uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Submission Received #213156

Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: The active construction sites on both Second St and West Kirkwood are causing dangerous traffic flow concerns on Howe St. Traffic that would normally take those routes is now all flowing onto Howe St, which is a two-way street with only one-lane traffic flow, and street parking. Typically, Howe St. is not very active except for local traffic. However, traffic flow is nearly continuous from both directions. Today in particular, (8/17) there has been non-stop traffic flow and I have seen several almost collisions and cars are speeding very fast down the road from both directions. I would highly suggest resolving some of the active construction sites in the area so they are not all occurring simultaneously, or alleviate traffic flow issues by planning better detours. In multiple locations on this side of town, many detour signs simply re-route you to another active construction area. Definitely a safety issue as this is a small neighborhood with pets and pedestrians walking the streets most of the time, and most local homeowners are limited to street parking. Additional construction has also recently been added to 1st street, and S Rogers st also adding to the issue.

Thank you for taking the time to submit this uReport. It is likely that the current closure of the intersection of 2nd/Rogers is contributing to the issues that you note. That intersection is planned to be closed for one week. Staff are monitoring and adjusting the detour signage to provide better and earlier notice of the detour routes.
