There are still no crosswalks across East Third at Third and Jordan. I was told last August that they would be installed (uReport case #160616). I learned that a friend has also reported this a couple of times over the past two years and been told that they would be installed. I'm beginning to doubt the city's sincerity on this matter.
This morning I was bike commuting to work when I had a near miss at the intersection of Smith Road and Morningside. A car on Smith Road going towards 10th St. did not give me the right of way. Luckily I never assume a car would give me the right of way at a stop intersection so I was able to stop in time. These events occur sometimes on my commute. However, I decided to contact you because the same happened yesterday, another car, another time of the day. Would it be possible to place extra signage in that area, e.g. Beware of bicycles and pedestrian?
Bike Lane on North College has debris under railroad trestle that blocks passage, forcing dangerous sudden merge into the automobile lane.
Lights 118 (Rogers and B-Line) and 149 (between Adams and Moravec Way) are not working.
low hanging tree branches and bushes blocking sidewalk. one branch looks dangerous.
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. <hschertz@indiana.edu> wrote: Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes.

Thanks, Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146 From: Adrian Reid <reida@bloomington.in.gov> Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 10:49 AM To: HSchertz <hschertz@indiana.edu> 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
Large branch on sidewalk/path
DO NOT MAKE MAJOR ARTERIES TWO WAY!!!!! That proposal is insane. The people that proposed it don't live here and clearly never have traveled Walnut and College when trucks are blocking two of the three lanes. Atwater and third also should not be changed as Third is a parade of buses and the only lane able to be traveled is the left one. I hope you don't pay the Toole people. Those suggestions are not feasible and will make going downtown something no one will do any more. Insanity!
I am very much opposed to the city considering a corridor from thoroughfare from Maple to 7th Street to Fairview Street to 17th Street. Fairview School is at the corner of Fairview and 7th. The safety of school children is more at risk. Fairview Street is very narrow with barely 2 cars being able to pass. My understanding is that 7th Street is also being considered as a green corridor welcoming more bicycling which I think is a good idea but contrary to the former proposed idea of making the corner of Fairview Street busier. Thank you.
There is a lot of weeds and bushes blocking the sight lines on the north side of the Clear Creek Trail as you are trying to cross Victor Pike tothe next segment of the trail. These tall weeds or bushes extend for 50 feet or more to the southwest along the road. My wife was nearly hit, right in front of me as we crossed the road. Between the bushes and thick trees it is difficult for bikers, walkers and cars to see eachother.
