Traffic Suggestions:

Other: People regularly park on the street on W. 15th off of Madison. People like the mailman understand to pull off the road onto the grass (which is a little annoying but acceptable). But we seem to have plenty of mowers, random people etc... that just think it's street parking. This blocks a sizeable portion of the road. It happens at least once a week. The disappointing part is that there is curb parking on Madison literally 20 ft around the corner. I've told a number of people but most don't care. It'd be great to have a NO PARKING sign on W. 15th or a 'street parking on Madison' sign or something. That's it. It would really make it safer considering we don't have sidewalks on this part of W. 15th so clogging the road creates a potential for disaster and inhibits things like buses for school/elderly.

Thank you for your report regarding parking concerns on W. 15th Street near Madison. The road is approximately 18.9 feet wide, which allows for low-volume residential traffic and limited on-street parking. In some cases, allowing parking along narrow streets can help calm traffic by encouraging slower speeds, especially in areas without sidewalks. At this time, we are not recommending the installation of No Parking signage. However, we will continue to monitor this location and coordinate with other departments if any recurring access issues are observed. You are also welcome to contact Hank Duncan by phone 812-349-3459 or email hank.duncan@bloomington.in.gov to include your request in the City’s annual review of sidewalk and transportation improvements. This process helps us assess and prioritize community needs, and your input is valuable. Thanks!
