Construction on old 37 through cascades park (completely closed between gourley and lower cascades) ruins the only low-stress bike route north of town, offers no detour. When a crucial bike connection like this is out of commission, it is essential to offer a usable alternative, or to preserve a route for cyclists. The alternatives (kinser, walnut, dunn) have high speed traffic and no bike or ped facilities whatsoever. I realize it's insane that parks is responsible for transportation infra but that's not my choice and I wish you'd take the responsibility seriously. My kids wound up in a bike trailer on #$@! Kinser today just to access park facilities (griffy lake). When old 37 is open, its actually a great route all the way from my house to griffy. Drivers have a ton of alternatives but cyclists are high and dry. Thanks!
B line light 110 has been out for a while. It's in the area between Johnson Creamery and Showers' covered parking.
B-line lights 76 and 77 have been out for quite some time. it would be great if a person rode the trail periodically to spot and fix these issues as part of a regular process. Thanks.
B-line light posts 32, 33 34, 38, 46, 47, 60 are out.
Question: when do you exoect to turn on water fountains along the B? Thank you.
B-line light posts 41 and 49 are out. Thank you.
All four lights are out on the B-line bridge over 3rd Street. The area is unusually dark because the park lot behind the Convention Center has been entirely unlighted since about March.
B-line light 141 is out. And 98 blinks - on, off, on, off. Thank you.
On west side of b line between kirkwood and sixth. This handrail goes up against the very edge of the b line, exactly at handlebar height for cyclists. This is a congested part of the b line where it is often necessary to ride at the very edge of the path. It presents a hazard to cyclists. Engineering standards as well as Bloomington City planning documents indicate there should be a foot and a half "shy zone" clear of obstructions at the edge of the path. At the city budget hearings a few months ago parks and rec director testified to the council that Parks and rec does follow engineering guidelines on the b line however I do not believe this handrail qualifies. Can we please get some safety.
