There is a pile of gravel and sand that is dangerous for cycling through, and especially for turning, for cyclists. It is where Plamer let's out into Hillside.

Kinser Pike road and sidewalks have been destroyed for a long time now after the construction at 17th and Kinser. These should have been repaired right after the gas line construction. Do bad this isn't the Eastside or IU as you all would've had it repaired the next day
On March 2, 2016, I submitted a question about the lack of painted crosswalks for pedestrians crossing 3rd Street at Jordan Avenue. I received a prompt reply from Matt Smethurst, saying that the intersection would be torn up soon for stormwater improvements, and the crosswalks would be completed after that. There was indeed work completed over the summer, and the curbs now look very nice, but almost a year after my original question, there are still no crosswalks painted in the street. Are they going to appear sometime?
I think it is now more than three years since there have been proper crosswalks for pedestrians crossing Third Street at the Jordan Avenue intersection. It is more than two years since the first time I wrote to inquire about it (March 2016). I was told then that it would be done in the summer of 2016. I wrote again in early 2017, and was told it would be done in the spring of 2017. A friend of mine wrote in the summer of 2017 and was told it would be done in the fall. What the heck is going on? After the recent work at Third and Woodscrest, new crosswalks appeared immediately. For it to take years at a corner where the pedestrian traffic is much higher seems truly unconscionable.
The side path along the west side of South Sare from E Moores Pike to E Cathcart is about half blocked at multiple points by trees and shrubs. Have seen people step into roadway to avoid other path users.
The mini sidewalk that runs parallel to the road has vegetation that constrains its use. Is it possible to have someone run a mower or a weed eater next to the sidewalk to remove the vegetation that falls onto the walkway. Thank you as always.
The pedestrian crossing signal button to walk from East to West across S Walnut St does not work. The one on the south East corner. I've tested it a few times in the late afternoon and waited through several full traffic light cycles. The pedestrian crossing buttons on the other corners and directions do work.
The transition from Hillside onto South Olive street is rather rough, as there is a bump up as you make the turn. On a bike this is unexpected, and a bit rough at best. Given that this is a signed bike route, could this transition be leveled out?
Bikes lanes near the patterson point construction are covered in rocks and other construction debris, most the rocks are big enough to pose a serious hazard to cycists
Have reported this before, never got an answer. I was told it was something to do with the city and guard rail study. The trail at this location is below the grade of the road on Moores Pike. I requested evaluation for a guard rail to protect walkers from a car leaving the road and rolling over the hill. This is a high speed road and it is very unnerving to walk along this trail. Send someone out and stand there to see what I mean.
