Traffic Signals

Case Date:
5/30/2023

signal at smith ave and walnut (by chocolate moose) has a bunch of bike & ped problems. It's not generally possible for me to get a green light to cross walnut by bike (is the bike sensor supposed to work? it doesn't). this morning, we got a green light but it only lasted 2 seconds! this is supposed to be a greenway! i am trying to get two kids across! also, the north south crosswalk signals (parallel to walnut) are generally red DONT WALK even when walnut's car signals are green. its been screwed up one way or the other for about 9 months, but it worked fine (recall mode for east-west traffic) last summer, at least at 8:30am and 4:30pm. anyways I'm teaching my 9 and 11 year olds the illegal idaho stop light and i wish i wasn't!!

Traffic Signals

Case Date:
9/1/2022

signal at smith and walnut (just north of seminary square) used to operate in some sort of recall mode, but this week has not been. as a cyclist i dont seem to have any way to activate the signal. i'm typically eastbound here and stopping in the middle of the bike rectangle there doesnt seem to have any effect. i have been running the red, which is unideal. thanks!

Biking & Walking

Case Date:
8/8/2022

bridge over train tracks where rogers turns into madison (about 800ft north of 11th&rogers). NB bike lane (on east side of rogers) merge zone was inadvertently removed with new paint. originally, there was a merge zone (dashed white line) where the bike lane ends. when the bridge was resurfaced last year, they got the merge zone correct but added an extraneous solid white line north of the merge zone. when they repainted, they simply made the whole thing a solid white line. the current spot where the bike lane appears to end is a dangerous spot to merge. even with the striped line in the right place, this was an uncomfortable merge. it needs to be improved, not harmed. thanks!

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:
8/25/2021

This is follow up on ureport #176835, covering the sidewalk just west and south of the train bridge at 11th and fairview. After 2 weeks without any progress from the city, I started doing it myself. I removed most of the large honeysuckle plants growing within 2-4 ft of the sidewalk. I removed the branches overhanging within 6.5ft of the sidewalk. As you can see in this picture, I shoveled the dirt off of the inner 1ft of the sidewalk, *and found the edge of the sidewalk* for the first time in decades!!! I did not complete the shoveling. I've put in about 3hrs labor at this site so far and anticipate another 1.5hrs before completion. It would be awesome if this kind of clearing happened at the numerous places where hillsides have collapsed onto sidewalks, often reducing effective width by 25-50%. should i finish shoveling this one or can someone in public works do it?

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:

Sidewalk on the north side of roughly 11th Street where it meets Fairview Street completely blocked by vegetation. This is just southwest of the train bridge. Note that there are obstructions above ground level as well as at ground level. Note that there is further vegetation just around the corner closer to the train bridge. Thanks!

Trails

Case Date:
4/25/2021

Old 37 & n walnut. The ped xing across walnut (part of the cascades trail that connects to griffy) is still / again broken. I stayed for five minutes, pushed the beg buttons lots of times, tried both directions. Always the red hand, never the white walk. The intersection is cycling normally and promptly for cars. The crossing of old 37 appears to be operating in ped recall mode (ie, working), though its countdown timer is misconfigured. But the high-stress crossing of walnut is versnickered. I get sick when i think how many millions of dollars we've spent on this recreational facility to still have this gap in the most dangerous part.
