717-799 North Washington Street

The North Washington Street bicycle lane from 12th to 10th street is significantly narrower than the 5 foot standard outlined in the City of Bloomington Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines document. In addition, vehicles parked along the west side of Washington street routinely occupy some portion of this bike lane, reducing the width even further. It seems to me that this stretch of road would be better suited for sharrow markings instead of the very narrow bike line that currently exists.

The corner of Moores Pike and Claris currently has flashing Yellow lights to help pedestrians cross Moores Pike. Drivers view yellow lights as a call to speed up not Stop. I walk there frequently but cars seldom slow or stop Sometimes the cars speed up, either to beat the light or to run over me. Perhaps it would help to change the lights to red which means Stop. Or install a regular stop light. Also, at the Southeast corner of Hillside Dr and College Mall Rd. The crossing light turns on when the vehicles turn right from Sare Rd onto Hillside Dr. This is very dangerous for the pedestrian since the corner is not visible to the cars turning right. Thank you Carol Reimers A concerned pedestrian

Trees next to the bike/ped path have low-hanging branches that need to be trimmed so they don’t hit people in the face.

There needs to be improved lighting on Law Lane on the sidewalks of both sides of the street between the SRSC and the 10th street parking lot so that students are visible as they are getting ready to cross the street and while they are crossing the street. In addition, it would be extremely helpful to have a marked crosswalk across Law Lane from the SRSC to the 10th Street parking lot that has reflective paint on it or has reflectors on the ground so it is visible when lights shine on it and so students have a clearly marked area in which they should cross. I had to drive this way in the fall many evenings when it was dark and it scared me to death. The lighting was so poor that I had to practically come to a stop in this area to see whether there were students getting ready to cross the street. Thank you for your consideration! Carol Hetrick

I commute to the IU campus by bike from Park Ridge via the Polly Grimshaw trail. Where is a cyclist to go once you arrive at the bypass at this point? I have tried crossing the bypass to get to 8th by carrying my bike, but I was reprimanded by a road worker. Given the closures and lane restrictions at 3rd, 10th, and 17th, and on the bypass, where is a cyclist to go from the end of this trail? Please advise - I feel less and less safe every day on my commute.

Bicycle rack subsidies, I have heard the city of Bloomington offers subsidies for businesses to install bike racks?

The Walnut Street bike lane from 11th St to 19th St is full of debris, glass, piles of straw, and potholes. It is unrideable in its current condition because it is so bumpy. I had to get out of the bike lane and ride in a traffic lane.
