City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #185603

Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: The people who drive cars in this town are typically rude and dismissive of common decency. They constantly speed, even on residential streets; they drive on sidewalks and bike lanes even when there are people present; they drive at night without lights on; they drive drunk; they *often* drive the wrong way on one-way streets; and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. There was an accident recently where a driver hit a cyclist and drove away: https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2023/07/18/police-seek-hit-and-run-driver-of-ford-150-that-struck-bicyclist/70422419007/. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives when they walk or bicycle, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and ban cars from our streets? Thank you.

Thank you for your report. We are not able to ban cars from streets, but we do a great deal of work to make our city as safe and accessible for cyclists and pedestrians as possible. And we do close certain streets to cars during warmer weather months. If you witness reckless or illegal driving, it should be reported to the police department immediately.

This appears to be something that the complainant wishes to report to City Administration and is not something that the police have any control over.
