When pressing the button to cross walking west across 3rd Street, cars turning right onto 3rd Street off of college avenue do not check for pedestrians and just gun it every time. The other issue is because the street is so wide, cars continue turning right onto college avenue off of 3rd Street as you're walking across and you have no idea if a big truck is in front of them. People also like to block the crosswalk with their vehicle on 3rd Street. Walking just a little further down, the same issue is common when trying to cross PLS drive and cars are continuously turning off of and onto PLS and 3rd Street without checking for pedestrians. I used to be a lot faster before my surgery, but they expect anyone walking to be quick and nimble and jump out of their way and back onto the sidewalk which can make you trip backwards and fall on your butt. I think that there is not enough to make drivers aware that there are pedestrians using that area as well even though there are buttons for crosswalks and painted lines on the road. Cars are only paying attention to the stoplights and other vehicles. I avoid this area whenever possible even though I used to love walking around the east side for exercise, doctor's appointments, and shopping. Some people even walk to the hospital. Not everyone using a crosswalk is a sports legend and I don't think that it's my responsibility to jump out of the way of fast moving cars after I've already started walking to cross the street after looking both left and right. Drivers need to understand that a pedestrian going west crossing 3rd Street cannot see vehicles coming behind them and turning right! I don't have eyes in the back of my head. There needs to be more bells whistles lights something to indicate to drivers that this is not safe.

Is it possible to have a crosswalk painted on 3rd at Rose? Today I saw a blind person trying to make the crossing. Per the email below, a few years ago, it seemed this was a possibility. Yes. There will be marked crosswalks on 3rd at Rose. On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Schertz, Hannah H. <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes. My concern is crossing 3rd at Rose as a pedestrian. Is there any chance of a crosswalk there? Thanks, Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146 From: Adrian Reid <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 10:49 AM To: HSchertz <[email protected]> Subject: uReport request Good morning, Thank you for your uReport request regarding Rose Avenue. At this point, the likelihood of a sidewalk on Rose Avenue is very low. You probably have noticed changes on 3rd Street as a result of the City's Greenways Implementation Plan, however. Rose Avenue in the segment you describe is designated as a neighborhood greenway as well. So you will see some additional signage and striping at the 3rd & Rose intersection if you haven't already. Thank you again for your uReport request. Thanks, Adrian

I dropped by car off yesterday at World Wide Auto, and was biking home (heading west) along the sidepath on the north side of Tapp Road. Somewhere between Deborah Drive and Weimer Road, there is a drive cut, and the sidepath has a sudden and difficult to see drop of about 8 inches to the ground. There is no warning of this drop, and I had quite a crash because of this. This needs to be corrected ASAP. Thanks!

This morning a landscaping crew on Jordan Ave. between 7th St. and the Jordan River was using leaf blowers to pile leaves in the south-bound bike lane blocking it. I did not see any signage indicating that the bike lane would be closed or any collection truck nearby that would have cleared the leaves. I'm concerned that this might be normal procedure to use the bike lane instead of the curb.
