DO NOT MAKE MAJOR ARTERIES TWO WAY!!!!! That proposal is insane. The people that proposed it don't live here and clearly never have traveled Walnut and College when trucks are blocking two of the three lanes. Atwater and third also should not be changed as Third is a parade of buses and the only lane able to be traveled is the left one. I hope you don't pay the Toole people. Those suggestions are not feasible and will make going downtown something no one will do any more. Insanity!
I am very much opposed to the city considering a corridor from thoroughfare from Maple to 7th Street to Fairview Street to 17th Street. Fairview School is at the corner of Fairview and 7th. The safety of school children is more at risk. Fairview Street is very narrow with barely 2 cars being able to pass. My understanding is that 7th Street is also being considered as a green corridor welcoming more bicycling which I think is a good idea but contrary to the former proposed idea of making the corner of Fairview Street busier. Thank you.
There is a lot of weeds and bushes blocking the sight lines on the north side of the Clear Creek Trail as you are trying to cross Victor Pike tothe next segment of the trail. These tall weeds or bushes extend for 50 feet or more to the southwest along the road. My wife was nearly hit, right in front of me as we crossed the road. Between the bushes and thick trees it is difficult for bikers, walkers and cars to see eachother.
My friends and l rode the Clear Creek Trail, and finished at Tapp Rd, turned left to Weimer Rd where our map said we would find a signed bike route. I saw a narrow street. A driver at the corner said there was no bike route on Weimer. Did l miss some marker?
The pedestrian crosswalk signals at S. Walnut Street and E. Miller Drive do not work. It is impossible to cross at this point without these functioning.
Walk sign only partially functional Location: SW Corner of College Ave and 6th (social cantina) The walk sign facing across 6th (towards jewelry store) isn't displaying the walk icon with the white bulbs. The orange bulbs do work and show the stop hand and the countdown when it's time.
The West side multi-use path on Rogers Street between Patterson and Rockport, and most notably the section between the Hillside intersection and Cherokee Drive needs cleaned/serviced. It is covered in road debris and gravel/glass and is beginning to be unsafe for biking. I busted a tube and tire on my commute from Cherokee Drive yesterday morning riding over debris. Thanks for your help!
My bike was stolen from my apartment this morning. Bike lock cut. I have the lock in my apartment. 8/18/18. Regency Court Apartments. 500 E Melrose Avenue, Bloomington, IN.
Hi, Please clean the bike lane from College Ave and the bypass heading south. Also, 446 shoulders from 3rd St all the way south to Highway 50 could use some clean up. And Fairfax rd shoulders need some work as well. Thank you, Joan Ellis
