Resident requested a crosswalk be painted for child safety on E Morningside across Sheffield. Asked the neighborhood association to do it but I figure we need to run that by the City first. If that's something you can do or authorize. A street art one would be awesome but normal is fine too. The striping on the crosswalks of N Smith and Morningside is getting a little worn again too.
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.
See case 177221 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=177221 The resolution here is disappointing. Cyclists need to be able to clear intersections before lights turn red. For reference, my bike weights in at about 30 pounds and is not lightweight.
Please finish the new bike path on S High street quickly. The unfinished section between Wimbleton and Meadowbluff has been a hassle, but its now getting dangerous as children and families have to walk on high street to get around construction. This needs to be resolved immediately.
It is very hard right now to cross from bikes or walking across east third. The crossing at third and Smith is not well marked and has no crossing signal. We bike on Longview Greenway but are feeling concerned with the car focused development just approved by planning commission. We need safe biking and walking and reasonable vehicular congestion. Please help and don't punt this off as a state issue after you narrowed east third while massively increasing density. Those are fine but do so in a way that keeps neighborhood safe and still connected to town.
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.
Trail parallel to train tracks, from bypass to parkridge east neighborhood is very overgrown. This a problem every year!! Should be cut at least a few times a year. I witnessed a trail user conflict last evening, otherwise i probs would not have bothered with this report.
At the following addresses, the clearance space above the sidewalk surface and the bottom of the tree canopy is quite a bit lower than the eight feet stipulated in Section 12.24.040(2) of Bloomington’s Municipal Code. The low bottom of the tree canopy at these addresses blocks the sidewalk and represents a safety hazard for pedestrians and runners. Could you please look into this issue?

There are tree branches extending into the bike lane on E. Longview Ave between S Kingston Dr and N Glenwood Ave W. (adjacent property is 123 S Kingston Dr). This is a safety hazard for bikers. Could you please look into this issue? Thanks!
thanks for cutting back the "wall" of growth on polly grimshaw trail. "Ceiling" branches still hang very low and should also be cut back, also the "corner" of the "floor" and "wall" have left-overs that still block trail in places. probably needs a "best practice" redo. thanks in advance.
