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.
There is a house on Rogers street south of the gas station at the corner of rock port and Rogers on the left that has added a tiny house to their property. This is against zoning laws in Bloomington Indiana
Fauna overhanging sidewalk in 2 places at Laughing Planet. Blind pedestrian would hit head in branches
There is a pedestrian cross-walk here, but traffic often does not stop, creating a safety hazard for pedestrians (who have the right of way). I think Kirkwood needs to have some traffic calming, and a stop sign would be one way to slow traffic and protect pedestrians.
I have been seeing many people on bicycles acting dangerously at this intersection. Biking in between lanes of cars and disregarding the stop sign and pedestrians.
Worse than a scooter - cannot get by on sidewalk
Hi, has anyone made contact with Indiana Railroad about the issues at 10th and the Bypass crossing? I think they can do better.
Illegal signage. Owner notified but said they would keep doing it.
During the school drop-off and pickup this intersection has a large amount of traffic. This is also the main corridor that people biking and walking use to get to to school and unfortunately is was not design to be compatible with both large amounts of student driver traffic, and walkers and bikers. This whole intersection as well as the path going into the school needs to be redone to promote more biking among the youth(including me). A well done biking friendly intersection and route into school would improve the safety for walkers and bikers as well as encourage more young students to walk and bike to school which would decrease the amount of traffic as well as the carbon emissions.
