The new building 'B-Line Heights" at the b-line and Rogers has recently constructed a short wall just next to Rogers, south east of the building itself. This new wall totally blocks the line of sight for both drivers and bicyclists, making the intersection at Rogers more dangerous.

I first reported this May 20, 2019. I received notice July 15th that it had been taken care of. I took this photo today. There is still a large pile of trash along the trail at Griffy that runs from Lanam Road to Griffy Creek. It includes 2 tires, LOTS of broken glass, and lots of sharp rusted pieces of metal. It is about 1/3 or 1/2 of a mile down the trail from Lanam Road. There is a downed tree and log between the road and trash pile that might need to be cut if a wheeled device is used to remove the trash. My original ticket in May was 168600. Other trees blocking the trail which I reported earlier (ticket 168601) have been removed and I thank you!

End of the cascades sidepath at griffy lake dam parking lot. There is a removable bollard, and when it is removed, this is what is left. It will damage your bicycle if you don't notice it. It's especially scary if you're towing a kid trailer (like I was). It's vicious. The ones in cascades park itself are really bad (a significant bump if you hit them, and its barely wide enough for my trailer to go beside them), but nowhere near as bad as this one at griffy. The ones on the b-line are much better, for cyclists.

Construction on old 37 through cascades park (completely closed between gourley and lower cascades) ruins the only low-stress bike route north of town, offers no detour. When a crucial bike connection like this is out of commission, it is essential to offer a usable alternative, or to preserve a route for cyclists. The alternatives (kinser, walnut, dunn) have high speed traffic and no bike or ped facilities whatsoever.
I realize it's insane that parks is responsible for transportation infra but that's not my choice and I wish you'd take the responsibility seriously. My kids wound up in a bike trailer on #$@! Kinser today just to access park facilities (griffy lake). When old 37 is open, its actually a great route all the way from my house to griffy. Drivers have a ton of alternatives but cyclists are high and dry.
Thanks!
Excessive Growth

On the north side of Winslow, then up Henderson the overhang from trees impairs mobility whether walking, biking, assisted mobility, strollers. The same is true on the east side of Sare Rd north of Rogers (the Rogers that runs east and west) and Hillside. Sidewalks have to be walked around because of all the overgrowth. I'm sure there are lots of other places in town but these are where I have been recently.

N College bike lane, north of 7th St approximately has lots of debris that could cause an accident. Also manholes do not belong in a bike lane. Those, too, are bumpy and could cause a mishap. Bike lane belongs elsewhere.
