In the transition from Longview Ave. to E. 7th St., the asphalt multi-use lane turns into a double-wide cement sidewalk. I've always stayed on the path because it links directly to the underpass at the bridge and seems and extension of the bike path. But today someone told me, "Get off the sidewalk idiot!" I pride myself on following the rules of bicycling. AQm I right or wrong to be using that stretch of cement? Also, Smith Road between 3rd St. and Moore's Pike is a disaster for bicyclists--way too narrow to safely bike on the road, but only a cement sidewalk on the west side, which then vanishes to become a multi-use path on the WEST side of the road, which then vanishes again at the corner of Moore's Pike to become a sidewalk traveling west. How can my kids safely ride their bikes down Smith Road!?

1. Many of our faculty, staff and students (as well as others) have to cross 10th street to get to their parking lots behind Geology or the Fee Lane garage. Although there is a pedestrian crossing, most cars do not stop and it is difficult to cross. Also, when the buses are stopped, cars often pass on the left and come very close to hitting us. This has happened to me and many others many times. I was almost hit again yesterday. I believe that if the zone was better marked on the road or around the road and/or had flashing lights like some others around the campus, cars would be more prone to slow down and respect the rules. Last year, I contacted the IU Police Dept. who informed me that the street belonged to the city of Bloomington and that they would mention it to them. However, I never heard another word from them and the zone remains dangerous. Is there something that the school can do before someone gets seriously injured? We would all be very grateful

Why have long stretches of the road on S. Washington now unavailable for parking? If this is a new standard, will this be done city wide?

The intersection of 14th and Indiana is very dangerous. If heading west on 14th street the incline of Indiana in combination with the parked cars along Indiana causes for you to not be able to see if it is safe to cross. I believe that a 4 way stop on the corner of Indiana and 14th is needed. I personally have seen many near accidents as I am a resident of this area and have almost gotten into an accident myself due to not being able to see traffic driving south on Indiana. Feel free to contact me about more information. As a student, I do not want to see other students become injured due to blocked line of view.

The intersection of Moore's Pike and Smith Road is dangerous coming towards the intersection going north on Smith Road. There needs to be a stop ahead sign put out. During Winter we have cars drive into our front yard close to our house from having to slam on breaks to avoid a collision.

Turning left from 11th street to North Walnut. In order to see the south to north traffic on North Walnut it is necessary to edge out into North Walnut in order to see traffic. Cars that are turning left can usually get around your car if you are turning left, however, today a city bus was turning left, there was a car behind me, so I couldn't back up, I tried to move to the right but that didn't work but finally I did back up so he was able to get around me. Therefore, something needs to be done to improve the visibility of the traffic at that corner.

Please, reading about Bloomington traffic, we are SO SLOW HERE (though need to obey lights better) so do not slow further. Can absolutely slow neighborhoods but the entire city shouldn't be neighborhood. There is essentially no E/W route. Traffic is worse for a town this size than any I have ever visited (have visited many). Thanks! We need real roads. Can grid some slow places but need more arterials.
