I am very concerned about the cross walks on the B-line trail downtown. Cars are not stopping/yielding to people who are crossing. I was almost hit 3 times this week! And, I saw someone else almost get hit. Drivers of cars are not seeing the small sign that says yield State law that is posted in the middle of the cross walks. Can the city put in yield signs on the left of the crosswalks. We need more signage. It is very scary and I would not want anyone to get hurt. I know it is busy since students are back in town, but still people are not stopping and the city should make the signs more visible!
Please replace the lights in the bike tunnel that goes under Bypass 46 and 7th street. I've received a report of someone being assaulting while they were on their bike.
Light #140 on B-line flashing
There are no tree grates in front of the graduate. They are all trip hazards and not ADA compliant. Please have them install grates
The pedestrian paths leading to the pedestrian tunnel under the 45-46 bypass are icy and hazardous. This is the case both westbound and eastbound. I saw another pedestrian fall on the eastbound approach. I was carrying a heavy load of groceries, and I consider myself lucky that I didn't fall. Bloomington, please do better by us.
This ice must be taken care of. This is a major safety issue. Who is responsible for this?? For a portion of a major city greenway to be neglected like this is unforgivable! If anyone who works for the city sat in a chair today, give them a shovel and a bag of salt and tell them to get out there until this liability is dealt with!
Bicycle parking is never good for the Saturday Farmer's Market, but today it was exceptionally problematic. When I first arrived I was able to lock my trike but when I had trouble accessing my lock and when I did get to it two helpful young men assisted by lifting my trike to free it from the pile. I am 75 years old. This was hard. My trike is ADA compliant but it is not compact. I don't take it into the market, but my walking ability is limited so don't tell me about the bike racks that are blocks away from the market. Please do better with bike parking convenient to the market
Tree branches overhang 9th St. sidewalk at Butler Park hanging lower than five feet--impassable without ducking or leaving sidewalk--very difficult for elderly pedestrians. Hard to understand why the city is issuing citations for minor aesthetic violations when their own property has significant issues with accessibility, unmowed grass, and poison ivy next to walkways. Come on, Bloomington. Stop empowering harassment and instead prioritize violations that actually impede safety and access.
Completely dead, large street tree on 11th Street side of property.
