Dangerous road surface for bikes on Collins road. Open

3299-3499 Collins Road Lansing, MI - Michigan State University

The right side of Collins road from Dunkle to Forest has a seam/crack running most of the way that needs filling. The seam has no impact on auto traffic, however for those of us that cycle to MSU from work or classes, it is very dangerous. It is wider than a bike tire most of the way, causing tires to sink into the gap and causes riders to be thrown from their bikes. Please consider patching this, even if it is just the hot liquid tar filler.

Horrible condition pavement Open

Auditorium Rd East Lansing, MI 48823, USA - Michigan State University

This area of Auditorium/ Physics, in all directions from this intersection, the pavement is in horrible condition with potholes and heaves, cracks, etc. making for a pretty dangerous condition for bicycling especially. I know Auditorium is eventually going to get redone once the new Art Museum is finished, but that's quite a long ways from now. Hopefully this area can get capped/ repaved this summer to avoid potential problems.

  Still bad; was told the area will be getting completely redone next year so they don't want to have to do it twice.

  Still bad; apparently will be redone next year when Auditorium/ Physics loops will get redone all the way to the Collingwood entrance along with the whole Collingwood intersection.

traffic loop fails to detect bicycles Open

  Do traffic loops normally detect bicycles?

  David, actually the loop in the left turn lane of EB Mt. Hope to NB Harrison detects bicycles if you're right over the loop. So it can be done.

  I've heard of some people laying their bikes over on their sides to trip a sensor, but it might be easier to allow a car to get in front of you or... lobby the state legislature for an Idaho-style law where bikes (and motorcycles as well) are allowed to treat red lights as yields for this exact reason. See this article for more info. http://bicycling.com/blogs/roadrights/2009/07/28/a-stop-sign-solution/

Big divot for Right Hand turners Archived

College Rd At Forrest Lansing Charter Township, MI - Michigan State University

In heading to campus, I head north on College Rd and turn right/east on Forrest. For those who turn right, there's a really large divot/pot hole at the edge of the road where the dirt has eroded and some of the pavement is falling away. Is there nay way to fill this in/shore it up and maybe pave it so that we don't fall off the road? It would be really helpful if you could fix that spot! Thanks!

  I can't seem to sign in - password problem - so if you want to close it, fine. Even though some patching of the pothole occured, the shoulder next to it still needs filling with contractor gravel or something. Thanks.

bike lane tire catching crack Archived

Farm Ln East Lansing, MI - Michigan State University

when Auditorium Road was repaired, a seam was created in the bike lane. As time as gone by, the seam has widened into a crack wide enough to catch a bike tire.

In the future, when a seam is necessary, perhaps the pavement should be milled to push the seam to the edge of the bike lane instead of within it.

dangerous linear pothole - pavement breakup Archived

Northbound Harrison Rd East Lansing, MI - Michigan State University

It's now between six and eight inches deep - clearly not important to fill.

you need to ride well away from the edge of the pavement, and absorb the hostility of the drivers -- you'll catch them at the red lights, and I'm now carrying cards with the email addresses and phone numbers of Laurie Hoffman, EL city council assistant and Todd Sneathen, Director of Public Works. My hope is to use the energy of the motorists to solve the problems

  Actually, I had put in the proper address (NE Corner of Harrison and Saginaw in East Lansing) in the 'ol iTouch...but apparently it "corrected" itself. The pothole is at the NE corner of Harrison and Saginaw in East Lansing. :-)

  Nothing has been done yet. The complete section of the Collingwood entrance south of Grand River, up to where the bike lane starts, is so rough that it is dangerous to be used by bike. If you go at a save speed, motorists behind you get impatient. You can't safely use the right edge because of parked cars, so you have to take the lane.

narrow bottleneck Open

For just a few feet, not enough room for car and bike side-by-side in through lane. Could also be improved with pavement marking to reinforce right lane right turn only.

  This whole intersection is due to be redesigned & reconstructed as soon as the museum is close to being done when East Circle Dr. will also be getting reconstructed. From the preliminary designs I've seen there'll be a new signal to help move traffic more safely from E. Circle Dr. onto Farm Ln. timed with the signal on M-43/ Grand River.
