Trying to travel anywhere on the South side is deplorable. Finish a project before you close down more roads. There is no one working on W Gordon Pike anymore and you started E Rhorer. Then you have Country Club shut down and just put up signs that Grimes is going to be closing soon. What the hell? This is a shit show. You are making it impossible to travel from East to West and causing MASSIVE traffic backups. Please finish Country Club or Gordon before you close down Grimes too. Did you even bother to stop and think these decisions through? If so I would like to know who in what world decided all these closures was a good idea, on top of Tapp being closed and 37 being worked on, let alone other projects in Bloomington.

Case Date:

I live on the southwest side of Bloomington, off of Tapp Road west of 37. I know you are aware of the traffic trials we have had and continue to have. 2nd St & 3rd St are severely restricted and consistently backed up, even at off times. Tapp Rd has been closed forever, and if you try to access the south side via Fullerton Pike, Country Club is closed AND now Gordon/Rhorer is shut down by Kroger. So you have to drive way out of the way no matter where you go, and everyone else is pushed that way too. We've all been driving twice as far, and twice as long EVERY TIME we go anywhere. Will we be receiving credits for our gas and wear and tear? No. ALL THAT BEING SAID, now you are going to shut down the eastbound lane of Grimes between Walnut and Rogers!? So 2nd street and 3rd street and Country Club and South Walnut/Gordon Pike are all severely restricted or closed and the city is shutting down another east/west road? I'm sorry to be so harsh, but it feels like you're just giving us the middle finger now. This would never happen on the other side of town and it's not okay. At least wait until Country Club is open. I understand that projects SOMETIMES overlap. Not all of them at the same time in the same location. So it was poorly planned without a contingency plan other than "deal with it". If it's a cost issue, think of all the extra tax money that has been received due to the extra gas and repairs we've purchased. If the city cares at all about west-siders, please don't shut down Grimes until Country Club is open. It's bad enough that as soon as Country Club opens, the Rockport/Tapp intersection will be closed and we'll have to cut through the neighborhoods there. Please, start/finish a project in some other part of the city. I know that the "you" in my message is not the you who first reads this, but I really hope you will pass it along to those who make the decisions- those who obviously don't live on the SW side of town. Thank you very much.

There is an intersection on 3rd Street and South Park Ridge Road that is extremely dangerous. I had a friend get in an accident today making a left out of South Park Ridge Rd. onto 3rd street. Thankfully, no one was injured, however, both cars were totaled. This is the second person I know from my apartment complex that has gotten hit making that same left turn. I, myself, have almost gotten hit there. Upon speaking to the police officer at the scene today, I discovered that there have been numerous accidents at that intersection. There needs to be a traffic light there, or at least a blinking yellow since the speed limit raises to 40 a light before. I hope that other people have complained about this and that this complaint isn't taken lightly. The safety of the many students and permanent residents of Bloomington are more important than the flow of traffic.

I want to start this by saying, I will vote against every single person currently sitting in our local government come next election. I live on the south side and this construction has turned my 15 minute commute into a 40 minute commute. Just to get to the west side of town! None of your projects were planned with ANY consideration of each other. You finish the tapp overpass just to close tapp/rockport and block all access to the overpass. BULL! And now you're closing Grimes for the next 2 months. How do you expect anyone to access Rogers? Do you expect me to drive 4 miles north from my home just to turn west? I am ashamed of every single one of you. You have zero idea on how to plan and coordinate these projects. And to finish, every one I know will also be voting against you next election. This was the nail in the coffin. Absolutely no sense in this whatsoever

Trees/brush to the north of Blue Ridge Drive make it hard to see oncoming traffic when turning south onto Walnut.

Case Date:

6/7/2018

Please trim back tree/shrub growth on the east side of N. Walnut St. just north of the visitors center, just north of the entry/exit to Blue Ridge neighborhood. It's very difficult to see cars traveling south on N. Walnut as you exit the neighborhood. Dangerous in many cases as drivers are traveling well over the speed limit on the newly paved road. Thanks for your consideration!

This location needs a street sign indicating that Hathaway Courts is a dead end (or a no through street sign). Numerous vehicles each day come down the street in an attempt to get to the parking lot for the tennis courts at Southeast Park. A sign would reduce the traffic that comes down the street looking for the park.

The choice to perform all of this traffic now was poorly made. If the city knew that I-69 was going to be built over 3-4 years ago, why did they not string all of these projects out over that time frame? Who is responsible?

Case Date:

You all changed the path and direction of northbound traffic at the roundabout at Sare and Rogers. As a result, traffic is backed up each morning and people are almost running into each other. Why the change? After all this time you just decide to change it? Really...? Another poor decision with regard to streets and traffic. It only makes morning commutes more difficult and unsafe. I can only image how congested this will make school bus traffic later this summer. You cannot fill in a pothole or repave a road, but you can change traffic markings on a roundabout after five (5) or six (6) years...?

Case Date:

7/13/2018

Why did you change the traffic flow of this roundabout? It use to flow very smooth. I drive northbound on Sare each day, and now that you have changed the flow, I wait each morning at the roundabout. When school starts, it will be a mess. When those apartments fill up and the rest of the Lakes is build, it will be much, much worse. Please consider changing it back to the way it was. Someone has too much time on their hands to change things like this, or else you have faulty data. It would have been nice if you asked for public comments before you changed it.
