My name is Jillian Rich and I am a business owner along SR 46 / E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. This is a request for a new sidewalk. I have requested this from INDOT multiple times over the past several years with no result. INDOT has told me that the city could fund a sidewalk at this location so I am reaching out to make that request. This is the sidewalk gap on the north side of SR 46 / E 3rd St in Bloomington between Smith and Park Ridge Rd. My business happens to be located along a section of the roadway with no sidewalk on my side of the road. As far as I can tell, this is the only missing sidewalk along the entire section of SR 46 in Bloomington. My business is located in an urban area along this busy roadway, and the lack of sidewalk at this location presents serious safety concerns. Myself, my staff members, and my clients are forced to walk either in the bike lane, the drainage gutter, or the grass along the road. Because my business works with dogs, we are often walking dogs along the road. Some of the neighbors get upset when we walk in state right of way adjacent to their properties, so we are forced into the busy roadway. I have a fully blind staff member with a guide dog, and because of this lack of sidewalk, they are cut off from being able to walk the dogs in this area and unable to perform as many tasks as they are capable of. Often, we try to avoid walking by driving the dogs down to where there is sidewalk, but this is not always practical or worth the time. This is a very short section of missing sidewalk and would be well worth the cost to complete, and would benefit not only my business but the rest of the community greatly. Please consider prioritizing this location for a sidewalk and finishing up the final missing piece along E 3rd St / SR 46 in Bloomington. This is desperately needed. Thank you for the consideration.

Can the city connect Blue Ridge Dr and the Visitor Center to the lower cascades playground parking lot? I'm asking this one for a friend, her vision was a grand staircase, more of an art object than a bike trail.

Can the city connect E.Glendora Dr to Old SR 37, by the site of the old motorcycle shop? I assume it would include a sidewalk to Cascades Inn and crosswalks across N.Walnut and N. Dunn.

Lots of poison ivy under the shrubs behind the stone wall near the b-line and showers parking lot. Just south of the big table and chairs statue. It's growing out of the shrubs and right where people might sit to eat from the farmers market.
