City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #160736

Line of Sight:

Other: There is no yellow curb north of the parking garage at the new Urban Station apartments on Washington, meaning that cars can park right up to the entrance. This makes the field of vision for vehicles leaving the garage very poor. Compounding this is the issue of cars briefly double parking alongside the car immediately north of the exit to pick up and drop off tenants.This is especially problematical because there is a bike lane right up against the parked cars. As I was typing this, I saw a car nearly hit one cyclist in the bike lane and two children riding on the sidewalk. I have also seen a few close calls between vehicles. The only thing preventing accidents at this point is the large moving vehicles parking in the bike lane, forcing bikes to move over to where they can be seen. A yellow curb to the north would greatly help expand visibility for drivers exiting the parking garage. Additionally, now that riding on the sidewalk is legal and I just saw two children nearly hit by a car exiting from the garage, I think it would be prudent to have a mirror installed so drivers can see the sidewalk before exiting--not sure if this would be a city issue or an issue with Urban Station itself. Being that these apartments have been occupied for only four days and I have witnessed one accident, three or four vehicular close calls, and two vehicle-bicycle close calls, I hope the city gives this problem area the attention it needs. As is, it is only a matter of time before a serious collision occurs.

This item went to Traffic Commission 12/13/2017. The Commission approved No parking zones 25' north of each drive and alley between 2nd and Smith on west side of Washington Street. The request has been made for yellow paint in these areas until the code is updated and signs are installed. I left a voicemail with the constituent to inform them of the updates in the area.

The entire section of Washington between 2nd and 3rd St is being evaluated for parking and line of sight issues. This is slated to go to Traffic Commission Nov. 14th. I will call the constituent so they can participate if desired.

I did a line of sight investigation at this location today. I will be discussing my findings with the Traffic Engineers next week.
