Allen st greenway.
Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation.
The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists.
The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists.
Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city.
Thanks!

There is a high need for a crosswalk and a traffic light at the Liberty drive entrance/exit into the area located at 2088 S Liberty Drive. An adult high school, The Excel Center, is opening in this location. Turning left onto Liberty is very dangerous at this spot as cards are often going quite fast around a curved road. As the director of the school, I am requesting a traffic light and cross walk at this area. Thank you!

Topic: West 16th, Hancock Dr., and West 15th section through/beside Crestmont Park.
This is a beautiful, and I believe under-appreciated stretch of street. Quiet, park setting with trees. However, there is one problem - the road is extremely narrow. Too narrow. If a car is coming one way and encounters a car coming the other way, one has to stop and pull half-way off the road for the other to get by. This is particularly problematic because the blacktop drops off several inches right at the edge and the soil at the edge is often washed out in certain areas. Another issue is that some drivers drive entirely too fast through here and then cut the corner at the bottom of the hill too tightly - this has practically run me off the road in the past.
I don't wish to suggest that this section of street be widened. That would ruin its park-like atmosphere. What I would like to suggest is this: Starting at Lindbergh, W. 15th, Hancock, and W. 16th up to Monroe St be made one-way westbound. Then, the section of Lindbergh between W. 15th and W. 17th be switched to one-way northbound once 17th is reopened. I don't think that much traffic normally comes up Lindbergh where it would create that much more traffic on W.16th, etc. Perhaps put down counters to check, but it would cut out the traffic from one way and make the road more safe.
Even if none of this is pursued, one thing that is definitely needed are "SLOW" signs and "PARK" signs. There may be a sign marking that there is a ninety-degree curve does in the bottom, but if not, there needs to be one of those too.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you will give this some consideration - at least definitely the part about the signs.

We have seen increased instances of deer being hit by cars behind our home (1519 Bradshire) at Winslow and S. Xavier Ct. in the last year and would like signage posted to alert drivers that there is a wildlife hazard. We commonly observe afternoon eastbound drivers failing to stop at the stop sign at Winslow and Allendale and speeding down the hill toward Xavier Ct. where they regularly encounter wildlife. The greenway just east of Xavier Ct. is a common crossing point for deer, coyotes, foxes and other wildlife. For the protection of the drivers, the many children who live in the area, and the wildlife, we request that signage be posted. We would also be glad to see increased monitoring of the stop sign at Winslow and Allendale.
Thank you.

There is a raised sidewalk on Moores Pike between S. Clarizz Blvd. and S. Fenbrook Ln. The sidewalk is raised about 3 feet above street level and there is no rail between the sidewalk and the road. It's dangerous to walk along the sidewalk especially if you're using a stroller.

Union needs left turn signals at 10th. Step it up. Only in Bloomington are traffic backups sought. Multiprong transportation can work. I'm not voting for a late expansion or speed enhancement, simply reasonable slow flow on 10th
