The lack of 4 way stops on 7th near Dunn is a severe hazard, resulting in several accidents. This is an extreme hazard for cyclists. Can someone from the city pedestrian and bicycle commission contact me about it. I would like to add it to the agenda at the next meeting in November.
There is a walk way from Cascades Addition from near 651 Skyline Drive that goes into the Arlington Elementary School yard. I have tried but never have been able to find out who (school or city) is responsible for it. I think the school has cleared it out every year before school starts. Children from the neighborhood walk to school that way and people walk to Kroger or to the walking path and frisbee golf course at Arlington. Right now it is really overgrown and some people have come racing their bicycles and scooters out of it and almost hit us twice (they were young adults). There used to be posts on it so no one could do that or try to drive on it! Picture is From Skyline Dr. looking up (see cut off post). I think the posts need to be put back up and it definitely needs to be cleared on both sides of path from overgrowth.
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.
Side walk completely covered by bush. Must walk into the street to pass. House Faces Kirkwood directly next to Rose hill cemetery. Directly behind Bloomington parks and red house.
Handicap parking spot should be on the south side of the ramp instead of further away from the building entrance.
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?
People speed out of RCA Park (and this has happened after criminal activity as well), so can traffic calming devices such as speed bumps please be considered?
