I was struck that there are pedestrian ramps on the south side of W. 3rd St. This indicates to me, as a pedestrian, that there is an intention for me to be able to cross Patterson Blvd. Having done this on multiple occasions, I take my life in my hands: there is a right-hand turning lane on Patterson at 3rd. Many vehicles turn right onto Patterson while traveling east on 3rd, and don't anticipate a pedestrian. There is no crosswalk at this location, which will be imperative with the new retail development just west of this intersection. While I doubt that there are many pedestrians crossing here, you may as well anticipate a crossing signal, which would be a kindness.
The new construction has contributed significant debris to the east-bound bike lane. This occurs with many of our development projects: when the apartments on N. College just north of the railway overpass were being constructed, the muddy (erosive) runoff and rocks were obliterating the bike lane. And during the recent downtown construction of ONB, the bike lane was full of rocks and crud. The debris remains on the north side of 4th, between Lincoln and Grant, at the alleyway cut.
sand and gravel in road. very dangerous for bicycles to turn here. please send street sweeper.
There is a problem when driving in a car going south on Palmer and approaching Allen St. Cars park too close to the corner to be able to see bicycles coming from the west. Please mark the corner for no parking.
Overhanging bushes
The hair salon businesses located near 1025 S Walnut St would benefit from a bike rack. The owners of the salons expressed interest in the rack but were unsure of landlord support for a rack. The location is ideal for a rack as it is near the B-line and bike boulevard on Allen.
Bricks missing
Sidewalk/path ends. I have to cross the street twice to avoid it. Please develop the path more soon...
