I rode through on 4th heading west to east and encountered a fair amount of loose sand on the road surface. It is on 4th just east of Walnut. That was around 10:30am. I have not been back through to see if it is still on the roadway.
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.
There is significant debris – sand and gravel – strewn across the bicycle lane in several places on North College Avenue. The debris has been there for MONTHS. The debris is very hazardous to bicyclists, especially because it is so thick and extensive. Bicyclists avoiding the debris or sliding on the debris could be struck and killed by motor vehicles – especially given that the City utterly fails to enforce the speed limit, which means that drivers have less time to react. The area with these piles of debris extends for almost the entire length of Miller Showers Park.
Eastbound walk light on north side of 6th, crossing walnut, has been out for weeks. The Don’t Walk is OK
Street light along Madison between 3rd and 4th is flickering and has been for the past week
The green painted "bike box" and bike lane entering it are full of gravel and debris. It on the east bound lane of 7th Street just west of College - at the light for 7th.
There is broken glass here.
Pedestrian cross-walk buttons on west side of intersection at East Third and Hillsdale/Woodscrest (northwest and southwest corners) don't work.
1 set of crosswalk lights are out, and neither crossings of third street are activated by pushing the button.
the Polly Grimshaw trail is in its usual state of near impassability. The limbs down, overhanging branches and vines, weeds and dead plant trash in the R-O-W all serve to make the way at best hazardous, at worst downright dangerous. I'm not asking you folks to maintain this east side artery to the same standards that you use for the Monon Railroad trail, but. Especially nowadays when it's more dangerous to ride to campus than ever from the east due to continuous construction, Please pay a little attention to this path. Thank You for your assistance with this situation.
