I'm very excited to see the new High Street multi path finally being developed, however I do have 2 concerns about the project. First, access for our Sycamore Knolls neighborhood into the Jackson Creek Trail has been effectively cut off during construction, and there is really no safe way to bike to the trail with small children unless you ride on High Street. Better consideration should have been given to maintain pedestrian access after removing the existing sidewalk on High Street. Second, it is disappointing that the trail will end at Arden. It would have been nice to see in continue north for another half mile to Marilyn/Covenanter, and connect into the existing Covenanter Greenway. That would have greatly expanding access for the Southeast side of town towards the B-Line trail utilizing this existing greenway.

This recently completed trail along Rogers running towards the new path on High street is in need of some maintenance along the bridge area. There are 2 ADA issues that need to be addressed: 1. Encroaching vegetation has significantly narrowed the pathway making wheelchair travel difficult. 2. Encroaching vegetation has completely covered and made the handrail inaccessible. Can the vegetation here please be trimmed back to rectify these issues? Thanks!

High St and Wimbleton Ln (Inbound-Northbound), Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:

Will Milestone sod the recently added mounds of clay they added to the edges of the amended asphalt north of Wimbleton, or do they just expect the homeowners to try to establish new seed in the fourth week of October? They haven't seeded any of their patches of added clay, yet the drainage pattern will wash all of that new "soil" away in the next few weeks of rain. They found in vitally important to sod the easement along Arden, yet completely ignored the massive easements between Arden and Rock Creek Ct - watching them wash into the gutters and creek. And the whole area around Wimbleton is a drainage nightmare. This will come back and bite the city in the behind next flood season. Why do you hire these clowns? Are they related to Hamilton?

2101 S High ST

Case Date:

This tension wire is a hazard for cyclists and needs to be well lit for better visibility in the dark. Reflectors on the wire and along the bend in the path would also add to the safety. I am a 7th grade student at Jackson Creek Middle School. I ride my bike to school every day on the High St recreational path at around 7:30 am. It is dark at that time and I use lights on my bike. On Friday, Nov 5, I was biking down the hill towards this spot. I was going fast down this hill to have enough speed for the uphill right past this spot. Unfortunately, even with my bike light, the tension wire and the sudden bend in the path is hard to see in the dark. My shoulder hit the tension wire and knocked me off my bike. My bike had minor damage to the seat.

7th and Dunn and 7th and Indiana have become absolutely terrifying since the bike lanes were installed. The main issue is on 7th and Dunn St: without a four way stop, it is very dangerous to travel on Dunn St. people do not check for bikes/scooters in their right-away lane, which leads to countless near accidents. I live on Dunn, and it often takes nearly 5 minutes to get out of this intersection, due to the heavy traffic which comes from the Indiana and 7th intersection. I have witnessed major accidents at both of these intersections. At 7th and Indiana, the stop line (on 7th) is so far back that cars on Indiana street cannot see the stopped cars on 7th until they themselves are stopped. This leads to confusion/road rage from the cars on Indiana when they think those traveling on 7th didn’t come to a complete stop. 4 way stop sign should be reinstated on 7th and Dunn Intersection, and something needs to be done to improve vision on 7th and Indiana.

Starting the 7th Street Bikeway project is great. I hope we have lots of low-traffic thoroughfares in twon some day. But finish what you started on Allen Street. There is no signs, no flashing beacons, no paint. Nothing that designates the street a low and slow traffic area. Cars drive way faster now with the "improvements" then they did with the hodgepodge pilot. Put some signs up. Paint the street. Put some flashers at the Washington St intersection and the Henderson St intersection. Allen is not finished.

Three weeks ago, I was riding my bike west on 7th St in the bicycle lane as a car entered from Indiana Ave into the bike lane. I had to stop my bike and lift it over the curb to get around the car that was impeding both lanes of the bike lane. This is not my first experience with cars in the 7th St bike lane. Please install a post or bollard at the protected bicycle lane entrances to discourage cars from entering it. This is a simple, easy to install, and low cost solution. I don't understand why it wasn't installed in the first place.

If someone actually reads this – Please add an indicator/light to indicate to drivers that this is a one way. I have two videos in the last two weeks of someone going the wrong way on a 40 MPH road... If you want both of the videos email me. (N Walnut Street, Bloomington, IN 47404).

It is very difficult to see the westbound traffic when stopped on Highland going north and trying to turn onto 3rd street. The TIS building obstructs the view.
