Grant st sidewalk south of 9th street covered in mid and chunks of concrete.
Vehicles routinely stop in the bike lane near the pedestrian island at the Jordan Bus bus stop. The pedestrian islands are great! But if selfish motorists block the bike lane waiting to pick up their friend (the "diva drop-off" phenomenon), they don't work. This is a frequent issue during the day.
This heavily used biker/walker commuter path from Morton onto the b-line gets blocked with snow everytime it's plowed, but it would be easy for the plow drivers to leave a bike/walk pathway so we don't have to carry our bikes over the snow several times a day.
The ramps leading to the underpass have not been cleaned from snow nor ice. This problem was present yesterday morning and evening as well.
Just an observation: I noticed in the municipal rules for Bloomington bicycling, that Tricycles are still listed as toys and exempt from the regular rules , and in some cases prohibited from the regular rules of the bicyclists. I feel as though a clarification may be needed, as there are tricycles that are not toys in the familiar sense. My "bike" has 3 wheels and has the ability to keep pace with road traffic in some areas of town. The wheel size on my trike is 20", and by no means a kids play toy in the conventional sense as my top speed is about 50 MPH (yes, non-motorized) Thank you for you consideration into looking into the update of the language for tricycle definition. Sincerely Randy Craw, proud owner of a modified for speed, recumbent, Catrike, road edition bike.
Trying to cross here on foot or bike is a complete clusterfuck!!!
Sand and gravel blocking the multi-use path on the bypass near N Dunn St. I dare anyone to bike through this on a road bike. Isn't there a regulation that says the owner of the property must keep the path clear? Sand and gravel are constantly accumulating there.
Sand and gravel are drifting back onto the path making it dangerous for bicycles to ride through.
I really like it when drivers have to go over the speed limit, in the wrong lane, to pass me when I'm already going the speed limit downhill on my bike. Makes me feel super safe. (Plllease patrol these potentially deadly motorist behaviors)
