Traffic Related Complaints:
Other: Hello, I am writing to request a pedestrian safety assessment of the marked crosswalk on East 10th Street, connecting North Woodbridge Drive and East John Hinkle Place in Bloomington. I live on North Woodbridge Drive and regularly use this crosswalk to reach East John Hinkle Place. I have serious concerns about pedestrian safety at this location, particularly given the volume of traffic traveling in both directions at approximately 40 mph. Although the crosswalk is marked, there are no pedestrian-activated warning lights to alert approaching drivers. At these traffic speeds, I believe the existing markings alone provide insufficient warning, creating an unnecessary risk for pedestrians, especially at night. I would like to formally request that the city evaluate installing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at this crossing. These pedestrian-activated flashing lights would provide motorists with additional warning when someone is attempting to cross East 10th Street. Please let me know whether the city can conduct a safety assessment at this location and what steps would be necessary to consider this improvement. Thank you for your time and consideration.
