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
Poison ivy is growing rapidly on the third yellow pole east of Jefferson on the south side of the pedestrian path. There's also more poison ivy along the north side of the path, further east, on the ground along the edge of the path.
There are still no crosswalks across East Third at Third and Jordan. I was told last August that they would be installed (uReport case #160616). I learned that a friend has also reported this a couple of times over the past two years and been told that they would be installed. I'm beginning to doubt the city's sincerity on this matter.
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.
Lights 118 (Rogers and B-Line) and 149 (between Adams and Moravec Way) are not working.
At 7:26 am on 11/31/2023, a motorist in a dark BMW nearly ran me over as I was crossing the street. The vehicle was traveling about 50 MPH based on my calculation (speed=distance/time.) This is not the first near miss that I have had crossing the street or backing out of my driveway. I have sent in requests for a speed hump as motorist travel north and south between 3rd and 5th much faster than 25 MPH. I have not heard back from anyone. Please let me know that you have at least seen this uReport ticket. I tried to submit this report in the "Close Call" section more than once and it does not work.
Hello- Car blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts 11/6/23 7:33pm IL plate: ZZM439 With the time change it's a little more difficult for me to get a good picture, but I'll keep sending these so you all so you can keep tabs on how regularly cars are parked in this bike lane and maybe figure out something to do about it. thanks again!
