Other: We live on the only road in Sherwood Oaks that has no side walks for pedestrians to use for safety when walking/biking. The issue with this is we live on a main thoroughfare to Sherwood Oaks Park, Rodgers Park, Clear Creek Trail, Childs Elementary, and Jackson Creek Elementary. We need better signs, and speed reduction devices such as speed bumps to slow down traffic that speed through our area and are a hazard to all that walk to the above places including children. The refusal to make this street part of the park green way and safer is absolutely absurd. The past excuses from the city included that we are a dead end with no speeding tickets or wrecks, which is why the city has refused to take action in the past. Please do not wait for someone to get injured or die on this road before you make it safer for all that live and use it for recreation.

Ty, Thank you reaching out about these concerns. We appreciate your proactivity in helping create safer streets for all road users in Bloomington. In terms of next steps, I would direct you to the City's Resident-Led Traffic Calming and Greenways Program. Each spring, residents apply for funding towards traffic calming infrastructure such as speed humps and bump outs to create safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists. I would be happy to chat more about this if you are interested. 1. TCGP Homepage: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=184585 2.
