There is a significant amount of gravel in the multi-use path by Performance Refinish Supplies. It's a notable hazard because: 1. It's at the bottom of the hill where people will already be going fast on a bike. 2. There's a fast S-curve at the bottom of the hill, potentially requiring turning in the gravel section 3. The gravel has almost the same color and texture as the path, making it difficult to see with time to react. 4. There's not usually this much gravel here, making the condition unexpected. It's been a rainy spring and I already know two experienced cyclists who have crashed due to unexpected gravel or mud in turns. I spotted this hazard too late slow fully myself and just tried to keep a straight line riding through it. I nearly rode off the side of the trail, but thankfully avoided losing control.
The yellow flashing lights for pedestrians and bicyclists to use at Allen St. crossing Walnut are not working on the west side.
On Southdowns just west of the intersection with Jordan Ave, the biking and walking path is being overrun with dirt and brush. The pavement and part of the bicycle painted decal is being covered in dirt now. This needs to be cleaned up.
There is an overgrown bush obstructing the side path along Tapp Road west of Rogers.
The bushes are overgrown into the trail in the parking lot at the Rail Trail / B-Line on Country Club. The branches are hanging over the sidewalk/path along the front of the parking lot making it tough to get through.
Difficult to cross with bike from bike path that goes through underpass through green acres to campus at Union Street at times. Please have a safe bike signal or something to cross Union to campus and back.
Debris in West side bike lane of n Smith
The new bump outs on East Allen are incomplete and insufficient. Cars are zooming by kids walking and on bicycles. There needs to be brightly colored curb in addition to the tall reflective posts that were there before. Fix this quick before a kid gets hit!
I received a concern/complaint from Monroe County citizen Margaret Clements at mclements6@yahoo.com expressing concerns about ADA accessibility for the intersection of 1st Street and Walnut Street (quadrant unknown). I would recommend an evaliation of the intersection to determine the adequacy of all applicable ADA standards. Thank you. Pat Martin Planning & Transportation martipa@bloomngton.in.gov
