This pedestrian intersection of the B-line and rogers NEEDS A STOP SIGN FOR TRAFFIC! I have been hit by a car here once already, and have been nearly hit several times after that, despite wearing high-vis safety gear and having 6 total lights(including in-rim wheel lights for side visablitiy). I see cars fly through this cross walk at full speed, everyday. I cycle to work every day as well, and often cross here. The angle at which the intersection happens makes it hard for cars to see if bikes or pedestrians are coming from certain directions. There are currently only 2 stop signs on the entire B-line trail where cars MUST stop for pedestrians(which is a clear safety oversight for a town claiming to be bike friendly), and this spot absolutely needs one as well. ALSO, speaking of stop signs on the B-line, you should place an undercover traffic cop at the intersection of the B-line and 7th where there is an actual stop sign, and you'll be ticketing every other person since they nearly all do rolling "stops" at this cross walk. I nearly got hit by a huge black SUV last week and had to yell at the dumb cunt driving who didn't stop at all and just drove right through the crosswalk with me rapidly approaching, all my lights on, high-vis motorcycle helmet and everything, she sees me and just keeps going... seriously, I have no doubt in my mind that if you had an officer watching that intersection they'd get their ticket quota in a day, easy. It's time Bloomington puts its money where its mouth is and does something about the safety of the B-line crosswalks.

The security fence set up to hinder people from crossing RR property at Dunn has been cut through and people are now walking across, even when the train is coming. This necessitates the train conductors to blow their horns loudly to clear the tracks at this location when they pass by (at all hours). When "The Standard" is full of 1000+ entitled undergraduates, they will likely all use this passage to make their lives easier. Who is actually responsible for maintaining the wall/fencing that blocks illegal and dangerous crossing of the tracks stretching from Walnut to Indiana Avenues? It was not so bad when Brownstone was still there, but since the beginning of the "Standard" construction project (that has been going on sporadically for two years now), the barrier has slowly degraded. Is this a matter for the police or the "Standard" property owners or the City or the adjacent property owners? We fear that there will be a high rate of late-night, drunken crossings coupled with the likely concomitant periodic deaths if something is not done about this. Does Bloomington rally want to continue to be known for a place that allows (encourages) dangerous and unhealthy behavior? It's bad enough that scooters are allowed (how many deaths have they caused so far?) - does the City now want there to be regular RR accidents that result in beheadings, or worse?
