There is a curb cut from the Turkuaz parking lot at 3rd & Lincoln onto Lincoln. For pedestrians walking south along the sidewalk, their is poor visibility to see cars pulling out here, and likewise I suspect cars don't have a good sightline for pedestrians.
I was almost hit last night as a pedestrian by a car quickly pulling out here and onto Lincoln. Can the city review this and see if it can be made a bit more safe? Is the curb cut even necessary here?

E Rogers Rd, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401
- Case Date:
- 6/20/2019
Bushes are overtaking the sidewalk on the NE corner of High street, just above the Rogers/Winslow roundabout. This makes walking or biking along the sidewalk to get to the Jackson Creek Trail somewhat dangerous, as the overgrowth pushes you out towards High Street. Cars are coming out the round about and accelerating, in this area, and sure seems real dangerous for smaller kids trying to navigate the narrow strip of sidewalk with speeding cars so close.

Performance Refinish Supply
- Case Date:
- 5/28/2019
There is a significant amount of gravel in the multi-use path by Performance Refinish Supplies.
It's a notable hazard because:
1. It's at the bottom of the hill where people will already be going fast on a bike.
2. There's a fast S-curve at the bottom of the hill, potentially requiring turning in the gravel section
3. The gravel has almost the same color and texture as the path, making it difficult to see with time to react.
4. There's not usually this much gravel here, making the condition unexpected.
It's been a rainy spring and I already know two experienced cyclists who have crashed due to unexpected gravel or mud in turns. I spotted this hazard too late slow fully myself and just tried to keep a straight line riding through it. I nearly rode off the side of the trail, but thankfully avoided losing control.
