Please replace the lights in the bike tunnel that goes under Bypass 46 and 7th street. I've received a report of someone being assaulting while they were on their bike.

A couple weeks ago cbu dug a hole at 11th&college and abandoned a sign in the bike lane on the south side of 11th just west of college. It moved to the sidewalk, and i reported it as blocking the sidewalk on april 5. Now it has disintegrated and moved back to the bike lane. Its black base is almost invisible at night and poses a mortal danger to cyclists. You wont like where i put it if you dont take care of ot within 24 hours.
Unexpected, unmarked angle in pavement within the 7th St biking lane. This is an addition to the pavement surface that is unsafe for cyclists. It is a hill that is angled for water runoff but not in the private property of the apartments. Not a city addition. Please make it level with the street. Thank you.
Blocked sidewalk both sides of Sherwood Oaks Church drive on Sare from their plowing; yard sign in R-O-W EVERY YEAR. I felt like I almost fell into Sare road going around yard sign I’m getting over flu A. Tolerated these yard signs years but sidewalk blocked pls contact Shawn Green lead minister a secretary may delete any correspondences from city
light going on and off
We just received an email at IU saying that we should be using the sidewalk on 10th st from the bypass to range rd in our kubota and other atv's. This seems completely wrong, and at odds with encouraging biking and walking in an already troubled area. Please advise if there is an official policy on this.
When pressing the button to cross walking west across 3rd Street, cars turning right onto 3rd Street off of college avenue do not check for pedestrians and just gun it every time. The other issue is because the street is so wide, cars continue turning right onto college avenue off of 3rd Street as you're walking across and you have no idea if a big truck is in front of them. People also like to block the crosswalk with their vehicle on 3rd Street. Walking just a little further down, the same issue is common when trying to cross PLS drive and cars are continuously turning off of and onto PLS and 3rd Street without checking for pedestrians. I used to be a lot faster before my surgery, but they expect anyone walking to be quick and nimble and jump out of their way and back onto the sidewalk which can make you trip backwards and fall on your butt. I think that there is not enough to make drivers aware that there are pedestrians using that area as well even though there are buttons for crosswalks and painted lines on the road. Cars are only paying attention to the stoplights and other vehicles. I avoid this area whenever possible even though I used to love walking around the east side for exercise, doctor's appointments, and shopping. Some people even walk to the hospital. Not everyone using a crosswalk is a sports legend and I don't think that it's my responsibility to jump out of the way of fast moving cars after I've already started walking to cross the street after looking both left and right. Drivers need to understand that a pedestrian going west crossing 3rd Street cannot see vehicles coming behind them and turning right! I don't have eyes in the back of my head. There needs to be more bells whistles lights something to indicate to drivers that this is not safe.
I'm sorry there were so many typos in the last report I meant to say college Mall road but predictive text kept adding things on my phone and I'm sorry
invasives and other brush along Side path on South Sare from Buttonwood to Rogers is badly overgrown
Is it possible to have a crosswalk painted on 3rd at Rose? Today I saw a blind person trying to make the crossing. Per the email below, a few years ago, it seemed this was a possibility. Yes. There will be marked crosswalks on 3rd at Rose. On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Schertz, Hannah H. <hschertz@indiana.edu> wrote: Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes. My concern is crossing 3rd at Rose as a pedestrian. Is there any chance of a crosswalk there? Thanks, Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146 From: Adrian Reid <reida@bloomington.in.gov> Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 10:49 AM To: HSchertz <hschertz@indiana.edu> Subject: uReport request Good morning, Thank you for your uReport request regarding Rose Avenue. At this point, the likelihood of a sidewalk on Rose Avenue is very low. You probably have noticed changes on 3rd Street as a result of the City's Greenways Implementation Plan, however. Rose Avenue in the segment you describe is designated as a neighborhood greenway as well. So you will see some additional signage and striping at the 3rd & Rose intersection if you haven't already. Thank you again for your uReport request. Thanks, Adrian
