We observed the signal and it is functioning properly.
Other: Streetlight at the intersection of 2nd Street and South Walker Street is not functioning properly. I was forced to make a right hand turn as the light refused to turn green. I sat and watched the timer on the crosswalk allowing people to walk across. Count down to zero. While waiting at this light, I also had another vehicle approach for behind and sit behind me while I sat through a another cycle and it still did not change from red. This needs to be fixed. I have also noticed many of the lights around town require a vehicle in the straight away lane. When you are making a left hand turn in the left turn lane. There is no reason there are no sensors for the left turn lane on many of the streets in Bloomington. One example of these streets is West Gifford road turning left onto Curry Pike. If it is 2:00 in the morning and I'm in the left turn lane and there will not be a another vehicle in the straight away lane, then there needs to be a sensor that allows the light to turn green. Even though there's no vehicle in the straight away lane left turn lane signal that actually register you are there are important too!

The City of Bloomington Street Division will look into the issue at 2nd and Walker. The light mentioned at Gifford and Curry is outside of City limits and managed by Monroe County Highway Dept.
