood him to say that the wheel was broken but in fact, it is the recycling cart that is damaged. I took a picture of the recycling cart this morning. Attached is a picture of the functioning wheel and the broken recycling cart. I apologize for my error in reporting incorrect information.
