Not a complaint! Thank you for letting fragmented eco-systems repair themselves. Letting living things grow and take back the areas that have been destroyed for sidewalks, side paths and trails. Animals, insects and plants are now taking back was destroyed. This truly is tree city USA.
Wanted to say thank you for prioritizing the morningside Greenway we found out at our last neighborhood meeting. Keep up the good work. So excited for safer and frankly more pleasant streets. Get er done!
No pedestrian or bike crossing to Sam's Club available.
The City needs to find a better way to keep the 7th Street bike path clear for cyclists. On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, around 9:25pm I was biking with a group of cyclists. We were headed east on 7th Street in the bike lane. As we crossed College and headed towards Walnut, every single cyclist had to exit the bike lane and ride in the lanes of traffic because a pickup truck was going in reverse down the bike lane. The truck had its white backup lights on and was moving from Walnut back towards College, fully in the bicycle lane blocking both lanes of bicycle travel. This is classic Bloomington infrastructure. Poorly designed, used incorrectly, and the people it is meant to benefit are no better off.
This incident occurred a couple of weeks ago but I thought the City should know about it to keep track of how many times the 7th Street bike lane is being used incorrectly. I was waiting on Morton headed north to turn west onto 7th. A car coming south on Morton and turning east onto 7th Street got into the intersection, hesitated out of apparent total confusion, then turned into the bike lane. there are no signs visible that help direct vehicular traffic into the correct lanes. There is just a random curb and some lane markings that are difficult to interpret for people unfamiliar with the situation there. I find the entire setup confusing when in a car and I think this is putting pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists at risk of accident and injury. The lack of stop signs is confusing. The lack of direction on what lane to use is confusing. We have a high turn over of residents and visitors here. Hoping people learn how to use 7th Street won't work because we will routinely have new people interacting with it for the first time. Signs could certainly help get people in the correct lanes.
Add bollards to bike lanes.
Missing bike route sign?
The light at the Olson Elementary crosswalk is turning red about every 60 seconds even when there are no pedestrians. It seems like it needs to be reset. Usually it only turns red when someone pushes the crosswalk button.
Hello. I'm writing about the East-West Greenway on Bloomington's east side. Biking toward Park Ridge East Park there is a hump and a curve in route. Great biking route but cars are a bit quick. I read there is some new traffic calming initiative? I don't know what that involves but if a Greenway improvement could happen with a bump in those two spots it would be amazing. I appreciated new humps are going into Park Ridge along the same route east of campus and Pete Ellis, so having that all the way through would be a big safety plus for us. Thank you.
With it getting dark earlier I have extra concerns with traffic speed in my neighborhood now while walking. Please prioritize residential traffic calming. Thank you.
