Emailed citizen following response: Engineering staff conducted an additional review of the sight distance at this intersection. As you described, the hill limits the sight distance at the intersection. Changing the roadway design to improve sight distance would have some benefits; however, such a change would be costly and would need to be prioritized with all the other initiatives planned throughout the city. Despite the obstructions, sight distance was measured to meet the minimum distance recommended for a road with a 30mph speed limit. Sight distance is evaluated from an industry fixed height that reflects that of a driver's eye height in a passenger car, and a fixed point which typically requires a driver to move forward with caution prior to making the movement. Regarding a possible deer crossing sign, the city does not have plans to install such a sign given research has found that signs like this do not reduce deer-vehicle crashes and that signs alone are ineffective at slowing people down or changing driver behavior. Regarding possible speed humps, the City has a new resident led traffic calming request process to be aware of (website: https://bloomington.in.gov/tcgp). The call for project applications has already passed for 2021 but I anticipate a similar initiative will happen next year. In the interim, we have plans to temporarily locate the City's radar speed feedback trailer on Winslow Rd in this area to enhance driver awareness starting next week.

Staff investigated this report and did not find line of sight issue. Danna, would Street be the appropriate department to look into deer sign request?
