I just contacted Rob Kennedy of UW Transportation Services about Issues 1 and 2.
For issue 1 - MGE installed and maintains the lights. Rob will contact them. For issue 2 - Rob will have it checked out and taken care of. For issue 3 - I am trying to verify the responsible person.

I've noticed that the solar lights along the path near Forest Products and the VA are at a 30% INOP status, and have been that way for quite a while now. Nothing seems to be in place to maintain them. When will the INOP lights be repaired? Second. The shrubs along the path near the VA have grown to a height that they now obscure the few remaining lights that work. In addition, the shrubs now take over (in spots) 1/3 of the path. Again, why is there nothing in place to maintain the path? Third. The path collapse due to shoddy construction from Whitney Way all the way along the new path section to Allen BLVD. I brought this up with the City last winter when a huge sink hole developed. There was a patch job done fairly quickly (thanks to those who did this), but I've noticed within the last two weeks contractors out repairing the road sections and making motions as if they were going to repair the path, too. They marked and cut apart the bike path as if they were about to repair the path, then disappeared. Now the path is covered with cut marks from a saw. The collapsed sections are still collapsed. The patches to the path they made are crappy. The cuts from the saw are sitting there waiting for the winter ice to break them apart. The contractors who did it improperly in the first place are no where to be seen! What is the city doing about this? David
