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.

Snow/ice has not been cleared from the 7-line bike path; VERY dangerous at this area!

At 7th and Morton, on 7th in both directions for the lanes of motor vehicle traffic, there are no painted white stop lines perpendicular to the lanes for the new stop signs. It would be helpful to have the thick white stop lines to help signal to traffic that they must stop at this intersection. This is for both east and west bound traffic lanes.

The streetlight at the corner of 7th and Morton (next to Ragstock, cattycorner from Bloomington Bagel Company) is badly flickering and strobing.

I've always thought that I needed to suggest that some sort of "barrier" needed to be put in the large bike lanes as I've seen multiple people attempting to drive or actually driving down them (and I've even had to make a last minute movement when I realized the lane wasn't for cars and I'm from Bloomington and do a ton of driving downtown). The location I noted might not be the exact spot of where I just saw someone doing this, but it's the bike lane all the way down seventh St. Thanks for the consideration and I look forward to seeing this simple improvement soon!!

At 900 W Kirkwood Ave, in front of the gates at our company, there seems to be a continuous pooling/running of water right at the sidewalk. It runs into the road and then east on the street. With colder weather coming, our concern is it freezing and causing more problems.

Large amounts of water have been draining out of the parking lot of Morrison's Appliance store on West Kirkwood Ave. During freezing temperatures, this creates a large sheet of ice accross the sidewalk and along the northern edge of Kirkwood Ave creating a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.

Duke Energy cuts down trees on private property without regard to whether or not it is needful to do so. They damage private property, leave fences open or damaged, and leave trash behind. They need to be checked by the city before we have no trees left.

Noticed the installation of speed monitoring bands the other day at Morningside and Sheffield. Can you explain the purpose? Curious as recent traffic calming was installed so not sure if it is monitoring for improvements, considering some alterations, or a different purpose. Thank you. Greenway improvements have been helpful in whole.

Howdy all. A number of residents have reported sewer problems lately in our neighborhood. Could be individual to houses but seems like a pattern. Also a fiber worker was reporting problems in our neighborhood and wondering if it may somehow be related. Any way someone can check on sewer health/status in our neighborhood to make sure there are no issues with public sewer? Thank you!
