Traffic Signal Archived101-129 Marshall Street Lansing, MI 48912, USA - Lansing
Pedestrian signal at Michigan and Shepard does not ever change to walk, even after hitting the push button. I waited for three cycles before playing frogged to cross the road. A regular at the bus stop informed me that it hasn't worked for nearly a year.
The same thing is true for the pedestrian signal east a couple blocks at Clemens and Michigan...never changes to Walk. Please have somebody adjust these signals as soon as possible. Thanks!

BWL, Please Clear Your Sidewalk! ArchivedJay Street Lansing, MI 48933, USA - LansingSidewalk in front of Board of Water and Light Cedar St location has not been cleared. The sidewalk has a couple of inches of wet snow, which made it very difficult to pass. Would have been impossible for wheelchair users. Even worse, the plows that cleared their driveway and adjacent Jay St by the Nuthouse, piled the snow many feet high directly over the curb cut and sidewalk forcing people to endanger themselves by climbing over/around a mountain of snow or by walking in Cedar St. This is a very clear violation of the City's snow/ice removal ordinance.

Worst 10 ft of Bike Lane in Lansing ArchivedKalamazoo And Regent St. Lansing, MI - Lansing
The small section of bike lane along westbound Kalamazoo St. just past Regent is in very bad condition and poses a majority safety concern for bicyclists who come upon it unexpectedly. It's been like this for sometime now. The pavement is crumbling severely. I believe a plow may have caught some of the deteriorating pavement last winter and actually pushed part of the roadbed up and onto the curb leaving a dangerous mixture of deep potholes and mounded asphalt. I've been meaning to post this for some time now. I first noticed it this Spring, but it has gotten progressively worse over the summer and into the fall.
It's such a small patch, it would be great if the City could still get this fixed this fall, potentially when you are making other roadway repairs around town. The Township just finished patching a small portion of road and bike lane just East of this. Would have been a great time for neighborly collaboration.

Cycling Infrastructure Archived989-1197 Aurelius Road Lansing, MI 48912, USA - LansingAurelius road sidepath is so overgrown that is not passable on bike in certain parts. I road the northbound section last night. I assume southbound is in similar shape.

1421 East Kalamazoo Street Lansing, Michigan - LansingA red trash can chained to a tree by the side of road on Kalamazoo Street in front of the Lansing Park Apartments (across from Hunter Park) has been tipped over and trash is strewn about the right of way. It's been like that for about a week. I'm not sure who maintains the trash can (the apartments or the house on the corner), but this is not the first time this has happened. The can is also not a regulation City of Lansing, Granger, or Waste Management container, so I don't suspect that any of the haulers have this on their route.

Debris in Bike Lane ArchivedKalamazoo Street Lansing, Michigan - LansingThe Kalamazoo bike lane (as I imagine are all the bike lanes and shoulders within the City) is extremely dangerous right now. It is filled with a thick accumulation of dirt, glass, and other debris (see photo). The bottom of the downhill eastbound stretch right in front of Hunter Park is especially dangerous as it has collected all the debris from the street over the entire winter. Riding over that stretch at higher speeds from going downhill is extremely hazardous, especially because the parallel roadway right through there is laden with deep pot holes. Scary combination, especially if are not aware of the hazard before descending down the hill. I notified the traffic department about this problem area almost a month ago. Hopefully you can get out there to have it cleaned up right away. With today as the first day of Bike Month, it certainly would be appropriate and appreciated to sweep all the bike lanes/shoulders throughout the City. Thanks for looking into this.

Used car lot??? Archived1815-1825 E Michigan Ave Lansing, MI 48912, USA - LansingEmpty lot next to Michigan Mart has apparently turned into a used car lot, with three cars for sale parked in the grass, which is normally filled with trash. Is it code, to park/sell multiple cars on a vacant lot?

Trash left at donation box Archived400 Leslie St Lansing, MI 48912, USA - LansingDonation box is routinely overflowing with "donated" trash, making the end of the street look like a dump. The latest being a mattress even though the box says its for clothes. Since this morning the matress was "tagged" with spray paint. Have called the number listwd before numerous times, but always get a machine.

1700-1798 State Highway 143 Lansing, MI 48912, USA - LansingOn street parking blocks accessibility for CATA bus stop to stop at curb for pedestrians and wheelchair users. Removing one parking spot would solve problem as there are business curb cuts on either side which combined would provide adequate space for bus to pull up to curb.
