Cars routinely stop or stand in the bike lane on Third Street anywhere between Jordan and Indiana Avenues. This forces bikes into the "car" travel lanes and makes a dangerous situation for everyone--all at the cost of inconsiderate, and frankly lazy, motorists who are waiting to pick up friends from class. Bloomington and IU Parking Enforcement is unable to do anything about this epidemic since these vehicles are not actually "parked," but instead standing or stopped. IUPD and BPD don't do anything about it because I'm sure there are more important things going on out there that deserve their attention. The presence of some physical barriers or police enforcement would be effectively in keeping cars out of the bike lanes. Vince Carristo emailed me about a year ago stating that the City was looking into physical barriers, but I haven't seen anything deployed. Thanks for your help. Without doing something about cars standing in the bike lanes, Third Street isn't really a viable bicycle route--at least during the day on weekdays.

When stopped on Adam Hill St to make a right or left hand turn on Country Side you can not see oncoming traffic because of tree foliage. I request that the trees on Country Side street be trimmed to allow motorist to see oncoming traffic. This intersection is in a school zone.

Office Richmond (I believe was how he introduced himself) was called for wellness check in citizen in need. When approached he approached with hostility towards the people helping provide warm clothes to the woman. He attempted to “help” and the woman asked for him not to touch her and then abandoned the warm layers due to the officers advances and presence. Then instead of actually helping he turned his questioning and subsequently aggression towards me. He spoke loudly and condescending towards me and then abandoned helping the woman. It would be okay if police weren’t so fragile that instead being of assistance they become a safety issues for others. Please when people call for help or wellness send EMTs be police officers since their egos and aggression cannot be in check. Invest in actual training in social workers and healthcare workers not men and women with power complexes and the affinity for harming the most vulnerable in our community.

Hello! I live just off of the intersection of 5th Street and Bryan Avenue, right next to the IU Raintree House. I've noticed that one of the stop signs at the four way stop is missing, the post and all. I've seen people driving right through without stopping, and then realized that the sign was completely gone. It is the stop sign on the north east side of the intersection. Just wanted to let somebody know. Thank you for your help!
