I would like to suggest adding a designated pedestrian crossing at this location. This area is frequently used by students and other pedestrians traveling to and from the IU campus. There are also churches, mosques, and residential areas nearby, which contribute to regular pedestrian activity. Crossing the street at this location can be difficult and unsafe because 3rd Street carries heavy traffic. The situation becomes especially challenging because vehicles coming from S. Rose Avenue are also merging into or crossing the traffic on 3rd Street. With pedestrians trying to cross at the same location, there are several movements happening at once, which can create a potentially dangerous situation. A clearly designated pedestrian crossing, along with appropriate signs, signals, or other pedestrian safety measures, would make this area much safer and more accessible. Given the proximity to the university, residential neighborhoods, and places of worship, I believe improving pedestrian access at this location would benefit both students and the surrounding community.
The intersection of wood lawn and Hillside is dangerous. We live two doors away and here car accidents all the time. I was once T-bone on my bike by someone coping out of Wood law. We desperately need a stop sign or traffic like there.
Hey—-whatever happened to making Covenator a better bike route for east-west travel with a safer collegeMall rd crossing. At least bike lanes! Its been years of anticipation!
The live east bound travel lane is undermined. Several feet of open inadequately protected trench. Not enough room to list everything in this format.
Vehicles can’t get through when the IU students park on both sides of the street. Maybe signage is needed?
The traffic coming off of the Chick Fil A needs to be addressed soon before it gets worse. This morning it was lined up both directions on the entrance drive to CFA and the Target parking lot so it was deadlocked, in addition to being lined all the way out onto Kingston Dr heading into the four way intersection. People started practicing many unsafe driving methods including treating the southbound lane on Kingston as two lanes when not marked as such. You all need to sort this ASAP before there’s an accident or impact to pedestrians using the area as well with all of the vehicles and nonsense traffic. CFA doesn’t own the easement road or public Kingston. Get this addressed, road marked, and signage please. Thanks!
Major sidewalk hazard: large cylindrical hole in the middle of the sidewalk, with no signage. I very narrowly missed it with my wheelchair. Not accessible. This is on the east side of S Rogers. I was going to Switchyard park on the sidewalk from "Rogers St & Hillside Dr @ Community Kitchen" route 2S bus stop. The hole is just after the sidewalk splits off with a path towards Switchyard.
Parking is allowed on the east side of the road, which makes it impossible for two vehicles to pass since parking is also allowed on west side of road. Unsafe near collision observed this morning. Should change to only allow parking on one side.
