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.

When stopped on Adam Hill St to make a right or left hand turn on Country Side you can not see oncoming traffic because of tree foliage. I request that the trees on Country Side street be trimmed to allow motorist to see oncoming traffic. This intersection is in a school zone.

Hello! I live just off of the intersection of 5th Street and Bryan Avenue, right next to the IU Raintree House. I've noticed that one of the stop signs at the four way stop is missing, the post and all. I've seen people driving right through without stopping, and then realized that the sign was completely gone. It is the stop sign on the north east side of the intersection. Just wanted to let somebody know. Thank you for your help!

Tall metal tower behind house (radio tower?) appears to be old, and the bottom of the tower is overgrown with vegetation. It's an eyesore at best and probably a hazard.

There needs to be a pedistrian crossing at the corner of Union and 5th. It is often dangerous to cross there.

I am writing to ask when I will ever be able to park my car near my house again. I live at 1416 S Monon Dr and all street parking has been outlawed pending road work that seems to have moved North onto Walnut St. A flyer was circulated at the beginning of May stating that the work would conclude before June. It has now been two months that no one on my street has been able to park at their home. Unloading groceries, entertaining guests, and transporting garden items have all been difficult or impossible because of the parking embargo. I have a motorcycle in storage that I can't take out because there is nowhere I can safely park it near my residence. Is there an end in sight? Should I just leave the motorcycle in until next summer? Obviously if the tentative end date is as illusory as the June deadline just don't tell me because that will be more infuriating than just hoping to wake up one day on a street not ravaged by smashers and cement trucks.

The west entrance to the shopping center that contains Staples and Barnes and Noble from Pete Ellis Drive is in terrible shape again. I understand that it is hard to keep this intersection smooth due to the different elevations of the two streets at this entrance, but the potholes are back and are capable of vehicle damage. The damaged area is right where the entrance road begins and Pete Ellis Drive crosses. Thank you for your prompt and excellent responses to my reports.
