There needs to be improved lighting on Law Lane on the sidewalks of both sides of the street between the SRSC and the 10th street parking lot so that students are visible as they are getting ready to cross the street and while they are crossing the street. In addition, it would be extremely helpful to have a marked crosswalk across Law Lane from the SRSC to the 10th Street parking lot that has reflective paint on it or has reflectors on the ground so it is visible when lights shine on it and so students have a clearly marked area in which they should cross. I had to drive this way in the fall many evenings when it was dark and it scared me to death. The lighting was so poor that I had to practically come to a stop in this area to see whether there were students getting ready to cross the street. Thank you for your consideration! Carol Hetrick

I commute to the IU campus by bike from Park Ridge via the Polly Grimshaw trail. Where is a cyclist to go once you arrive at the bypass at this point? I have tried crossing the bypass to get to 8th by carrying my bike, but I was reprimanded by a road worker. Given the closures and lane restrictions at 3rd, 10th, and 17th, and on the bypass, where is a cyclist to go from the end of this trail? Please advise - I feel less and less safe every day on my commute.

Bicycle rack subsidies, I have heard the city of Bloomington offers subsidies for businesses to install bike racks?

10th street between Walnut and Indiana needs more pedestrian crosswalks; there many points that are difficult and often times dangerous to cross.

The Walnut Street bike lane from 11th St to 19th St is full of debris, glass, piles of straw, and potholes. It is unrideable in its current condition because it is so bumpy. I had to get out of the bike lane and ride in a traffic lane.

I bicycle commute from Park Ridge East to Indiana Ave. following the bicycle path along the railroad. Due to the bypass construction last week I had to cross the working site where the path meets the bypass, or one time I crossed at the light on 10th street. This morning my crossing was muddy. Detours for bicycles require more effort than detours for cars, especially in a hilly town like Bloomington. Moreover, they might require bicyclist to engage in high traffic stretches of roads or unsafe roads, as in the case I describe above. It appears to me that inconveniences and changes affecting car drivers are taken into account when construction works are planned. It does not appear to me that the needs of bicyclist are ever taken into account in these occasions. What is the plan you have in place for those following my commuting route? For how long I will have to expect construction on the bypass affecting my commute? Thank you, Stefano Fiorini

Along Hagan St., which is at the rear of my property on Stonegate Ct., a mature Bradford Pear was split during the storms over the weekend. A large portion of the tree is now blocking the sidewalk, and I'm trying to determine the responsibility for clean-up. By my understanding, the tree is on city property as it sits between the sidewalk and Hagan St., but I understand that it may still be my responsibility. Please advise.

If possible, I would like to see the sidewalk on the south side of East 2nd Street (between Highland Ave and Ballantine) made available for walking. There are big bushes that perpetually extend far into the sidewalk and no one is able to walk or run on it. Thank you!
