The Hawthorne -Weatherstone path is still entirely unplowed. The giant pile of snow at one end was reduced but it is still entirely impassable on a bike. I reported this a week ago and nothing has been done. https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=200058
Sidewalk in front of Bloomingfoods not shoveled & left to ice over as of 1/13/25.
The owner of the shopping center where Kroger is located. Is not clearing the sidewalks of snow & there is nothing but slippery ice as of last night on 1/13/2025. I assume that other property owners further East & West of the Kroger bus stop area for this shopping center, are neglecting sidewalks as well.
East side sidewalk snow and ice packed. High traffic. Also the city piled snow and left 5 foot piles blocking the paths that people use to go from the fields to the neighborhood and then bus stops. Both paths that lead from pleasant view to Clarizz treacherous and difficult. A lot of people use those to reach public transit.
After making a purchase (at 11:41:55am 1/10/25 according to the receipt) at World Foods Market I left and continued on foot to Kroger. Before reaching the corner with Walnut street I slipped and fell on the the sidewalk north of World Food Market's west parking lot, next to where they park their van. Some of their sidewalk is very well cleared, but the part north of the west parking lot is inadequately treated (and the sidewalk to the west of the west parking lot, as well).
Pavers on sidewalk are sinking right next to some concrete. Down about 2 1/2”. Almost face planted. Right outside entrance to the Alley Bar
Bicycles parked between sidewalk and street locked to city street sign for over a week
Thanks for taking this message. The west third bike lane stretch from Franklin at the west to Patterson at the east is filled with hazardous debris and deep gravel, and has been for many months. This has forced dangerous punctures, avoiding hazards by taking more of the safer pavement in the main lanes, thus alarming drivers, and other cyclists using the sidewalk. Please send crews or the machine soon.
At the end of the very nice protected bike lane on 3rd Street, buses pull over into the unprotected lane to pick up passengers at this stop, forcing bikers either to stop and wait for the bus again, take their chances on going into traffic and around, or jumping up on the sidewalk. Please ask the buses to either stop in the car lane or extend the protected lane through this bus stop.
North Dunn between Cottage Grove and 12th Street has no sidewalk at all on the west side of the street and several places on the east side that also do not have a sidewalk. This forces people to walk in the middle of the street. Lately, there have been times in the evening when there are *many* people walking (stumbling) down the street, all probably en route to/from "The Standard". These are people who cross the railroad tracks through the vandalize security fence there. If the City is not going to prevent people from crossing the railroad in the dark and over rocks and difficult terrain by putting up some sort of impermeable wall at 13th/Dunn, at least they could provide a functional sidewalk for intoxicated students to walk on. To make things worse, the street lamp at 11th/Dunn is burned out so on top of having to walk in the middle of the street it is also almost pitch black there. And this is all complicated by the fact that so many people at night drive the wrong way down Dunn and 11th Street, both of which are one-way streets.
