the multi use path or trail shown on https://bloomington.in.gov/arcgis/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=f262775229f74b349c853bd13ad86841 which is East Moores Pike between Clarizz and Fenbrook does not exist. People go there expecting one. The sidewalk there is ok but not a multi use path.
24/7 No Turn on Red laws certainly have increased pollution and that causes asthma and other heath consequences. I assume this was done for bicycle safety, however, bikers flaunting traffic laws are what have caused the near misses in my experience. Just recently, a few days apart, bikers going west, blew through stop signs which give First street traffic the right of way. Had I not braked hard, each might have been hit.
During the school drop-off and pickup this intersection has a large amount of traffic. This is also the main corridor that people biking and walking use to get to to school and unfortunately is was not design to be compatible with both large amounts of student driver traffic, and walkers and bikers. This whole intersection as well as the path going into the school needs to be redone to promote more biking among the youth(including me). A well done biking friendly intersection and route into school would improve the safety for walkers and bikers as well as encourage more young students to walk and bike to school which would decrease the amount of traffic as well as the carbon emissions.
Gravel in sidewalk and street, Falling hazard.
Tent pitched ON YHE SIDEWALK in front of People’s Park this morning. LIs this allowed on a public sidewalk? Please ignore the biking/walking info. Below…accidentally touched that and cannot delete that part of the comment.
The car lanes all along 7th street this morning were completely clear, while the bike lanes were filled with a thick blanket of soggy, slippery leaves. A bike is infinitely more likely than a car to slip on leaves, so why would you prioritize cars and an appearance of tidiness for drivers over the safety of bikers and those around them?
The bike lane on 7th approaching the IMU is a real big problem. This afternoon is took me 20 minutes to go one block from 7th to IMU parking because there is NO MORE BUS lane. I think the bike lane needs to be removed. I was shocked at the slowness of the traffic. It also causes problems on the adjacent streets. This was not thought out clearly and needs to be fixed.
Longview was the best (or one of) greenways for biking, and really the only one from east side to downtown. But for probably two years now? the construction by Best Buy has clogged that up. When will that finally finish? I assume a construction requirement is that they make a nice Greenway for biking again? I'm concerned the traffic there will make it much more dangerous than it was so hoping the City has thought that complex/bike path through.
The bike lane near 250 S Washington St is constantly blocked with cars temporarily parked there. This is an established bike route home from campus/downtown to the Bryan Park neighborhood and I now constantly feel unsafe having to pull out into busy traffic to accommodate drivers of vehicles who are too lazy to find an actual parking place. This has been a chronic issue for months and I would appreciate if this stretch could be monitored/tickets given out, or some other solution so that I can once again feel safe as a bicycle commuter on that route.
I live in the highland village neighborhood on the same side of 3rd street as CVS, just across curry pike. I want to know why there are no walk signs on curry pike and 3rd st, making it nearly impossible to cross the road safely. I live a 6 minute walk from fresh thyme, yet have to drive there to feel safe. for a city that says it is trying to focus on walkability and sustainability, this is an enormous oversight. i demand walk signs on curry pike.
