Responded to the requester, explained prior City/IU discussions about crossing and transit improvements, and noted that study findings and project plans remain unconfirmed.
Other: The O'Neill/Wells library crosswalk, especially after afternoon classes, causes significant traffic buildup, congestion, and confusion. After boarding the 9 bus at the IMU at 5:00, it took over 20 minutes to get from 10th and Woodlawn to the crosswalk in question. I have experienced this same issue while driving as well. This is a consistent issue during the week. I am not sure if solutions have been considered before, but if there have been I would love to know. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for sharing your experience, especially the delay on the Route 9 bus. We’re aware of congestion near the O’Neill/Wells Library crossing and its effect on bus travel. IU commissioned a study and received recommendations for this area, but those recommendations have not been implemented. IU has also received funding related to improvements here. I encourage you to contact IU’s facilities and transportation staff to share your experience and ask about their plans for the crossing.
