The streets mentioned in this uReport are, indeed very narrow. This is because they were laid out a long time ago. Staff realizes that sometimes two cars will approach one another from opposite directions and one car will have to wait while the other passes. Based on how low volume the streets are, this will not happen often, and would not be a strong impediment for drivers. There appears to be enough room for a driver on Madison to turn onto 16th without hitting a parking car at the apartment complex on the NE corner of 16th and Madison. Many of the older streets in Bloomington are as narrow as the ones described here. The warrant to make them one-way streets would be something like a large increase in volume or a high crash rate.
