I will communicate the feedback to the Engineering Department. If you'd like to follow up with them specifically you please see the link (https://bloomington.in.gov/engineering) for contact information.

Hi there, thanks for the comments. A few thoughts. 1. I can ask about increasing signage. Flashing beacons are outside of the scope for this project. We simply don't have $250,000+ to designate on (what I presume is) on E. Allen between Walnut and Henderson- the volume and speed of traffic at Washington and Henderson at this time isn't among the intersections that we prioritize for this treatment. That may change, but there are no guarantees. 3. I can ask Engineering about speed volume study, I don't know that we have evidence that supports the claim that cars are driving faster than before when the greenway was constructed. At face value, that seems to defy what we have seen on other projects around the City- but it IS possible. It may just be an issue of staff capacity to get the volume/speed data pre/post install. 4. If you'd like to paint the street- one outlet you, or the Neighborhood Association may be able to try is a Community Development Block Grant offered annually through HAND. Planning/Engineering doesn't typically manage mural projects as part of the scope of our projects- it's a staff capacity issue.
