Responded via email

Hi Heather, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Currently, you are catching the City in a moment of transition. While the City of Bloomington technically still has a Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program, the Planning and Transportation Department feels that the current policy needs to be updated in order to facilitate an objective and transparent response as it relates to traffic calming and unsafe driving behaviors which you described. I am writing a policy currently, and will be bringing it to the mayor next week. From there it will go to our transportation boards/ commisions for approval- and then (::fingers crossed::) City Council for approval. In order to allow our team the time and resources to design an effective, transparent, and data-driven process we will not be accepting any new Traffic Calming projects until the new program is set to begin next January. That being said, I know that this isn't what you want to hear, and I'm afraid there aren't any quick fixes.. I have made note of your concerns and will bring it to my next Traffic Considerations meeting. If you would like to be alerted once the policy is open for public review, or when we accept projects for speed cushions- please feel free to email me at rickbeilm@bloomington.in.gov and I will be sure to keep you abreast of any updates.

This is mostly a traffic calming request. It appears to also be an issue of line of sight from an intersection. Perhaps Karina can look into that portion of it.
