My name is Jillian Rich and I am a business owner along SR 46 / E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. This is a request for a new sidewalk. I have requested this from INDOT multiple times over the past several years with no result. INDOT has told me that the city could fund a sidewalk at this location so I am reaching out to make that request. This is the sidewalk gap on the north side of SR 46 / E 3rd St in Bloomington between Smith and Park Ridge Rd. My business happens to be located along a section of the roadway with no sidewalk on my side of the road. As far as I can tell, this is the only missing sidewalk along the entire section of SR 46 in Bloomington. My business is located in an urban area along this busy roadway, and the lack of sidewalk at this location presents serious safety concerns. Myself, my staff members, and my clients are forced to walk either in the bike lane, the drainage gutter, or the grass along the road. Because my business works with dogs, we are often walking dogs along the road. Some of the neighbors get upset when we walk in state right of way adjacent to their properties, so we are forced into the busy roadway. I have a fully blind staff member with a guide dog, and because of this lack of sidewalk, they are cut off from being able to walk the dogs in this area and unable to perform as many tasks as they are capable of. Often, we try to avoid walking by driving the dogs down to where there is sidewalk, but this is not always practical or worth the time. This is a very short section of missing sidewalk and would be well worth the cost to complete, and would benefit not only my business but the rest of the community greatly. Please consider prioritizing this location for a sidewalk and finishing up the final missing piece along E 3rd St / SR 46 in Bloomington. This is desperately needed. Thank you for the consideration.

The sidewalks adjacent to Btown Smoke Time were never cleared. This is utterly shameful, especially in the heart of downtown – an area of high pedestrian traffic. The photo was taken on January 29, 2026 at 1:15 PM – four days after the end of the snowstorm.

Sidewalk ends at my property (4151) and west to Smith road. Unsafe for pedestrians to be in the "walking" or "bike path" on this road. Unsafe for drivers. Suggest you put sidewalk in on my side, and return the road lanes out here to 4 instead of 2. There are too many wrecks coming in right over this hill because of traffic coming east off 46 into town and over this hill and it is always backed up from light at smith road. Picture of wreck this AM attached.

There's no sidewalk here, which means I can't walk - or even bike - my kid to school this way.

There is no sidewalk connecting us to Acuff for adults and kids to walk on safely. With traffic increasing due to the development behind us, we’d like to request sidewalks please.

There is no sidewalk on the south side of the street from the intersection down the block. Children walk home from the boys and girls club down the street and it would be safer if there were a sidewalk. Thank you.
