A woman called the OOTM to report that the construction fencing at 3rd and College on West Side is coming apart and flapping.
Can we get the painted bicycles on the road again soon in Park Ridge East. Hoping they slow traffic a bit and have people look out for the bikes on the bike friendly road. Sooner the better. Thanks!
The Bloomington Bagel Company at 113 N. Dunn Street recently installed giant umbrellas on their outdoor patio tables. As a result, the tables and chairs are extending into the pedestrian right of way on the sidewalk. The umbrellas are also not tall enough to safely walk under. It appears to be presenting several hazards and blocking safe access for pedestrians and individuals who use wheelchairs.
Hello: Recently visited Bloomington (IU grads) and noticed the street lights on the B-Line Walking trail. I am involved with our neighborhood association and would like the manufacturer/ supplier info if possible. Appreciate any assistance. Love B-Town! Rich Schamerloh
This morning I was bike commuting to work when I had a near miss at the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside. A car on Smith Road going towards 10th St. did not give me the right of way. Luckily I never assume a car would give me the right of way at a stop intersection so I was able to stop in time. These events occur sometimes on my commute. However, I decided to contact you because the same happened yesterday, another car, another time of the day. Would it be possible to place extra signage in that area, e.g. Beware of bicycles and pedestrian?
Bike Lane on North College has debris under railroad trestle that blocks passage, forcing dangerous sudden merge into the automobile lane.
DO NOT MAKE MAJOR ARTERIES TWO WAY!!!!! That proposal is insane. The people that proposed it don't live here and clearly never have traveled Walnut and College when trucks are blocking two of the three lanes. Atwater and third also should not be changed as Third is a parade of buses and the only lane able to be traveled is the left one. I hope you don't pay the Toole people. Those suggestions are not feasible and will make going downtown something no one will do any more. Insanity!
I am very much opposed to the city considering a corridor from thoroughfare from Maple to 7th Street to Fairview Street to 17th Street. Fairview School is at the corner of Fairview and 7th. The safety of school children is more at risk. Fairview Street is very narrow with barely 2 cars being able to pass. My understanding is that 7th Street is also being considered as a green corridor welcoming more bicycling which I think is a good idea but contrary to the former proposed idea of making the corner of Fairview Street busier. Thank you.
There is a lot of weeds and bushes blocking the sight lines on the north side of the Clear Creek Trail as you are trying to cross Victor Pike tothe next segment of the trail. These tall weeds or bushes extend for 50 feet or more to the southwest along the road. My wife was nearly hit, right in front of me as we crossed the road. Between the bushes and thick trees it is difficult for bikers, walkers and cars to see eachother.
