Hello, The bike lane on N College is covered in gravel and debris. Under the rail bridge north of 12th St, I am forced to bike in the far right lane of traffic due to the debris. I understand that there is a project on this area, and I sincerely hope that protected bike lanes are installed to create less stressful trips downtown.
Trees impinging the bike route on 7th st. They also block the view of oncoming traffic.
There is significant debris – sand and gravel – strewn across the bicycle lane in several places on North College Avenue. The debris has been there for MONTHS. The debris is very hazardous to bicyclists, especially because it is so thick and extensive. Bicyclists avoiding the debris or sliding on the debris could be struck and killed by motor vehicles – especially given that the City utterly fails to enforce the speed limit, which means that drivers have less time to react. The area with these piles of debris extends for almost the entire length of Miller Showers Park.
A car blocking the bike lane on washington between 4th and 3rd St's at 6:08pm 8/23/23. Plate ZVS960 Thanks!
People path east of the IN 46 underpass trail and north of 7th St. is low hanging and impinging the path.
The pedestrian light to cross third street often doesn't work and it becomes impossible to cross the street at the intersection.
Kinser Pike road and sidewalks have been destroyed for a long time now after the construction at 17th and Kinser. These should have been repaired right after the gas line construction. Do bad this isn't the Eastside or IU as you all would've had it repaired the next day
Renwick trail is very overgrown, two way travel is unsafe
I am very concerned about the cross walks on the B-line trail downtown. Cars are not stopping/yielding to people who are crossing. I was almost hit 3 times this week! And, I saw someone else almost get hit. Drivers of cars are not seeing the small sign that says yield State law that is posted in the middle of the cross walks. Can the city put in yield signs on the left of the crosswalks. We need more signage. It is very scary and I would not want anyone to get hurt. I know it is busy since students are back in town, but still people are not stopping and the city should make the signs more visible!
Treacherous bike riding jn "bike lanes" along Smith Rd. from E 3rd street up to 10th St. There are large sticks, large pieces of trash, grates that could cause tires to cause an accident. Bike lanes are no where near wide enough. You cannot count the 'gutter' area as a bike lane as its unevenness can catch tires and cause wrecks. Also, there must be several inches for a biker to be able to move over when a car comes around him/her dangerously close. You are asking for serious injury and even deaths if bikes are knocked out of the lane into the path of oncoming cars from either direction. I'd like to challenge anyone to try to stay in those dangerous, narrow lanes day in and day out on the commutes to work. If it is the law to allow bikers 3 feet for safety, cars need to see the definite boundaries of that 3 feet. Too many cars have passed me where I could reach out easily and touch the cars. They also pass me dangerously close to returning to their lane as oncoming cars approach.
