Biking & Walking:

Other: Is it possible to have a crosswalk painted on 3rd at Rose? Today I saw a blind person trying to make the crossing. Per the email below, a few years ago, it seemed this was a possibility. Yes. There will be marked crosswalks on 3rd at Rose. On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Schertz, Hannah H. <hschertz@indiana.edu> wrote: Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes. My concern is crossing 3rd at Rose as a pedestrian. Is there any chance of a crosswalk there? Thanks, Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146 From: Adrian Reid <reida@bloomington.in.gov> Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 10:49 AM To: HSchertz <hschertz@indiana.edu> Subject: uReport request Good morning, Thank you for your uReport request regarding Rose Avenue. At this point, the likelihood of a sidewalk on Rose Avenue is very low. You probably have noticed changes on 3rd Street as a result of the City's Greenways Implementation Plan, however. Rose Avenue in the segment you describe is designated as a neighborhood greenway as well. So you will see some additional signage and striping at the 3rd & Rose intersection if you haven't already. Thank you again for your uReport request. Thanks, Adrian

Cannot currently install accessible crosswalk. Crosswalk request added to future prioritization list. Constituent emailed the following information: Unfortunately, at this time we will not be painting a crosswalk at this location. One of the main reasons for that decision actually relates to accessibility requirements. Our policies, as well as those of the Department of Justice, now require that new infrastructure must be accessible to all people and not just those that are able-bodied. Before we create a crosswalk, we first make sure the location has accessible curb ramps and this intersection does not have accessible curb ramps across 3rd Street. I know this sounds like a technicality, and it is, but we would want to have accessible curb ramps installed before marking a crosswalk at this location. I will be adding your request to a list of crosswalk requests from around the City that can be evaluated and prioritized. The City has been awarded federal funding for an upcoming project to install crosswalk improvements. While I can't yet say whether that project would prioritize 3rd at Rose, the project will specifically be targeting areas that require additional construction work to install or improve a crosswalk.
