Sidewalk needed. I walked from Peppergrass to Kroger. I had to walk in the street, S. Walnut St. Pike. Very dangerous
A recent article notes the 7-line is nearing completion: https://indianapublicmedia.org/news/city-of-bloomington-continues-to-invest-in-multimodal-transportation.php?fbclid=IwAR2ov2rGiRInft6Uv4iNmbmVSzPC5jM-3m8JBBbEKeinfDGQcwjDiqGjm7E. That is NOT the case is my understanding, as the 7-line still will go all the way to Brewster's? We're SUPER looking forward to a full east-west pathway.
There are no marked crosswalks at High and HIllside/Moores Pike.
There are many low-hanging tree branches that block the path connecting S Meadowbrook Dr and S Fenbrook Ln. This is a hazard for pedestrians and bikers.
The southbound bike lane ends too early right before the light. I was riding my bike along the road here and when it ended I didn’t know where to go because I was squeezed into car traffic turning right, however I wanted to go left, so I tried going up to the crosswalk with a walk signal to do a box turn. Whenever I did this the right turn car traffic was too close to the curb which pressed me into it as well and it caused me to hit the curb and I lost my balance and went over the curb, breaking my arm.
I have been seeing many people on bicycles acting dangerously at this intersection. Biking in between lanes of cars and disregarding the stop sign and pedestrians.
The bike lanes on North Smith Road are crumbling and are more dangerous to use than the car lanes. It would be really nice to see an extension of the sidewalk to incorporate and combine the existing bike lanes, so the sidewalks are wider, and the vehicle lanes feel narrower, which might help reduce traffic speeds through the winding/hilly residential area and make the path feel safer to bikers and pedestrians.
