Referred the resident to the resident-led traffic calming and greenways program. While the 2024 application period has closed, this would be a good opportunity for the 2025 program.
Other: We live on Southern Oaks Drive (between Sare Road and Oakmount Drive). Drivers frequently use our street as a "cut through." We have many children in our neighborhood and, this afternoon, a five year old boy riding his bicycle was almost hit by a driver speeding through this area. The driver did not even slow down, rather, they swerved to go around him. He swerved the same direction and they almost hit him. Our request is for speed bumps or some sort of traffic calming device to be place on South Southern Oaks Drive before a child is seriously hurt or even killed. This situation will only worsen as more apartments, and businesses are built on Sare Road.

Linda, Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry to hear about this situation on Southern Oaks Dr. but appreciate you being proactive about creating safer streets in our community. I would recommend looking into the Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program. This program is made for residents like yourself to have agency in creating safer streets. While the 2024 application period has closed, I would encourage you to apply for the 2025 cycle once the application opens early next year. The program is linked here: https://bloomington.in.gov/tcgp If you have any questions about the process, do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your help in making Bloomington safer for all.
