FYI, the only person complaining so far about speed bumps on the PRE greenway plans can easily have ZERO humps by taking Park Ridge Road home at minimally increased distance, or maximum ONE if taking Morningside.
Why haven’t you installed pedestrian crossing lines and signals yet? You’ve known about this for so long. I was nearly hit crossing with the light on foot just today. Cars in every direction had to adjust to seeing a pedestrian crossing, they all wanted to drive where I was crossing. Do something now! Tens of thousand of students are coming, always dangerous for pedestrians. Someone will get hurt with students never looking for people on foot when they’re trying to figure out where they’re going, turning, beating yellow lights, turning on red, etc. PLEASE!
Please consider installing larger/louder/more prominent warnings at B-Line crossings where pedestrians and cyclists have the right-of-way, especially where the B-Line crosses near Wendy’s and the old hospital on 3rd(?) St. There are many students here new to Bloomington and may not be familiar with the rules, plus out-of-towners and visiting parents and others. Cyclists often don’t look before crossing. I’m a driver and I don’t want to hurt anyone. If more prominent flashing lights and sounds were used, I feel it would be much safer, as anyone can be easily distracted while multi-tasking, etc. Thank you!
Bike lanes. Got some eletric other power bikes going way to fast in bike lanes. is this ok
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!
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.
At the intersection of Pete Ellis and John Hinkle, where the multi-use path crossses the road, we need a crosswalk. This is a busy T intersection, and there are pedestrians.
