Bike/Ped Commission meeting tonight

Zooming into the meeting, mostly to hear about Indiana Avenue. First up, though, is a review of the ADA Transition Plan. Comments seem mostly positive, commissioners are worried about several engineering issues rather than planning.

Public Comment: Eric Ost thinks we aren't doing enough due diligence on prioritizing projects. Thinks we spend too much on cycling and not enough on ADA.

@benfulton @bloomington_in In the Sidewalk Equity Audit, I found the city had been steadily and relentlessly retrofitting more ADA curb cuts over time. Something 500 in the period reviewed. And all new construction ADA compliant as well.

@benfulton @bloomington_in Smith Road had a user who commuted to work in a power chair. After it was brought to his attention that they were using the road for lack of curb cuts, the city came and added all the curb cuts along the route.

@markstos @bloomington_in The speaker said he'd been in the job for many years, but it was only in the last five or so he really felt that the city was starting to make forward progress.
