Bike air pump at bike repair station (at Grimes and B-line trail) is broken. It seems to be missing the pump handle from the air pump, and is not functional as an air pump.

Broken air pump at bike repair station on B-Line trail near Bloomingfoods. The lock-lever on the air hose does not engage and it will not seal onto bike tire nozzle.
What hubris this city has. It wants compliments, but there is no place to complain. I can't even get to the ombudsman anymore. There are no email addresses. I will NOT join any of the social media sites I hate the existence of to contact government. It is wrongdoing to re1quire them. My complaints: 1. The signal at walnut and smith is out of sync with the other signals, wasting gasoline to help idiot bikes. 2. Closing Rogers street is STUPID. They buyilt a bridge to connect Rogers street 20 years agon, and now the idiots in the city want to close it for a stupid tech park that will never be used. Today my wife missed her appointment (and had to pay for it anyway) because you closed streets for a totally unnecessary (LUXURY) foot race. It is supposed to be against state law to hold races on public streets. There was no way to get out of my neighborhood to get to a 9:00 am appointment.
The water fountain at the trail head near the B-line is continuously running
icy walkway under B-Line bridge on Grimes. And icy bridge on B-Line trail over Grimes.
Lights are out at 129, 130, and 133 on the B-Line. Given this is a rough area sometimes, it really needs better lighting.
Vulgar calls for chaos, rebellion, and instigating gang-related activity
I was biking south on the B-Line trail yesterday, and was almost hit by a construction truck darting across the trail into the new development just north of the train tracks. Is construction traffic required to yield the right of way here?
Please consider adding a ramp connecting the B-Line to Adams Street at the north end of the trail; this would make transitioning to the street from the trail (and vice versa) a lot more convenient and easier for cyclists.
There is substantial gravel residue all along the B-Line due to the recent rain. Many larger patches that are dangerous to cyclists are in the block between Allen and Dodds streets.
