@markstos @bloomington_in So I suppose bike route algorithms recommend the bypass generally? I wouldn’t. Between the debris thrown up on the path by speeding cars, and just generally the amount of carbon monoxide you suck in, I’ll take my ebike quite a bit farther to avoid it.

@markstos @bloomington_in Maybe because it is high car ownership and car density? 🙂 Past Griffy there is the dog park and the north end of Cascades, so it really finishes out the circuit I think. Also at the 2500 block of Walnut there is an area designated as an “Urban Village Center”, so maybe they’ll do something with that as well.

@KrissyKat @bloomington_in Yep, that thread has it right AFAIK. A big area in the middle of campus was fenced off, I need to swing by and see if it’s been opened back up now.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @bloomington_in Listening in on the meeting about this…it has the feeling that they will be going all night 😬 A presentation from a homeowner followed by commission discussion and we’re 45 minutes in. There are going to be public comments for hours.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @bloomington_in This particular kerfuffle is about tearing down some single-family houses and replacing them with apartment buildings.

@bloomington_in My recommendation is that they replace LOS all through the document with “Cars Go Fast Level”.

For example, SR 45 and Airport Road could say, “Based on the capacity analysis results, the intersection operates at Cars Go Fast Level B during the PM peak hour in 2019”

@Kashmir There are plenty of racks downtown, I think, though not so many on the east and west sides. Are you looking for a locker instead of a rack specifically?

@redfox Love them. Forces cars to slow down to a less than killing speed instead of a stop sign or light that can be blown through at 50 MPH. #CarsRuinEverything

@redfox I’ve only used it a couple of times (I live and work in Bloomington and #ebike everywhere). I’d like to get in the habit of a park-and-ride from the south side when I visit Indy though.

@redfox @ilinamorato Any chance you could take the red line instead of driving? It might be cheaper and less frustrating.

@redfox @FlyingSquid @Bikevisionary might have some numbers to share.

@FlyingSquid Watched the first season but the awkwardness was beyond me. As a gen-xer I prefer ironic detachment 😃

@MSgtRedFox @FlyingSquid @Alto @Fedizen @Gingerlegs @the_q @NocturnalMorning @iamanurd @ScottStarkey @givesomefucks @happybadger Obvious first step would be to pass the compromise bill that Sinema and Lankford worked so hard on.

@brianrlawson To make progress we need to get rid of the corrupt, incompetent, hateful people in the state legislature. But then I go and look at the Indiana Democrats web page and see this, and I despair.
