Sidewalk on west side of Lincoln, just north of 11th is below street grade and floods every time it rains.
There are several sidewalk cuts along Washington Street in front of the AT&T building that are covered with smooth metal pieces. These metal covers provide absolutely no traction when wet and are very dangerous for pedestrians. Can these please be replaced with the more common covers that have raised ridges to provide some traction?
There are two fairly large holes in the Washington Street bike lane between 8th and 9th streets.
Walnut street bike lane filled with debris. From around 10th street down towards 17th.
Dog poop not being picked up as people leave Bryan Park to head east home dowm Sheridan or Southdowns. Is there some signage or poop bag stand to let people know that the same rules apply as those that apply in the park when your dogs poop? I have stepped in many hidden piles under a dried leaf since November. I continue to find new piles every day when I walk my three dogs. I often pick up after my dogs and others who have left the poop behind on the grassy areas but even on the bike and walkway too. thanks
The North Washington Street bicycle lane from 12th to 10th street is significantly narrower than the 5 foot standard outlined in the City of Bloomington Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines document. In addition, vehicles parked along the west side of Washington street routinely occupy some portion of this bike lane, reducing the width even further. It seems to me that this stretch of road would be better suited for sharrow markings instead of the very narrow bike line that currently exists.
College Avenue bike lane filled with debris; especially bad starting around 14th street and proceeding underneath the train tracks.
It would be really great to see sidewalks and bike paths leading into University Elementary School. Right now the only option is walking alongside the edge of 10th street, hoping fast moving traffic doesn't hit you.
North of 4th on B-line, the east ballard is directly in the path of a typical northbound cyclist. It is about 3 feet too far west. Every other ballard on the B-line is to the side of the decorative arrow, but this one is directly in the path suggested by the arrow. It is hard to see at night and is surprising every time it is encountered at night. I have witnessed one cyclist collide with it and many close calls.
