Hi, I ride my bike to work from Tamarron to North Walnut. Usually I take the bike route, including the Grimshaw Trail beside the train tracks, then cross the Bypass to Eastgate. Because of the construction on the Bypass, Eastgate is now closed, but there is no warning until you actually get there, which is very inconvenient. I also don't know how else I can get to my destination without either going all way down to 3rd, which would add about 10 minutes to my trip in each direction, or take my life into my hands by riding on 10th (I know, I know, the spandex brigade do this, but at 49 I've moved beyond the "live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse" philosophy). What I would like to know, is how can I get to work safely if I can't go from the Grimshaw Trail over to Eastgate, and why do you not warn cyclists a little earlier (like say at Pete Ellis Drive and maybe Union Street on the other side) that Eastgate is closed so we don't waste even more time heading in that direction?
Thanks,
Gerry Matthews

Regarding construction on South Walnut Street- at the intersection with second street, motorists are trying to go north from both lanes south of second into the single lane north of second street. These lanes need to be clearly marked during construction as typically the far left lane is for left turns only. Please make it easier for people to know where to go. Thanks.

It is not as safe as it should be to drop off and pickup students at the project school. The construction and parent traffic is directed to the alley between walnut street and Washington street. Often this vehicle traffic fails to yield to pedestrians making walking with children very worrisome.

i noticed a very dangerous situation that needs to be fixed. on the old part of west 3rd street that is still 2 lanes, beside the cresent donut shop, it is very narrow there, & i noticed that the edge of the street there is crumbling away. when it starts snowing in a month or 2, it will be even more dangerouse, because as the snow accumulates it can form a false shelf effect. in other words, the street there could look wider than it really is, so a driver could easily go over the edge & down into a little creek under there. please fix. thank you

A new sidewalk in this area was installed, but the road doesn't seem to be finished. There are huge potholes and it is unsafe for bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles.

Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.

S ROCKPORT RD
- Case Date:
- 9/18/1997
Rockport between 37 and Country Club has become very hazardous during the detour. Tapp Rd construction has taken far too long for the size of the project. Its not a long section of road. why hasn't this project been finished and reopened? If there's a valid problem, city or county should monitor the traffic.

S COLLEGE AVE
- Case Date:
- 9/8/1997
Citizen says City has shown poor planning by closing off College Ave right when all the students have come back, and when 4th street is also closed for a project. Why couldn't this have been done earlier in the summer when traffic wasn't so bad? College is one of the busiest streets in town and this should have been anticipated and planned better. Note: This is FYI only, citizen did not want a response.
