In the Westpointe subdivision, the sidewalk on the East side of Larkspur has never been completed.
Also the sidewalk on the East side of Adams has not been completed to connect to the walk near the Youth Services building. When can we expect to have completed sidewalks in our neighborhood. We’ve been here 30 years and they’ve never been finished. Thank you?

There is not continuous sidewalk on Adams from Allen to 2nd street causing pedestrians to have to walk in the road in an unprotected area. On the East side of the road it literally ends in a wooded area and people have made a foot path from the end of the sidewalk, through the woods, to the road. On the West side of the road the sidewalk goes from 2nd south about a half a block and then just ends. This needs to taken care of by the city.

The sidewalk / side path that runs through the South East park near the tennis courts is substantially below grade of the adjacent Moores Pike roadway. I walk through here on a daily basis, often with small children, and it feels a bit dangerous when cars are zooming by. Has the city considered a guardrail or other physical separation here?

To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light.
The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite.
A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.

Trees need cut back overhanging sidewalk on E Moores Pike between N Smith and S Fenbrook lane. Please tell homeowners or association (as might have one) to clear the sidewalk. Street is too dangerous for wheelchair, bike, walking, and such. Thanks.

The did sidewalk that runs along the East side S Adams St north of Woodhill Dr is like a jungle. It is not kept clear AND is does not connect to the
new path in front of the Youth Shelter. If you walk this sidewalk it is dangerous to pop out on Adam's from the dense woodsy area to walk in the road because the sidewalk isn’t completed.
