Hello, we live in Sherwood Oaks and there is not a safe way to get to the biking trail starting on Rhorer at Walnut Street Pike. People are often walking or biking up the last two blocks of Walnut Street Pike to reach that connection. It's not safe. We'd be so grateful if the sidewalk could be completed on the East Side of Walnut Street Pike between Rhorer and Heather Drive. This would allow people to access Kroger and the Rail Trail more safely. Other wishlist items are paving the rail-trail that connects the B-Line and Clear Creek Trail,and extending sidewalks along Rhorer all the way from Walnut Street Pike to Sare (or at least to Benson). It would also be nice if the sidewalk along the East Side of Walnut Street Pike extended all the way from Rhorer to Winslow, but finishing a sidewalk on the E or W side of Walnut Street Pike between E. Heather and Rhorer is really essential to pedestrian and biker safety. We love all of the investments we're seeing Bloomington making in parks, recreation and infrastructure. We really value this as a family with young children. We're just surprised how patchy the sidewalks surrounding our neighborhood are, with some suddenly stopping (Walnut Street Pike + Rhorer) and others reworked only to a certain point (example biking from Winslow Plaza east to Highland or Allendale is challenging). This makes it difficult to access all of the new paved biking/walking trails that connect to the Rail Trail and B-Line. We hope that COVID-19 does not make continued investments in sidewalks and walking paths impossible. Sincerely, Andrea Nikolova and Dimitar Nikolov 1044 E Jennifer Dr

I have speeding cars using my street (East Park Lane) as a shortcut from/to Smith Rd to 3rd St/Pete Ellis. This will only get worse when the new IU hospital opens. We have new families with children walking and biking this street. There isn't a sidewalk and this isn't about the amount of traffic. It is a road psychology issue. An example: delivery and lawn-care trucks w/trailers use out street to avoid the speedbumps on Morningside and Longview. Thank you for your attention.

The stop sign at Allendale & Bainbridge is constantly driven thru without cars stopping. It’s frightening when we have so many kids in the neighborhood, & it is a school bus stop. With school starting again, it’s a concern. I’ve seen numerous cars just whip around a school bus there without hardly slowing down. I also think it would be really helpful to have speed bumps on Eeliston Dr., on the way to the park. We have so many pedestrians on the street, and no sidewalk.

The intersection of Burks Drive and Walnut Street needs to be crossed by pedestrians and cyclists fairly often, but there is lots of high speed traffic on that road. Pedestrians coming from the residential areas around Burks have no way to safely cross Walnut Street. The sidewalk on the east side of walnut is currently closed, but it is missing several sections even when it is open, so you can't even walk along Walnut to the crossing at Rhorer Road. This problem will be exacerbated by the new library branch. Residents east of Walnut will have no way to safely and easily reach the library except by car. There needs to be a light and crosswalk of some sort installed so that it is passable.

I wanted to propose the addition of a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of N Fess Ave and E 10th St. I live in Collins, and when walking between Hillcrest and the general courtyard buildings there are no immediate crosswalks in the area. The addition of white lines, particularly on the west end of this intersection (where there is already a metal grate where the sidewalk meets the road) would be very helpful for residents of Collins and would make the area safer for pedestrians trying to cross the street.

'Gutter Cleaning sign on S Pete Ellis Drive at the corner where McDonald's is. It is up to you to decide if this is ROW or not. It is very close to the sidewalk.

This is an Elevate Schneider Geospatial map screen shot of the 503 S High Street property, the CC Church. As the red line indicates, the city owns part of the grass along the sidewalk. Too bad you allow only one picture per Request. I think the Daycare sign there is on city property. I am glad you are talking to them about the way they are putting up signs all over town, preferably in shopping center parking lots, where no one will touch them.

"CCC Preschool" advertising sign right next to the sidewalk, possibly in the ROW, at the CCC church, on High Street.

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.
