The brand new bike lane on Kalamazoo and other pavement markings here have been badly damaged by construction equipment presumably. Needs to be redone.

The brush along this part of Van Atta is back into the roadway similar to last year. It really needs to be cut way back so it's not hitting larger vehicles as they drive down the road, even bicyclists.

Just rode the S. Lansing Pathway this evening and see that the crew put the reflective material on the bollards at the RR crossing here on the wrong sides so they're worthless. Was going to try rotate the bollards in the holes but they're rectangular so that wasn't possible. These need to be redone properly and they should also be painted yellow like the bollards on the Sycamore Creek Trail just 1/3 mi. to the east so that people without headlights might detect them at night and avoid crashing into them.

There's a large pile of sand that has accumulated where the pathway intersects the drive into/ out of the Haslett Vlg Square and at least one person has crashed on it that I know of personally. Needs to be swept clean to prevent more crashes.

East-bound lane of Piper Rd. near Van Atta Rd. intersection (maybe 300-400 ft. east) has been gone for years. Short video shows how bad it is now: https://youtu.be/tILYeSobSdg

The south-bound lane on Van Atta as you approach Grand River Ave. has deteriorated over the past 10 yrs. to the point where it's only about 6 ft. of usable road. See photo taken this morning. My bike is less than 5 ft. long.

These potholes are on the north side of the blind hill in the north-bound lane. If there's oncoming traffic cars and bikes are forced to hit the potholes which can damage their wheels or cause a crash. These have been here for over a year now w/out repair and have gotten a LOT bigger and cover more of the travel lane. Main photo is from this evening while walking my dogs.

The north and south bound lanes of Van Atta Rd. from near Tihart where the asphalt begins/ends all the way to Haslett Rd. is in awful condition. There are signs of some potholes being filled but there are a huge number remaining that haven't been filled which cause vehicles to swerve all over the road to avoid them. Bicyclists are especially in danger.
Here's a video I shot just north of the Tihart intersection:

There are many very deep potholes right in the bike lane on the corner of Haslett Rd. in the east-bound lane right where motorists tend to drift into the bike lane as they round the corner and are speeding up as the speed limit changes near here. If a bicyclist were to crash in the bike lane their body would be thrown out into the road and possibly run over. Please repair this before this happens to some unfortunate rider.

Barry Rd. between Lounsberry Rd. and Williamston Rd. has developed some incredibly awful potholes that resemble eruptions with huge chunks of asphalt large enough to damage vehicles driving over them. The worst are in the east bound lane. Too bad the repaving work last year stopped at Lounsberry.

I've noticed this winter in particular that the southwest corner ped area of this intersection does not get cleared of snow. Pedestrians are definitely using it as can be seen from all of the tracks in that area and I have observed quite a few pedestrians using it as well on my daily commute through this intersection. The other three corners have been cleared but not this one. It's not safe.

This intersection is completely covered with gravel and caused one of my friends to crash when she turned off Chandler and tried to head east on Drumheller. She was injured in multiple places on her body. This intersection desperately needs sweeping before another crash occurs.

The RR and ped crossing signs on the west-bound side of Shiawasee here are both obscured from view from the roadway due to overgrown branches. These need to be trimmed way back. While I was taking photos two different groups of people crossed the road here from Neogen, so it is a very active ped crossing. It was around 6 pm too.

The flashing light on the top of the School Zone sign in the south-bound lane is broken (bent over backwards) so that people can't see if the school zone speed limit is in force.

Barry Rd. has the biggest, steepest hills in Ingham County, so it attracts a lot of bicyclists. The potholes on Barry Rd., especially from where the repaving was done recently to the start of the big hill are very bad and cause bicyclists heading west-bound to swerve a lot to avoid crashing their bikes. This is when they are coming down the big hill so the higher speeds create a lot of wind noise such that bicyclists can't hear cars/ trucks approaching from behind at high speeds. I've had many close calls dodging potholes on this stretch.
