The lights at intersections need re programmed so that a green light happens in sequence. The cars can’t progress because the light stays red for 10 seconds while the eastern intersections light is burning green. The cars can’t travel anywhere. Very frustrating!
No signage notifying cars of B-Line trail. This newcomer apologetically backed all the way from the bridge over 3rd back to the entry from the convention ctr parking lot. Since the bars were removed, I've seen this a couple times. The Monon trail has a white stripe down the middle, which could help with this problem and with pedestrians veering into the paths of bikes (a big problem with kids.)
Noticed the iu library crosswalk on 10th is getting worked on? Our class last semester picked problem areas in town and about half of us picked that crosswalk as super awful needing to have a overpass or a pedestrian signal, etc. Please please tell me it's getting fixed finally.
Looked like E Morningside through Park Ridge is at 20 mph but Park Ridge East is at 25 mph. Can you make consistently 20 throughout? Thank you. Both remain residential areas, bike path, and such.
There is a sign that says IU game traffic . It is on westbound 46 on the way to Elletsville, I think it should be on the east bound side of 46 heading towards Bloomington.
Please consider traffic calming measures along Highland from Hillside to Winslow park - the path descends southwards, is curving, and speeding is too common. There are many children in the area for the Y, parks, gardens, schools, etc.
Three weeks ago, I was riding my bike west on 7th St in the bicycle lane as a car entered from Indiana Ave into the bike lane. I had to stop my bike and lift it over the curb to get around the car that was impeding both lanes of the bike lane. This is not my first experience with cars in the 7th St bike lane. Please install a post or bollard at the protected bicycle lane entrances to discourage cars from entering it. This is a simple, easy to install, and low cost solution. I don't understand why it wasn't installed in the first place.
My child just started school at Arlington Heights Elementary. After I pick him up I have to turn left onto highway 46, which is nearly impossible and feels very dangerous. That intersection needs a light or the elementary school needs to connect the back parking lot with the front so parents can safely exit the school. Thank you.
No pavement markings at entire intersection. Roads are wide enough for two lanes, but not marked. Causes confusion and dangerous during high traffic times.
