uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Can't Fix #166250

Biking & Walking:

Other: Could you please install a painted crosswalk at 3rd and E Grant? 3rd is very high traffic and as cars come around the corner heading west, it makes for a dangerous crossing for pedestrians who are given no right-of-way.

Constituent emailed the following response: thanks for taking the time to submit this uReport and I apologize for my delayed response. We have heard complaints about this location in the past and are interested to improve this crossing. Unfortunately, research has shown that simply painting a crosswalk in this type of context does not improve pedestrian safety (and in fact can decrease it). Crossing improvements will likely need to include a median refuge island, flashing beacons, or other types of improvements. We have been investigating options for improvements in coordination with possible private developments at this intersection, but at this time there are no definite plans. I appreciate your time on this matter and we will continue to pursue improvements at this location. Please feel free to follow up if you have questions or comments.
