This issue concerns the new double bike lane on 7th Street (especially near the 2-way intersection of Kirkwood Avenue and Dunn Meadow). Since this bike lane is so new and it is big enough for two lanes of bike traffic, I have repeatedly seen cars mistakenly turning down the bike lane. As you can imagine, this is extremely dangerous to both drivers and cyclists. Last week there was a bike sign at the intersection which cut down on driver confusion. However, as of this morning, the sign is not there and I saw yet another driver make this mistake and turn down the bike lanes. I would suggest that the bike sign be permanently installed to help prevent this problem in the future. I greatly appreciate your help! I've seen this mistake happen at least half a dozen time since IU classes started.

cars are treating the two lanes both as eastbound through lanes making it an interesting conflict with bikes. signs on the pavement still indicate through or turn.

I have been seeing many people on bicycles acting dangerously at this intersection. Biking in between lanes of cars and disregarding the stop sign and pedestrians.

The sidewalk closed signs have been removed from the new pathway on High Street, yet the new driveways that were poured are several inches higher than the pathway. This is a significant hazard for pedestrians, and bikers.

Trail parallel to train tracks, from bypass to parkridge east neighborhood is very overgrown. This a problem every year!! Should be cut at least a few times a year. I witnessed a trail user conflict last evening, otherwise i probs would not have bothered with this report.

The bike lanes on North Smith Road are crumbling and are more dangerous to use than the car lanes. It would be really nice to see an extension of the sidewalk to incorporate and combine the existing bike lanes, so the sidewalks are wider, and the vehicle lanes feel narrower, which might help reduce traffic speeds through the winding/hilly residential area and make the path feel safer to bikers and pedestrians.

thanks for cutting back the "wall" of growth on polly grimshaw trail. "Ceiling" branches still hang very low and should also be cut back, also the "corner" of the "floor" and "wall" have left-overs that still block trail in places. probably needs a "best practice" redo. thanks in advance.

Can someone help explain to me the proper procedure for the dotted bike lane? I was driving east on 7th street approaching Jefferson when a bicyclist approaching me from behind me starting screaming at me to get out of the bike lane. As I proceeded to merge into the middle of the road he continued to scream at me to get out of his way and called me a "stupid bitch". After he passed me in the bike lane he proceeded to ride straight through the stop sign. I was maintaining my lane of travel approaching a stop sign in case a car/bicycle/truck/bus was going to enter towards me. I'm just a little confused about right of way and what is expected of me whether traveling by car or bicycle on this part of East 7th street. I have never encountered dotted lines on either side of the roadway anywhere else in this city or any other city. *there is no option under which I am reporting, just to be clear I am reporting a bicyclist being aggressive, rude, and using obscene language when I was maintaining my own lane of travel.
