There is a lot of sand and debris in the bike lanes on College and Walnut as they go under the railroad bridge. It's dangerous because it's difficult to get traction and keep from spinning out and falling into a lane of traffic.
Sidewalk on west side of Lincoln, just north of 11th is below street grade and floods every time it rains.
Sidewalks along North Washington Street are in need or repair; there are sections that are lower than the street w/ no curbing and sections that have crumbled down to th gravel. Sections in question between 12th and Cottage Grove.
The North Washington Street bicycle lane from 12th to 10th street is significantly narrower than the 5 foot standard outlined in the City of Bloomington Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines document. In addition, vehicles parked along the west side of Washington street routinely occupy some portion of this bike lane, reducing the width even further. It seems to me that this stretch of road would be better suited for sharrow markings instead of the very narrow bike line that currently exists.
The Walnut Street bike lane (starting around the intersection with 11th street) has been all torn up for quite some time now. When will this be repaired?
I'm constantly having problems crossing 10th street in the unmarked crosswalk at Washington. This morning I was walking southbound on Washington street, and begin to cross 10th with no visible traffic. A motorist turned eastbound onto 10th from Walnut, accelerated hard even though I was in the intersection, and proceeded to honk and yell at me I have had similar experiences on North Walnut, crossing between 10th and 17th where there are no signalized intersections. Please look into making crossing at unmarked (and marked) crosswalks safer for pedestrians in our city, especially on roads that see higher speed traffic flow.
The crosswalk on the southeast corner of Woodlawn and 10th is not functioning properly. When you press to walk, the signal replies to "Wait," but when the crossing is safe to walk, the signal only makes an odd, mechanical noise with no indication that it is safe to cross.
Washington Street bike lane is filled with large pieces of broken glass. Just south of 10th street.
Hello, I wish to voice my concern in the nicest way possible. I am not asking for compensation or threatening to sue. I just want to bring light to a situation that is possibly hazardous and/or costly. As I was biking to a meeting at work last night, I ran over a large steel plate in the middle of College Ave. It is in front of the construction site where the Waffle House used to be. It nearly threw me off my bike, and I could have easily been run over by other cars. Luckily, it just popped both my tires and no further damage was taken. I would love to see a warning sign, or some sort of reflective material on these large steel plates in the future. Just something to thank about. I thank you in advance for your responsiveness. Sincerely, Caleb Fossee
Please add a flashing light and signage at the crosswalk where the B-Line crosses Rogers to alert drivers to be prepared to stop for pedestrians. It's especially important because the sidewalk on the east side of Rogers is closed, so people entering or exiting the B-Line there need to cross from or to the west side of Rogers. (I.e., we can't walk on the east side and cross Rogers at the stop sign at 11th St.)
