Biking & Walking

615 S Adams ST

Case Date:
7/20/2020

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.

631-699 N Rogers St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47404

Case Date:
8/5/2019

The new building 'B-Line Heights" at the b-line and Rogers has recently constructed a short wall just next to Rogers, south east of the building itself. This new wall totally blocks the line of sight for both drivers and bicyclists, making the intersection at Rogers more dangerous.

651 W Skyline DR

Case Date:
6/22/2020

There is a walk way from Cascades Addition from near 651 Skyline Drive that goes into the Arlington Elementary School yard. I have tried but never have been able to find out who (school or city) is responsible for it. I think the school has cleared it out every year before school starts. Children from the neighborhood walk to school that way and people walk to Kroger or to the walking path and frisbee golf course at Arlington. Right now it is really overgrown and some people have come racing their bicycles and scooters out of it and almost hit us twice (they were young adults). There used to be posts on it so no one could do that or try to drive on it! Picture is From Skyline Dr. looking up (see cut off post). I think the posts need to be put back up and it definitely needs to be cleared on both sides of path from overgrowth.

I visited the Hopscotch location along the B-Line on Sunday morning around 10:00 AM. The bike rack along the B-line was completely full, with overflow bikes locked up to surround trees. It looks like this location could benefit from additional bike parking. Thanks for looking into this.

7th & Washington, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA

Case Date:

7 Line bike lane blocked by large temporary road sign. This made biking east on 7th St difficult for me and my daughter as we had to get into the wrong bike lane right before the Washington St intersection which was busy at the time.

Biking & Walking

7th St & Grant St, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA

Case Date:
9/23/2022

Every time I ride on the 7 line, which is every day, there’s some incident where a car almost runs me over. It’s terrifying but I keep riding because it feels worth it. But today, there were four incidents. Every time, I had the right of way. And every time, whoever was driving was completely unaware that there were other people on the road whose lives and needs mattered as much as theirs do. And despite my having the right of way, they all came close to plowing me over because they weren’t looking. Even when they would have clearly seen me riding ahead of them before they came to an intersection to turn. I don’t know if there need to be more signs, or speed bumps, or driver education, or making cars illegal unless you’re disabled. But whatever the case, something major needs to happen if this city is going to be safe for bikers and pedestrians. I am fed up with risking my life every day and trying to adapt to a city that is built around cars and not human bodies. When are we going to prioritize all other modes of transportation over cars, which are deadly machines that emit toxic fumes? Why is there a new parking garage but there’s no way to bike to the east side? I’m tired of feeling like I could be killed at any moment because of some stranger’s lapse in judgment. Also, there’s been broken glass in the 7 line just east of walnut for like 3 days.

800 E 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA

Case Date:
9/1/2022

Be advised that bicyclist and scooterists are subjected to extremely dangerous riding conditions while using the 3rd street bike lane (traveling West between Eagleson Ave & Indiana Ave). Both the signage and the enforcement for this area are inadequate resulting in vehicles generally disregarding the bicycle right-of-way in the bike lane. Bicyclists must either come to a sudden and complete stop to avoid colliding with vehicles parked in the bike lane, or risk traveling into busy vehicle lane traffic to swerve around parked vehicles. I experience this problem happening almost every day while riding in this bike lane, and the individuals who are parking in the bike lane are generally resistant when I ask them to move out of the bike lane. A long term strategy that should be implemented as soon as possible would be to construct a raised curb and/or visibility bars along the shared edge of the bike lane/vehicular lane. This can easily be designed to accommodate the busses and university vehicles that need to pull to the bus stops or onto the sidewalk by including strategic gaps. This should ideally be done before a vehicle and bicycle immanently collide resulting in injury or worse. I have tried reaching out to various city and university departments, so I trust that you will consider this ticket or ensure that it is taken seriously and responded to by the relevant department.

Case Date:

Will there be crosswalks installed at the intersection of E Maxwell Lane and Sheridan Road? As it is, the intersection is extra-wide, making it more dangerous than the average intersection for pedestrians. Crosswalks would help.
