South-bound Kinser Pike yellow left-turn signal is not glowing
There is an alley between wylie and Dodds street that is used extensively by hospital employees as well as the four families that use the alley as access to off street parking. It needs patched. It has been in bad condition for several years. Considering the heavy traffic in this alleyway, it needs improvement.
Screw broken on ped signal kirkwood and college nw corner
The attached photo shows the pedestrian signal at the corner of East 3rd Street and Woodscrest Drive in Bloomington. As you can see, northbound traffic on Woodscrest has a right-turn arrow at the same time that pedestrians crossing 3rd Street have a "walk" signal, which puts them directly in the path of the turning traffic. Surely this is not the way a properly designed pedestrian signal is supposed to work! Imagine the lawsuit when a motorist strikes a pedestrian in this crosswalk and it turns out they were both obeying their signals...
Trees are growing over the sidewalks enough so that it becomes difficult to pass
Trees and shrubs from this house spill into alley, and cause difficulty when using alley.
The East/West traffic light is only about 4 seconds long at Kinser and the 46 Bypass. About 4 or 5 cars can safely get through this intersection before a yellowish light. Recently, the turn lanes have been closed thus even fewer E/W bound cars can get through the intersection. Couldn't that light be changed to allow more time on green for E/W traffic to get through without having to wait thru multiple light changes?
Suggestion: have you considered a permanent all-way stop at the intersection of 10th Street and Smith Road? When this was a detour, the "all way" stop worked so much better than before.
The City removed two trees in the right of way at 535 S Washington Street. The stumps were not removed and the area cannot be mowed.
