I'm just checking if UReport sends a notification.

The pedestrian paths leading to the pedestrian tunnel under the 45-46 bypass are icy and hazardous. This is the case both westbound and eastbound. I saw another pedestrian fall on the eastbound approach. I was carrying a heavy load of groceries, and I consider myself lucky that I didn't fall. Bloomington, please do better by us.
When heading east on Covenanter, the signal at College Mall does not recognize bikes. If a cyclist is attempting to cross and there are no cars ahead or behind them, they have to wait through multiple signals until a car comes to activate the sensor. Covenanter is part of a marked bikeway for the city, which makes this situation all the more frustrating.
Overgrown trees on the polly grimshaw trail before you turn to go under the bbypass make it difficult to make the turn without heading into traffic going in the opposite direction.
People path east of the IN 46 underpass trail and north of 7th St. is low hanging and impinging the path.
This ice must be taken care of. This is a major safety issue. Who is responsible for this?? For a portion of a major city greenway to be neglected like this is unforgivable! If anyone who works for the city sat in a chair today, give them a shovel and a bag of salt and tell them to get out there until this liability is dealt with!
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.
Dumb down the east-west “smart signals” at Covenanter and College Mall Rd (and elsewhere in this corridor) that make it impossible for a a cyclist to cross the street if there is not a car at the intersection to trigger a green light. The only other way to get a green light at these intersections is to press a beg button designed for pedestrian access. The current default signals for car convenience make traveling by bicycle on the east side a real hassle.
This stop light seems to not respond to a cyclist going east or west. Meaning if a cyclist comes to it and there are no cars going E/W to "trip" it, it won't go green. Also, if there are cars in the turn lanes, it will give them turn arrows, but not give the straight traffic a green. I usually wait for a clearing and just go through the red light now. This is a new-ish issue; it didn't use to do this. It may have been on a timer before?
