There should be a barrier between the Moose parking lot and Smith so that cars don't park in the road (causing bikes to exit their lane).
Curb blown apart, with exposed rebar.
EB lane of 10th approximately 20 yards E of Walnut. Hole.
The do not walk light on the southwest corner of this intersection facing north is out.
Another little electrical box has been kicked over, possibly broken, on one of the street trees. Not sure if this is a parks thing or utilities.
Lost my New Jersey license name is Jacob Berliner.
Cars routinely stop or stand in the bike lane on Third Street anywhere between Jordan and Indiana Avenues. This forces bikes into the "car" travel lanes and makes a dangerous situation for everyone--all at the cost of inconsiderate, and frankly lazy, motorists who are waiting to pick up friends from class. Bloomington and IU Parking Enforcement is unable to do anything about this epidemic since these vehicles are not actually "parked," but instead standing or stopped. IUPD and BPD don't do anything about it because I'm sure there are more important things going on out there that deserve their attention. The presence of some physical barriers or police enforcement would be effectively in keeping cars out of the bike lanes. Vince Carristo emailed me about a year ago stating that the City was looking into physical barriers, but I haven't seen anything deployed. Thanks for your help. Without doing something about cars standing in the bike lanes, Third Street isn't really a viable bicycle route--at least during the day on weekdays.
trash in front yard and brush pile along the side. Mike-Lisa would like for you to go out and take a look at this property soon!
