Blocked Sidewalk

2nd street between Rose Ave and Anita

Case Date:
4/14/2025

The walking bridge on Second Street between Rose Ave and Anita was damaged by a fallen tree about a month ago and has been closed since then. To walk to work, I have to invade a neighbor's privacy by walking through her yard. I have noticed quite a few people (including an elderly one today) walking on the street, which is very tight traffic-wise. Does the city have plans to fix it? A second concern is one I've asked about several times over the years. Since I've heard about the plan to reconfigure the bike lanes on 3rd Street beginning on Rose, is it possible to put a crosswalk there (across 3rd on Rose). I have found this also to be a hazardous place to navigate on my walk to work in the IU School of Education on North Rose Ave. Many thanks for your attention to both questions! Hannah Schertz 512 S Rose Ave.

Biking & Walking

1552 N Walnut St

Case Date:
4/12/2025

The sloped driveway next to Waterview Apartments has calved another "asphalt iceberg" – which has slid into the bicycle lane, completely blocking it. This is very dangerous for bicyclists on a speedway where cars routinely go in excess of 50 miles per hour.
