Hello Car 2/2 blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts 3/6/24 at 6:15pm KY Plate: G5R007 Thanks!
I had a horrible near-miss this morning as I was biking near the freeway. A grain truck (the kind with three sections) headed East passed me on the left with less than a foot clearance and then cut me off getting into the southbound on-ramp. The two vehicles following did the exact same thing. The other day someone in a car chewed me out for taking the lane and "Didn't I care about all this traffic?!" This intersection is on my way to work and it just needs to be fixed. It is the worst part of my commute and is so dangerous from negligent, unobservant, and angry drivers. The area from Liberty to Wynnedale is awful. There are sections of bike lanes which end abruptly, forcing people on a bike to either take the lane (if they have the confidence to do so) or share the lane with far less than three feet. The wide sidewalks are not good because drivers turning onto the on-ramps aren't looking for pedestrians or bicyclists on the sidewalk and there are lots of driveways to cross. If a bicyclist has the right to be on the street then there needs to be accommodations, signs, or better infrastructure to make it a non-lethal option.
I'm just checking if UReport sends a notification.
When heading east on Covenanter, the signal at College Mall does not recognize bikes. If a cyclist is attempting to cross and there are no cars ahead or behind them, they have to wait through multiple signals until a car comes to activate the sensor. Covenanter is part of a marked bikeway for the city, which makes this situation all the more frustrating.
The lack of 4 way stops on 7th near Dunn is a severe hazard, resulting in several accidents. This is an extreme hazard for cyclists. Can someone from the city pedestrian and bicycle commission contact me about it. I would like to add it to the agenda at the next meeting in November.
Caution sign coming out of the pavement in crosswalk at N.Pete Ellis and Grimshaw-bike/ped trail.
Bike lanes on both sides of the road are covered with rocks, sand, debris. I am a full time bike computer and use this to travel from Walnut Street Pike to Rogers on a daily basis. Both sides of Rhorer and Gordon Pike need swept from Walnut Street Pike down to Rogers Road.
Is there a timeline estimated for when traffic calming and enhancements will be made for the bike path Morningside Greenway? I believe it was a priority area on a map the other year. Looking forward to it! (and maybe slowing cars down a bit)
The intersection of Pete Ellis Dr./Discovery Parkway and 10th Street is used by residents of numerous apartment complexes, bus riders, and community members accessing the post office and the greenway that goes along 10th St. The intersection is necessary for access to Indiana University from Woodbridge and Fountain Park Apartments, which hosts many graduate students. However, there is no crosswalk, pedestrian lights, or sidewalk platforms to allow for safe crossing along this very busy intersection. Additionally, the traffic lights are not able to be seen from the four corners of the intersection, forcing pedestrians to make an educated guess on when to cross. In short, the intersection is dangerous and near impossible to cross. Would it be at all possible in the future to include a) a crosswalk b) a pedestrian crosswalk light c) sidewalk cutout/curb ramps on the two corners in which there is not one currently? Thank you so much for your consideration. We really appreciate it.
