I noticed that spot by Ryan St. it was one of the few places on the
paths today where I had to dismount -- a real rutted, slippery, scary
mess.
I wish I'd had the presence of mind at the time (as well as the
necessary materials) to stick a sign in the snowbank. That might
work better than the website for calling attention to this problem.

level, because the streets were completely snow-free. Plutonium
award anyone?????
Also, have people noticed that the east rail corridor bike path at
Ryan St. (one block west of Fair Oaks) is almost completely covered
by a snow mound? The bike path curve because of a storm sewer, I
believe, but Streets plows snow on dead-end streets past the end of
the street, in this case, onto the bike path. Now that a lot of
snow melted, you can see where the yellow stripe down the middle
goes into the snow bank, and the westbound lane is on a muddy
downslope toward a drainage ditch. I reported this on a "Report a
Problem" over a month ago, with the usual (non)-response.

I rekon that the weather may change this, but thought I'd report it
anyway.
Travelling the Commuter LInk path thru campus this morning (Sunday)
between MILLS and BROOKS (I think that is correct) there is a LONG,
LARGE icy puddle.
Beware: It was basically like a slushee, several inches deep, and I
ran out of momentum and stalled out halfway thru. Fortunately, I
was close enuf to the side so I
could rock over and get a foot down OUTSIDE of the icy mess (it
woulda soaked my shoe for sure). Isn't what I'd call dangerous,
just annoying and a potential dunk if you can't crank thru it. I
rekon the low points on the paths (and streets) will start to
present this problem. I'll be steering around this one for the next
few days. It's hard to tell the depth of some of these small lakes,
but the icy flotsam makes them a bit
Daunting.
Otherwise things are clearing up and my new studs are a blast.
