On George, right after the intersection heading eastbound

Elm Street between Howe and West Park Ave is frequently used during the afternoon as a bike route from downtown to the Edgewood/Westville area.

I think that some sharrows (at the very least) could really be used on Elm. I've had some bad instances before here, and think that with the high volume of cyclists who use Elm Street, there should be some accommodations for the sake of safety.

When the roundabout was installed at West Park and Elm, there were sharrows painted on the streets by the intersection. It would be nice if these were continued down Elm.

Thanks

The button on the NW pedestrian signal on Court and State is unresponsive (as of yesterday).

This morning, the walk signal on the South side of Elm, going across York St, was faulty. It started the countdown from 59 seconds, or so, and then proceeded to jump over large gaps of numbers. For an example, the signal might have displayed 49-48-24. This occurred two or three times during one light cycle.

This is very dangerous for pedestrians.

There have been three glass panels out in the bus shelter by the park.

There is graffiti on the bus shelter by Chapel Haven

Bus shelter smells like urine, and has some minor graffiti inside

The buttons work, and the traffic lights apparently turn red, but the signal heads don't show the Walk Signal.

The route from Alden Ave to the Mitchell Library is a bit flawed. Harrison St has very low traffic in the opposite direction, and cyclists can either go against traffic in the street, or take the sidewalk (both which are illegal, unless you walk your bike). The other way to go would be to use Phillip St, and then go up the hill towards the library.

Why not install a contra-flow bike lane to accommodate cyclist traffic?

There is a broken beer bottle on the sidewalk

The sign show on College in front of Co-Op is either crooked on the post, and slightly dented, or is an interesting piece of art. I honestly can't tell, based on the artsy poll.

There have been a large amount of teens on bikes in the downtown area by the green driving in the street very dangerously (going through red lights very slowly, swerving in and out of lanes, disobeying traffic laws..) This is a danger for vehicular traffic, pedestrians, and especially the bike riders.

This afternoon I rode over to the Book Trader cafe, and I have a very difficult time finding a place for my bike. All spots possible were taken (I finally managed to squeeze my bike with another one).

A bike rack is needed on the the South side of the street

There are lots of rocks on Edgewood Ave covering where cyclists are supposed to be riding, by the new school. This creates a dangerous situation, because cyclists have to have a sudden merge with the other lane.

Parking meter 304 is not working properly

The bus shelter at the intersection has a large tag covering it.

Recycling on Elm Street was not picked up this morning (trash bins were left a mess, too, but oh well). Don't know about any of the surrounding area.

The bus shelter by Walgreens has been vandalized, and buildings in the surrounding area have been tagged as well.
