The reflective signs designating the runoff/curb/flower boxes on Allen Street are white. They completely disappear in the snow. Several cars have driven into and over the curbs. Large yellow/green/red signs are needed to make these less hazardous.

To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light.
The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite.
A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.

There is not continuous sidewalk on Adams from Allen to 2nd street causing pedestrians to have to walk in the road in an unprotected area. On the East side of the road it literally ends in a wooded area and people have made a foot path from the end of the sidewalk, through the woods, to the road. On the West side of the road the sidewalk goes from 2nd south about a half a block and then just ends. This needs to taken care of by the city.

There are multiple low-hanging trees along S Park Ridge Road that make the sidewalk difficult to walk on. I believe these are city-maintained trees on the easement.

Not exactly sure what the point of a bike lane is if cyclists will regularly have to swerve in and out of it.
This is probably why everyone rides on the sidewalk on S Walnut
