Biking & Walking

800 E 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA

Case Date:
9/1/2022

Be advised that bicyclist and scooterists are subjected to extremely dangerous riding conditions while using the 3rd street bike lane (traveling West between Eagleson Ave & Indiana Ave). Both the signage and the enforcement for this area are inadequate resulting in vehicles generally disregarding the bicycle right-of-way in the bike lane. Bicyclists must either come to a sudden and complete stop to avoid colliding with vehicles parked in the bike lane, or risk traveling into busy vehicle lane traffic to swerve around parked vehicles. I experience this problem happening almost every day while riding in this bike lane, and the individuals who are parking in the bike lane are generally resistant when I ask them to move out of the bike lane. A long term strategy that should be implemented as soon as possible would be to construct a raised curb and/or visibility bars along the shared edge of the bike lane/vehicular lane. This can easily be designed to accommodate the busses and university vehicles that need to pull to the bus stops or onto the sidewalk by including strategic gaps. This should ideally be done before a vehicle and bicycle immanently collide resulting in injury or worse. I have tried reaching out to various city and university departments, so I trust that you will consider this ticket or ensure that it is taken seriously and responded to by the relevant department.

Sidewalk Requests

2000 E 2nd ST

Case Date:

It is great to see that Public Works is currently installing ADA-compliant ramps between E 2nd Street and High Street. Is it also part of ADA compliance to complete the missing sidewalk to the west of 2000 E 2nd St?

Will the improvements to E 2nd Street include installing sidewalk to fill the gap between 1935 E 2nd and 2000 E 2nd Street? This gap is a barrier to accessibility for pedestrians on this street.

Sidewalk Requests

2435 E Cathcart ST

Case Date:
7/20/2022

We live in Renwick neighborhood. A house was built on 2435 Cathcart St. The sidewalk needs connected or installed from 2435 Cathcart St. to 2425 Cathcart St. There is a green space between the two homes and the sidewalk needs to be completed for safety reasons. When walking on the sidewalk, it ends and you have to go out in the street. The sidewalk needs to be installed so it continues.

Sidewalk Requests

3850 S Walnut Street PIKE

Case Date:
6/10/2022

On the east side of S. Walnut Pike north of Rhorer Rd there is no sidewalk between the newly installed county walk (as part of the intersection improvement) and the Peppergrass development. The bank along the road in the area is steep requiring one to walk in the street where the visibility is not great.

Street & Traffic Signs

Case Date:
6/3/2022

For a major chunk, the new pedestrian sidewalks included in the road for the new hospital suddenly ends. Walkers living at the many apartments south on Pete Ellis Dr have to walk in the street as cars and trucks and ambulences drive fast, not looking for walkers in the road, zipping by on their way home to or from the hospital or cutting around to avoid ByPass problems. The sidewalk space must be IU property. They neglected to finish the walk that so many of us need.

Cross Walk on 10th Street in front of Kelley. The city and IU buses use the bus lanes in front of the library, past the crosswalk. The private apartment buses have turned the crosswalk into a bus stop. The students wait there. A bus pulls up, stops to load/unload. Pedestrians wanting to cross are blocked and back up. East-bound cars are backed up. The bus will sometimes wait if they see one of their clients coming down the sidewalk. Stops range from 15 sec to 45 seconds. Once the bus moves, the pedestrian backlog has to get across. The walkway, while necessary, is obviously a bottleneck. Having a private bus stop and block it for no reason only adds to the problem. Make the private buses (and their riders) walk up to the bus pull off lanes like everyone else. The back up on 10th street is already at a failing level. There is no reason to let private apartment transit buses make it worse.
