Hi Mark, Quick follow-up, this location was prioritized for an improved pedestrian crossing. It is under design now, and it has a funding source for construction. Thank you, Beth
Other: I am a parent of a student living at Union Street Center Apartments. I have been observing this area for some time and feel there is a safety risk for pedestrians crossing from a parking lot to the Apartments. I have addressed this with the University and they said this had been passed on to Bloomington official and I never heard back from the city. They said its not their property and the City of Bloomington would need to address. I have tried emailing another official and again have not heard back. The issue is N. Union Street needs 2 Crosswalks at each end of the parking lot, with Yellow Flashing Warning Signs in each direction. In addition, the lighting is poor in that area, again increasing the risk at night. The Risk Analysis would show there is a high risk of Severity, Frequency, and Probability for an accident in this area. Cars traveling from 10th street to 3rd as a cut through are traveling down hill and pick momentum or speed. I would be happy to discuss this issue with anyone who will listen, so we all fully understand the issue.

We added the request to a crosswalk prioritization list, to be further analyzed. The City also recently improved the pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Union and 7th Street. I am happy to have a more detailed phone conversation about the street.
