1415 E 3rd ST

Case Date:
3/14/2018

I think it is now more than three years since there have been proper crosswalks for pedestrians crossing Third Street at the Jordan Avenue intersection. It is more than two years since the first time I wrote to inquire about it (March 2016). I was told then that it would be done in the summer of 2016. I wrote again in early 2017, and was told it would be done in the spring of 2017. A friend of mine wrote in the summer of 2017 and was told it would be done in the fall. What the heck is going on? After the recent work at Third and Woodscrest, new crosswalks appeared immediately. For it to take years at a corner where the pedestrian traffic is much higher seems truly unconscionable.

250 S Washington ST

Case Date:

There are regularly cars stopped/parked in the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd st's. Also further south between 3rd and 2nd st's. There is no signage saying cars can't park there, and there is certainly no enforcement of this law. I have hit cars, been hit by cars, been cussed at, yelled at and threatened by motorists parked in the bike lane here while I'm just trying to go home from work via bicycle. As a bicycle commuter who uses this bike lane 6 days/week, I would like to see some action taken to stop cars from parking/stopping/driving in the bike lane(s), especially here. I have a dozen or so photos with date and time of cars parked in the bike lane here that I can share if you'd like. Thank you

Referring to case #183807 (May 14, 2023): Query the status of the orange safety barrier on S High Street near the intersection of High and E Wimbleton, which has been there for ages and is an eyesore. Maybe it is time to remind Duke Energy that they are supposed to do the work they need to do, so that the barrier finally can be removed.

923 S Walnut ST

Case Date:

To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light. The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite. A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
