Traffic Suggestions:

Other: I just moved into my home in April 2026, and I thought that Sherwood Oaks was a safe neighborhood. However, in the past few months I have lived here, I have witnessed several close calls with cars excessively speeding down Allendale, most notably in front of my house, almost hitting pedestrians and bicyclists, including children. I know the neighborhood has rallied together to try to get traffic calming devices installed, such as speed humps, and I understand why that is not favorable. But could the City at least put up speed limit signs along Allendale to remind drivers to slow down? A fawn was recently hit in front of my house due to a car speeding down the road. I would really hate for it to be someone's child. Thanks for your consideration, Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, Thanks for describing the close calls on Allendale, particularly those involving children walking and biking. Additional speed-limit signs alone may have limited effect on the speeding you’re describing. The City’s Traffic Calming and Greenways Program provides a process for residents to request consideration of measures such as speed humps or cushions. This year’s application cycle has closed, but you can find program information at https://bloomington.in.gov/tcgp. Applications are evaluated based on safety need and available funding. Thanks, John
