The bike lane in front of the old AMC College Mall and going down College Mall Rd. is covered in wash-out, gravel, debris, which makes cyclists have to utilize the road rather than the bike lane.
There are lots of fallen tree "gum balls" in the 7-Line between Lincoln and Grant.
The 3rd street bicycle lane adjacent to the IU campus has been massively improved with the newly installed barriers! This section of the commute takes me 3 fewer minutes to bicycle on now that drivers don't block the bicycle lane. Biking in this lane feels so much safer and more comfortable with the barriers up, especially since considering drivers tend to go pretty fast on this road. Also, the barriers don't look like an eyesore at all, which is something I previously read that IU officials were concerned about. The barriers blend into the background enough to not be garish, but they are still clearly visible to drivers and cyclists. Honestly they're pretty stylish for bicycle lane barriers. As a bicycle commuter, even small-scale projects like this make me feel cared about by the city. It makes me glad to be a Bloomingtonian! Laissez le B-Town rouler!
Neighbor at 2909 E Winston Street is cutting down an oak tree in the right of way.
In the bike lane on the east side of Kingston near the old Marsh store, there is a large piece of what looks like fiberglass insulation over the storm grate blocking both the grate and the bike lane. Thanks for checking on it!
Pedestrian traffic light at the corner of S Rockport and S Rogers is totally blocked by overhanging branches. Across from the Citgo gas station.
Why is all traffic being dangerously rerouted through residential neighborhoods on the east side from the construction?
The sidewalks on Sare Road between Spicewood (as of the morning of 6/4/24) and the roundabout on Winslow have brush that is overgrown to the point that is narrows the sidewalk down so much that only 1 person can walk through. There are also thorn bushes that will scratch you if you meet someone at the same time either walking, running or biking. The sidewalk is also overgrown from the roundabout at the top of the hill on Winslow down to the roundabout at the Jackson Creek trail and then up High Street. These sidewalks are used a lot but the efficiency is greatly diminished since much of it is interrupted by brush. I'm not sure if this is the city's or the property owner's responsibility but it would be great if this could be addressed. Thank you.
People are confused with current Greenway project. Eliminate the stop signs. That is the whole point, to create a fluid prioritized bike/ped east-west pathway where folk don't have to constantly stop and yield to oncoming traffic.
