Hi - I feel like the city needs to issue a warning to cyclists to take extra precautions when locking up their bike. On Monday around 11am, my $1200 bike was stripped of all of its parts that were not locked to the bike rack. This happened right outside my office in a somewhat busy parking lot, in downtown Bloomington, in broad daylight. From the security footage it took the person about 20 minutes. A police report was filed and the officer mentioned he'd seen similar cases recently. After posting about this on social media, I've now heard numerous cases of bikes either being stripped completely or partially during the day at various spots downtown over the past couple weeks. Had there been any media or warnings issued, I would have certainly brought my bike into my office, rather than risk losing most of it. I realize it's just a possession (and not a life) and can be replaced, but given that this seems to be a growing trend, a warning and increased awareness would be helpful.

I wasn't sure what category to put this in... do city employees know that the B-Line is a pedestrian and bike path? Because a city truck (actual full sized truck, not a parks gator) was just driving north on the b-line (i saw near Dodds). I figured it was a student or freshman parent and was going to stop them and then it ended up being a city vehicle. It was definitely on purpose because she had the opportunity to turn onto Dodds. Can even our B-Line not be safe from cars?

Question: Is there a chance to have more gravel spread on the red clay dirt prior to the bike path? It's been okay with the dry summer, but it is impossible to pass from Tapp. to the bike path when muddy with the rains. Thank you for this consideration. My alternate route is biking up Tapp to 37S. As you are aware, Tapp, under construction is also less than ideal.

There are large amounts of broken glass in the road in the area around Harold and Alice street (which is between 8th/9th and Dunn/grant) I tried my best to avoid it today but some glass punctured my front tire and tube. Broken glass seems to be very prevalent in the areas with IU students.
