Traffic Related Complaints

1009-1031 East 3rd Street

Case Date:

Cars routinely stop or stand in the bike lane on Third Street anywhere between Jordan and Indiana Avenues. This forces bikes into the "car" travel lanes and makes a dangerous situation for everyone--all at the cost of inconsiderate, and frankly lazy, motorists who are waiting to pick up friends from class. Bloomington and IU Parking Enforcement is unable to do anything about this epidemic since these vehicles are not actually "parked," but instead standing or stopped. IUPD and BPD don't do anything about it because I'm sure there are more important things going on out there that deserve their attention. The presence of some physical barriers or police enforcement would be effectively in keeping cars out of the bike lanes. Vince Carristo emailed me about a year ago stating that the City was looking into physical barriers, but I haven't seen anything deployed. Thanks for your help. Without doing something about cars standing in the bike lanes, Third Street isn't really a viable bicycle route--at least during the day on weekdays.

Biking & Walking

100-182 North College Avenue

Case Date:

Hello, I am writing in concern of the spray painted orange bikes popping up around the city, especially regarding the square. These are a part of a marketing strategy for the new fitness gym around the College Mall, Orange Theory. My concern is that the locked bikes are taking the spaces on bike racks that could be used for commuters and patrons in particularly convenient and high-traffic areas. This includes bike racks around the square, in front of Yogi's, and there was even one locked to a pole around the Scholar's Inn Bakehouse on 3rd (which seems like another issue). I am hoping the city can possibly speak with Orange Theory about the placement of their marketing devices.

Biking & Walking

Case Date:
5/30/2018

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?

Re case # 164723 (Supposedly resoled) Grass has been cut. Absolutely correct. But how about the E First sidewalk towards Rose? I do not see any improvement there. Low-hanging branches hitting me in the face and arms. Also, another problem has arisen: corner of Eastside and E First: long vegetation is starting to impair the view to the left where cars may be coming out of nothing from E First.
