@ObbieZ @bloomington_in The people who are against the skywalk think conventioneers will never leave their bubble if they don’t have to. They want to avoid the skywalk to get people wandering around the downtown.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I can get to a gas station.
OK, maybe to a park if you don’t require it to have playground equipment 🙂
@markstos @samth @bloomington_in I travel 11th & Fee a lot. Tons of pedestrians, people pulling in and out of the garage and the business school, and you’re at top speed when you get there southbound. I’m not too surprised.
@samth @markstos @bloomington_in The hills on Hunter don’t bother me (on my ebike) nearly as much as the stop signs. But a good route south of 7th and north of Sheridan would be nice.
@benlk @bloomington_in They’re just completing a study which will probably recommend traffic calming on that road. Whether that will actually happen is another question, but if it did I imagine they would also try to induce some demand for businesses there.
