Traffic signal planned for Tapp/Rockport. Collecting count on Banta for review and reference.
closed: Resolved #147291
Traffic Related Complaints:
Other: Traffic from 5:00 - 6:30 on Banta is very dangerous due to lack of sidewalks and cars attempting to bypass traffic on W Country Club by driving up Banta, turning left onto Ralston, then turning to Rockport, then West onto Country Club. This leads to cars driving very fast up Banta. I would have submitted this as a "Close Call," as I was nearly hit twice. Once while pulling into my driveway, and again while picking up my mail. I believe a 4-way stoplight, with preference for W. Country Club, would be a good solution to the current 4-way stop sign which I believe generates these patterns. If there were no advantage to cutting through the neighborhood, the number of people doing so would decrease. Another solution would be to position speed cameras, or police officers to identify reckless drivers and begin ticketing more extensively in the neighborhood. However, those solutions are more temporary.

Provided the following email response: Mr Kelley, Thank you for taking the time to submit your concerns regarding traffic on Banta via the City's uReport system. I agree that a traffic signal at the Tapp/Rockport/Country Club intersection should help mitigate traffic cutting through Banta Avenue to avoid congestion associated with the all-way stop intersection at Country Club and Rockport. I am happy to report that we have a project underway to build such a traffic signal! More details on that project are available at the following website: https://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=8992. We anticipate the traffic signal will be constructed in 2017. In the interim, I will order up a traffic count and speed study on Banta so my staff can evaluate possible near-term/temporary changes. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or comments.
