Biking & Walking
Morton & 7th, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA
- Case Date:
- 7/14/2022
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.

I just hope the demolition at the old hospital includes SPRAYING down the DUST with WATER every day!! My neighbors and I on West Wylie St. worry about this.

I am unsure if this is owned by the city, but the lights in the parking lot of my apartment complex need repairing - thank you!

There is a massive pot hole in my apartment complex. I am unsure if you are the authority to have this repaired or if my leasing office has to make the request - but the hole causes damage on people's cars!

Bloomington Hardware (at the Covenanter-College Mall intersection) removed all their bicycle parking spaces a couple years ago. Does that violate city code or can businesses just do that at their discretion?

This house has all kinds of things outside that are NOT meant for outdoor use. A filing cabinet, for instance. This address has been reported multiple times and nothing gets done. Can you please tell them something other than, "Put a tarp over it"! How about mandating that they actually clean it up by a certain time frame. Never happens.

The walk sign light at the South-West corner at 10th and Walnut (facing north to cross 10th) is out. It has been flickering for a while now and has finally stopped working. The red Do Not Walk light works, it is only the white walk light that is out. Thanks!

The at-grade railroad crossings on N Adams and on Fountain Drive are in deplorable shape. Is the city responsible for these, or the Indiana railroad Company? There are many crossings in Bloomington and most of them are fine. These crossings are in a lower income neighborhood so I'd think the city, with its focus on equity and social justice, would be very interested in getting these improved.

Several years ago stop signs were briefly installed on 10th at Smith and it was wonderful. Then they were pulled and we never try to make a left on 10th from Smith because it's just too dangerous. Would really love a light here. But stopsigns would be awesome.
