I don't know if the city government was involved or not but thank you if so if involved with the sidewalk replacement at Eastplex. Awesome!

610 flats on n Smith is much improved. Rest of n Smith remains sqished for bikes but more importantly the sidewalk right next to a busy road is unsafe for kids walking to school, someday. Need buffer between sidewalk and road or traffic calming
Snow plowed directly onto intersection of hillside & b line
Multiple missing sidewalk pavement stones and drain cover. Broken pavement. This has been in disrepair for years. WHEN will this be repaired? This hazardous sidewalk is a block away from where MILLIONS of dollars were spent for the little-used “7-Line” bike lane. Suggest sidewalk priority.
No snow removal on icy sidewalk
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.
Bushes are overtaking the sidewalk on the NE corner of High street, just above the Rogers/Winslow roundabout. This makes walking or biking along the sidewalk to get to the Jackson Creek Trail somewhat dangerous, as the overgrowth pushes you out towards High Street. Cars are coming out the round about and accelerating, in this area, and sure seems real dangerous for smaller kids trying to navigate the narrow strip of sidewalk with speeding cars so close.
In the transition from Longview Ave. to E. 7th St., the asphalt multi-use lane turns into a double-wide cement sidewalk. I've always stayed on the path because it links directly to the underpass at the bridge and seems and extension of the bike path. But today someone told me, "Get off the sidewalk idiot!" I pride myself on following the rules of bicycling. AQm I right or wrong to be using that stretch of cement? Also, Smith Road between 3rd St. and Moore's Pike is a disaster for bicyclists--way too narrow to safely bike on the road, but only a cement sidewalk on the west side, which then vanishes to become a multi-use path on the WEST side of the road, which then vanishes again at the corner of Moore's Pike to become a sidewalk traveling west. How can my kids safely ride their bikes down Smith Road!?
Because of the shadow from the concrete wall, the sun can't melt the snow on the multi-use path. This turns to ice and is too chunky to ride through.
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.
