Trail parallel to train tracks, from bypass to parkridge east neighborhood is very overgrown. This a problem every year!! Should be cut at least a few times a year. I witnessed a trail user conflict last evening, otherwise i probs would not have bothered with this report.
At the following addresses, the clearance space above the sidewalk surface and the bottom of the tree canopy is quite a bit lower than the eight feet stipulated in Section 12.24.040(2) of Bloomington’s Municipal Code. The low bottom of the tree canopy at these addresses blocks the sidewalk and represents a safety hazard for pedestrians and runners. Could you please look into this issue? Thank you! 3906 E Brighton Crest 3916 E Brighton Crest 929 S Brighton Crest 807 S Brighton Crest 701 S Brighton Crest (tree on Bennington Blvd) 4049 Bennington Blvd 559 S Park Ridge Rd (R3 Reserve, west side of Park Ridge) 365 S Park Ridge Rd 4405 E 3rd St (gas station, tree south of gas station exit on N Park Ridge Rd) 125 S Park Ridge Rd 109 S Park Ridge Rd 4401 E Cambridge Ct (tree on N Park Ridge Rd) 610 N Park Ridge Rd 903 N Park Ridge Ct 824 N Plymouth Rd 4305 E Walpole Ln (trees also on Plymouth Rd) 615 N Plymouth Rd 501 N Plymouth Rd 331 N Sheffield Rd
There are tree branches extending into the bike lane on E. Longview Ave between S Kingston Dr and N Glenwood Ave W. (adjacent property is 123 S Kingston Dr). This is a safety hazard for bikers. Could you please look into this issue? Thanks!
The bike lanes on North Smith Road are crumbling and are more dangerous to use than the car lanes. It would be really nice to see an extension of the sidewalk to incorporate and combine the existing bike lanes, so the sidewalks are wider, and the vehicle lanes feel narrower, which might help reduce traffic speeds through the winding/hilly residential area and make the path feel safer to bikers and pedestrians.
thanks for cutting back the "wall" of growth on polly grimshaw trail. "Ceiling" branches still hang very low and should also be cut back, also the "corner" of the "floor" and "wall" have left-overs that still block trail in places. probably needs a "best practice" redo. thanks in advance.
Car parked across the new side path on south high street, completely blocking pedestrian and bike access. This is just south of Queens Way, didn't get exact address.
Can someone help explain to me the proper procedure for the dotted bike lane? I was driving east on 7th street approaching Jefferson when a bicyclist approaching me from behind me starting screaming at me to get out of the bike lane. As I proceeded to merge into the middle of the road he continued to scream at me to get out of his way and called me a "stupid bitch". After he passed me in the bike lane he proceeded to ride straight through the stop sign. I was maintaining my lane of travel approaching a stop sign in case a car/bicycle/truck/bus was going to enter towards me. I'm just a little confused about right of way and what is expected of me whether traveling by car or bicycle on this part of East 7th street. I have never encountered dotted lines on either side of the roadway anywhere else in this city or any other city. *there is no option under which I am reporting, just to be clear I am reporting a bicyclist being aggressive, rude, and using obscene language when I was maintaining my own lane of travel.
This drain is below grade and is an issue for bicyclist's and for pedestrians and for cars.
This is the second picture of the drain behind the von lee building. This is a danger for bicycling
The bike lane on both sides of Smith Road is in very bad shape. Staying in the bike lane is, at times, more dangerous than riding out on the road with traffic. I selected the Debris in Bike Lane, but it's not a matter of debris; rather, the road is busted up with potholes in the bike lane.
