Excessive vegetation growth is impeding sidewalk access.
Excessive vegetation growth is impeding sidewalk access.
Hello. I'm writing about the East-West Greenway on Bloomington's east side. Biking toward Park Ridge East Park there is a hump and a curve in route. Great biking route but cars are a bit quick. I read there is some new traffic calming initiative? I don't know what that involves but if a Greenway improvement could happen with a bump in those two spots it would be amazing. I appreciated new humps are going into Park Ridge along the same route east of campus and Pete Ellis, so having that all the way through would be a big safety plus for us. Thank you.
With it getting dark earlier I have extra concerns with traffic speed in my neighborhood now while walking. Please prioritize residential traffic calming. Thank you.
Debris, sand, gravel in both W 3rd bike lanes. Some parts are worse than others but the entire stretch from adams to I69 is a mess
The sidewalk and bike lane (especially) are in need of repair. It is difficult and dangerous to bike with so many holes, loose gravel and uneven surfaces on N. Smith Road between Morningside and 10th Streets, Bloomington.
Our family frequently walks from Park Ridge Park to Park Ridge East Park, crossing at Morningside and Smith. It NEVER feels safe to do so there. Cars on N Smith zoom through at times without slowing and rush you even if they do temporarily pause. We had another close call today. Please enhance this intersection for both pedestrian and bicycle (our family does both here) safety. For an intended crossing, the Smith cars assume they have a bigger more important road and don't pay attention to the signs. Maybe a flasher, more prominent crosswalk sign planted or painted, just something please. It's like this every time and has been for years.

Please be aware that there is no bike/side path on College Mall from Moores Pike to 1116 S College Mall rd. as shown on the bike map produced(?)/provided by the city. Some of this could have been addressed with the new intersection layout at Moores Pike & Sare Rd/College Mall Rd. Yes, there still would have been a gap but minor compared to now and perhaps save future reconstruction of part of intersection.
The path along Rogers Rd just east of the roundabout is restricted by a lot of leaf debris that is slick when wet and narrows the usable portion of the path.
In front of Hopscotch along the B-Line Trail at Morton and Dodds. The 4th and 5th bike rack posts down from the north side of the rack are very loose. The 4th one seems like it could be lifted out of the ground. It would be nice and more secure if these could be fixed. The entire rack should be assessed too.
