Hi Andrew, I responded below- but I wanted to alert the Engineering team about the concern related to the intersection of 3rd and Smith. Thank you!

Hi There! I will go ahead and forward the suggestion about the crossing at 3rd and Smith to our Engineering Department who will be able to respond. In terms of your concern about the development near E. Longview- I will take note of this concern and keep it in mind as we look to plan to expand our Priority Bike Network (per the Bloomington Transportation Plan (https://bloomington.in.gov/sites/default/files/2019-07/05.22.2019%20Transportation%20Plan%20Council%20Approved%20edits_0.pdf, pg 48) to include a Neighborhood Greenway which is planned to extend from the 7th Street Underpass to Morningside Drive. We recognize that, investment in nonautomotive modes must be prioritized continued development which is connected via multimodal network is the best tool to support mode-shift behaviors which beget a greater demand for these facilities. I'd be happy to discuss more, or put you in touch with one of my bosses if you would like to discuss. I can be reached at rickbeilm@bloomington.in.gov or 812.349.3529. Thank you.
