Near the power substation on Rogers across the street from Switchyard Park the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers is covered in gravel. The gravel runs the length of the substation north to south and needs to be swept up This is dangerous. As part of the B-Line detour, this should be deemed unacceptable for the City to allow for such unsafe conditions.
I think the Limestone Greenway is a wonderful addition to our Trails. However, I think it needs at least one trash receptacle. Otherwise, it will get trashed.
The attached photo shows the detour for the B-Line Trail (closed for Switchyard construction) around 11am today. I had to carry my bike across the void. I am concerned that someone with accessibility issues who cannot lift their bike, or is in a wheelchair, would not be able to get by. The sidewalk on the opposite side of the road is closed as well. This is the west side of Rogers just north of the Rockport intersection. I do not see how this is allowed to happen.
The lack of shoulders on the roads is a serious problem in Bloomington. I have lived in a number of cities across the US and Bloomington is the first city I've seen that has very few (if any?) shoulders on the roads. This is unbelievably problematic - if someone has car trouble they can't pull off to the side, if you are dropping someone off you can't just pull off to the side, if I receive a phone call I can't pull over, if riding a bicycle you can't ride along the side.... there are a fair number (surely more than is acceptable) of bike and scooter accidents in Bloomington, and this can largely be attributed to lack of shoulders on roads.
As the city refuses to put a light at the entrance of Blue Ride and N. Walnut you need to lower the speed limit starting at the light at Cascades. When turning left out of the neighborhood it is somewhat blind, so you can often pull out and a car comes right up on you. The speed limit on Tapp from 37 is much lower with no business or a neighborhood.
I reported this previously and I received a response that all signs are clearly marked (apparently not). The signs indicating "One Way" on the corner of E 6th and Grant, and for that matter, at any intersection on E 6th Street, are not sufficient. There need to be *large* signs indicating DO NOT ENTER to vehicles attempting to turn left onto E 6th from two-way roads that run perpendicular (i.e. Grant, Lincoln). The current signage is not sufficient. Please fix this before a pedestrian or a driver is seriously injured.
I am writing to request a 4 way stop sign at a very dangerous to pedestrians and drivers crossstreets on picture attached. Although there is a yield for one side of incoming traffic, I oftentimes find myself having to hit the breaks at a quick turn here onto incoming traffic, even if you have the right of way. I live in this neighborhood and drive under this bridge/on the curb every day, several times a day. It’s a safety issue that I’m surprised hasn’t been looked into. I’m happy to do anything else to push forward an evaluation and get some stop signs placed here. Thank you! Ruth Vaca
Requesting road improvements to North smith or Morningside deterrent. Traffic at end of business day constantly goes through Morningside lots and quickly due to smith backup.
The mess today with the fire is just a small sample of what will happen when Smith is closed this is going to be insane
Painted lane markers, pavement turn arrows, need improvement at the intersection of Moore’s Pike, Sare, College Mall. In particular the College Mall south bound lanes needs indicators that specify the right lane as being a Right turn only lane; often times traffic continues straight. Also, could that same lane be allowed to have a right on red after a complete stop? I understand the ‘complete stop’ will be the most difficult portion for us regulars.
