Residents of 517 W Howe St refuse to stop parking on the sidewalk
The new construction has contributed significant debris to the east-bound bike lane. This occurs with many of our development projects: when the apartments on N. College just north of the railway overpass were being constructed, the muddy (erosive) runoff and rocks were obliterating the bike lane. And during the recent downtown construction of ONB, the bike lane was full of rocks and crud. The debris remains on the north side of 4th, between Lincoln and Grant, at the alleyway cut.
This heavily used biker/walker commuter path from Morton onto the b-line gets blocked with snow everytime it's plowed, but it would be easy for the plow drivers to leave a bike/walk pathway so we don't have to carry our bikes over the snow several times a day.
Hi, W 3rd just before Roselawn cemetary, there is an alley that leads to 4th St. It would be great to have a sign that faces W with a bike on it pointing toward 4th St. It would help bicyclists coming from Patterson addition and the soon-to-be affordable project at Walker, cycle on 4th St to town and IU rather than going the wrong way on 3rd Street. Thanks for this ureport.
Street light along Madison between 3rd and 4th is flickering and has been for the past week
There is a pile of sand at S Morton and W 2nd St that is dangerous to bike riders. I skidded through it and almost fell off my bike. Could you please send a street-sweeper to clean it up? Thanks.
Crosswalk sign at 2nd and Rogers is not working. It’s the north/south crosswalk on the west side. I waited through several cycles and it never gave me a walk signal. The East/west one on the south side did seem to be working.
The street in front of 725 has a defect that can be dangerous to a bicyclist who may be forced by a vehicle also traveling east on Howe.
Walking my dog on the Bline last night I encountered this person’s vehicle parked inappropriately. The driver was likely drinking cider or shooting pool. I wonder if it was backed nearly onto the trail or driven off 2nd and down the trail before pulling off.
