The walk signal never shows a “safe to cross” signal on the NW corner (by Bloomington Pt and Wallpaper). Also, the “safe to walk” Signal doesn’t work on the SW corner. This is very dangerous at this high speed level intersection.
There are uneven pavements and metal plates leftover on the bike lane after recent roadwork (possibly drilling) in the last two weeks between 3609 and 3617 E 3rd St (north side/westbound). This creates two big bumps on the bike lane. Not sure if the roadwork has been finished or it will resume soon.
Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.
The sidewalk between these two houses has one step up and one step down. This increases the walking distance to the park if one is using a stroller, wheel chair, or bike, by a quarter mile if they live in the southern section of Sherwood oaks 2. Why not 2 ramps????

The north-west Conner of the metal plate sticks up enough that I could cause a bike rider a problem if they didn’t spot it…say at night.
Dangerous to cross
Vegetation is blocking half of the southbound bicycle lane, which was already too narrow.
There is excessive sand and gravel in the bicycle lane on N. Walnut St. from 17th Street to Old State Route 37. This creates a sliding hazard for bicyclists in close proximity to high-speed motor vehicles.
I originally reported piles of sand and gravel in the bicycle lane – from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street – on July 10 (Case 204099). When nothing was done, I submitted another request on July 26 (Case 204511). Six weeks have now elapsed, and the sand and gravel are still there. Why does it take so long for the city to remove bicycling hazards?
