Ice covering sidewalks on both sides of street. Last year was the same, never clear ice or snow from sidewalks. These are house rentals for IU students, so surely the owners can afford snow, ice removal!
Hello-There are regularly cars blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd St's a bit after 6pm.I wonder if there's a way for the city to make it clear to ride share drivers and customers of DaVinci that this is illegal and that they cannot block the bike lane. When there are 3-4 cars parked in the bike lane here, it really is no longer a bike lane and instead is a pick up/drop off zone. "Sending people to patrol the area" is definitely not working. Thanks!
There is a restaurant named la Bodega right next to healing hands thrift store that has tree like landscaping on the walkways. They are basically blocking the sidewalks. One is on the ramp which makes it even more difficult for those with disabilities. I tried to remedy by discussing it with the restaurant but it seemed with they did not care or did not understand the problem with it.
This address has a "mosquito" sound-producing device that is a hazard to pedestrian/bicyclist safety--the shock from the sound has made be veer into the road in shock multiple times.
on the 7-line, between walnut and washington, theres gravel in the bike lane that came from the median strip landscaping. two separate properties on this block pose this problem. the landscapers recently refreshed the gravel, and when they did, they dropped some directly in the bike lane, and they also overflowed the planters that are continuing to drain into the bike lane. the gravel is largely hidden by leaves at the moment, which only exacerbates the danger. i must emphasize that this is a transportation safety issue, and if planning cannot resolve it, then engineering or PW must solve it. thanks! - greg
I witnessed a tractor-trailer wipe out a pedestrian crosswalk button as he was rounding the corner. This was across from the speesway gas station amd chick filet. busy intersection!
Instead of slowing down when motorists see pedestrians attempting to cross 3rd Street, they instead often speed up and appear to only have their eyes on the stoplight ahead of them and other cars, especially westbound traffic when the pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk from The Burger Bar to head south to the other side where the apartments, bus stop, and Pizza X is. East bound traffic is only slightly more gracious (likely because their eyes aren't fixed on a stop light that is around the corner and somewhat out of view.) Obviously, I would not walk out right in front of a car, but only cross when the Westbound traffic is high up on the hill, but they accelerate driving downhill regardless what color the stop light across from the police station is. They accelerate for red lights, even though they are hurrying up to wait. Just overall hostility and carelessness at this cross walk. Perhaps a push button with flashing lights would be appropriate here since drivers ignore the pedestrian signs and painted cross walk.
No attempt at clearing snow
A crosswalk signal post was knocked down at the intersection of 3rd St. and Kingston Drive, on the side by First National Bank.
Hello, I regularly ride the bike lane along W 3rd and recently noticed that, at the intersection of W 3rd and the train tracks, the bike lane has been diverted onto the sidewalk. Could you please explain the reason for this diversion? Prior to the change, I continued through the intersection using the existing bike lane without issue, and I am trying to better understand the purpose and intent behind the new routing.
