The east-west trail running through the middle of Bryan Park needs to be significantly wider. This is a critical connection in the signed Allen-Covenanter bike route, but very awkward to ride on. Passing even a single person walking (not to mention groups, dog-walkers, kids, etc) is uncomfortable for all parties. When I come up behind someone am I supposed to ask them to walk in the grass or do I make them feel like they're in the way by trying to bounce around them in the grass? I'd avoid it, but the alternatives of either Grimes or Maxwell are scary. Please widen this connection to make it functional and comfortable for both transportation and recreation purposes. Thank you!
The intersection at Park Ave and Hunter Ave is a 2-way stop. There are multiple accidents there every year because: 1. The cars parked along the side of the road block views for those crossing Hunter 2. There is a large bush on the southwest corner that completely blocks the view west. Making this a 4-way stop would be much safer and easier to navigate.
I believe this is the same caller as Case #155238. Reported homeless men still living under the shelter house at Building and Trades park. One man started to approach the caller at 11a today as soon as the City parks worker left, but then walked away when a driver pulled up to the park. Caller is very frustrated that she can't eat lunch at a city park without feeling scared or accosted. She's requesting extra police patrols at this location.
