Hello- This car was blocking the bike lane on washington between Smith and 2nds Sts 2/13/24, 6:12pm. They pulled out as I was getting my glove off to operate my camera, so I couldn't get the plate number for you. thanks again!
West side of north grant st sidewalk between 8th and 9th st is covered in layer of mud after every rain. Looks like curbing is needed slong sidewalk edge.
the curbs and streets out here are in need of MAJOR repair. we have complained numerous times and over one year ago were told this would be addressed. there is at least a 2 inch drop where the curbs and walks are completely deteriorated. we pay CITY taxes and want this fixed immediately Over a year in complaints and still nothing has beed fixed or even addressed
Are the curbs on Allen St going to be painted? Cars frequently go 30+ miles per hour now that there is no physical indication to go slower. Maybe a sign? Maybe some yellow curbs?
Not exactly sure what the point of a bike lane is if cyclists will regularly have to swerve in and out of it. This is probably why everyone rides on the sidewalk on S Walnut
Broken glass
There are large amounts of broken glass in the road in the area around Harold and Alice street (which is between 8th/9th and Dunn/grant) I tried my best to avoid it today but some glass punctured my front tire and tube. Broken glass seems to be very prevalent in the areas with IU students.
Pothole. Hard to see. Bad for bikes.
I am a parent of a student living at Union Street Center Apartments. I have been observing this area for some time and feel there is a safety risk for pedestrians crossing from a parking lot to the Apartments. I have addressed this with the University and they said this had been passed on to Bloomington official and I never heard back from the city. They said its not their property and the City of Bloomington would need to address. I have tried emailing another official and again have not heard back. The issue is N. Union Street needs 2 Crosswalks at each end of the parking lot, with Yellow Flashing Warning Signs in each direction. In addition, the lighting is poor in that area, again increasing the risk at night. The Risk Analysis would show there is a high risk of Severity, Frequency, and Probability for an accident in this area. Cars traveling from 10th street to 3rd as a cut through are traveling down hill and pick momentum or speed. I would be happy to discuss this issue with anyone who will listen, so we all fully understand the issue.
