Biking & Walking

Case Date:
11/30/2015

Sidewalk directly east of/ next to Noodles Restaurant building @ 517 E. Kirkwood is completely dark afer 5:30 pm. Last night, there were people in the tree/shrub area as we walked toward the restaurant, hidden from view. Construction tarp along this sidewalk makes walking along this strip between building potentially dangerous. There is no lighting coming off of the building or the construction site/lot. Suggest some type of lighting from building or IU lot now storing construction materials.

Allen st greenway. Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation. The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists. The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists. Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city. Thanks!

I apologize..I'm not sure I picked the right category. I would like to request a crosswalk at 11th and Walnut..across walnut. The bus stops there and let's large groups of students off that then cross, going west. After dark, I'm worried someone will get hit especially. Thanks in advance. Susan Hingle

2300-2312 E Moores Pike, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

Case Date:
1/8/2020

Walking path along the roadside at South East park is very dangerous for pedestrians. East Moores Pike, a high speed road is higher in elevation than the path. Would suggest a guard rail along the road to prevent vehicles from being able to run over someone on the path if they were to leave the roadway.

2866 W Tapp Rd, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

Case Date:

I dropped by car off yesterday at World Wide Auto, and was biking home (heading west) along the sidepath on the north side of Tapp Road. Somewhere between Deborah Drive and Weimer Road, there is a drive cut, and the sidepath has a sudden and difficult to see drop of about 8 inches to the ground. There is no warning of this drop, and I had quite a crash because of this. This needs to be corrected ASAP. Thanks!

120 S Park Ridge RD

I'm very concerned about the new surfacing on E. 3rd by the State, but I know the City supported it. I know there was not going to be a physical barrier at this point but did think the bike lanes would at least by wide. Please please make sure they are wider than the ones on N. Smith or very very few will feel safe using them. I supported the project as thought it would give me a biking option, but I'm fearful now it'll just be slimmer roads and no real bikable upgrade. Thanks for any input you can give the State!

1502 S Hathaway CT

Have reported this before, never got an answer. I was told it was something to do with the city and guard rail study. The trail at this location is below the grade of the road on Moores Pike. I requested evaluation for a guard rail to protect walkers from a car leaving the road and rolling over the hill. This is a high speed road and it is very unnerving to walk along this trail. Send someone out and stand there to see what I mean.

1111 N Monroe St, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA

Case Date:

There is a "cave in" on the sidepath along Monroe St. It is 45 inches in diameter and 17 inches deep. Looking through an opening you can see that it is hollow underneath. Stand alone pavement was supporting the weight of bicyclists and pedestrians before it caved in. This sidepath is on a long steep hill that Some cyclists are may descend at great speed. The "cave in" is hard to see by a cyclist approaching it. This is an extremely dangerous situation. Yellow cones should be placed around it as soon as possible.

The new bump outs on East Allen are incomplete and insufficient. Cars are zooming by kids walking and on bicycles. There needs to be brightly colored curb in addition to the tall reflective posts that were there before. Fix this quick before a kid gets hit!

Rogers St and Rockport Rd, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

Case Date:

I'd like to request a cross walk/light for the intersection of Rockport & Rogers. There are a couple there on other sides of the intersection but there isn't one for people wanting to cross Rogers on the north side of the intersection.
