Michigan Bicyclists

Inadequate bicycle parking at Panera in Frandor. The only bike rack was full, had to lock our bicycles to an outdoor patio chair. Spoke with general manager who said they can't do anything and that Video To Go had a bike rack. Made note to manager that I was patronizing Panera not Video To Go. Note: Video To Go is across the parking lot and street with inadequate bicycle parking as well in addition to unsafe pedestrian crossing to get from there to Panera.

Somebody broke a glass bottle all across the freshly sweeped bike lane on the north side of the Kalamazoo St. just past the apartment complex.

As a major E/W bicycle commuter route, I hope the City is able to clean this up asap.

Thanks!

The Kalamazoo St. bike lane is full of gravel, glass and broken car parts ever since the snow melt. I imagine the rest of Lansing's bike lanes are in a similar state. Scheduling bike lane sweepings immediately following the last snow melt will improve safety and encourage more bicycle commuting.

The City never repainted the bike lane after repaving the section of Kzoo between Penn & Holmes St. We gained a nice smooth surface but lost one of Lansing's few designated biking facilities.

Lots of broken glass in the former bike lane (the City repaved Kzoo St. months ago but never repainted the bike lane.

There is broken glass all over the walking path, especially in the SW corner by the pool
