Sidewalk Requests

I am a resident of the Bloomington Highlands subdivision, off Rockport Road between Fullerton Pike and Country Club Drive. I am requesting a sidewalk along Rockport Road, from S Wickens Street to W Country Club Drive. There is currently no sidewalk along Rockport Road at all, so anyone walking to Switchyard Park has to walk on the shoulder or the grass next to traffic. Our family would walk to the park regularly if there were a safe way to do it — instead we have to drive a very short distance. This stretch also carries the Gordon Pike detour traffic right now (Rockport Rd → Country Club Dr → Rogers St), which has made walking it feel even less safe. A sidewalk on this segment would give Highlands residents a safe walking route along Rockport to Country Club Drive, on the way toward Rogers Street and Switchyard Park and its trails. An earlier request (Jan 2024) already asked for sidewalks and a crosswalk at the Rogers/Rockport intersection and along Rogers to the park entrance. This request covers the missing Rockport Road segment west of that. Please consider it for the city's sidewalk plans. Thank you.
