With all of the construction in town and people using alternate routes it is creating nightmares for drivers as I'm sure you are aware. NOW they have the right turn lane off Smith road to 45 east closed. Traffic backs up well past the hill coming down Smith to get out onto 45 again. A couple of years they were doing something along 45 and put a 3 way stop at Smith and 45. This seriously needs done again for the ongoing construction. I'd like to see it as a permant relief for traffic issues at this much used, congested area. Thank you

Hello City Issues,
As you look at the location I'm sure you already know what I'm asking. As you leave the AMC movie theater on the west side of town on 3rd street, there's that ambiguous light that I've seen traffic handle two different ways. One is that only the left lane turns left and the other set treat both lanes as left turn lanes. I'm here to ask:
1) Can you verify, as you leave the movie theater, if I want to turn right onto 3rd street, is the first light only left turn-able from the left lane or do both allow you to turn?
2) This is very pie in the sky, but are you able to place traffic signs near the lights indicating the available turns? Having them clarify the purpose of the right hand lane would be tremendous.
I'm only asking because I've constantly seen people think one of two camps and, every time I leave the movie theater, I nearly see a wreck every time. Thank you.

The bypass has been very congested as of late. It has been taking an extremely long time to drive from 10th & Bypass to highway 37. This has never been an issue before and there can't be that many more people coming to and from Bloomington. It seems maybe the lights are off since law enforcement change the lights for traffic flow after athletic events. Please advise.
Thank you!

Every morning I travel from the west side of Bloomington to the east side and notice numerous drivers disobeying the traffic sings posted at the intersection of Curry and IN 46. There are 4 arrows, 2 for turning left and 2 for turning right, there are 2 signs posted for the right turns that states, NO TURN ON RED. However, every morning at least 1 person still insists on turning right on the red arrow. Today it was 1 person, yesterday it was 4 drivers. They are turning on red regardless which lane they are in. If we are going to allow the turn on red then please remove the sign. If no one should be turning on the red arrow then maybe the sign needs changed to say right turn on green arrow or police need to start giving out tickets. It is unsafe to allow drivers to make up their own rules.

Hi There
I'm normally not one to complain, especially about a city in which I love and have been apart of since I was a small child. However, the traffic situation on west 3rd street, primarily on the overpass of 37, has reached a point that is nonsensical. This morning, 3/20/2018, the overpass was down to one lane while no one was working on it. It took me 35 minutes to drive .2 miles and caused me to be late to work. I'm all for keeping the infrastructure of this city up to date, but when it takes me 35 minutes to drive a 1000 feet for no legitimate reason, that's when I have a problem. They have been working on the bridge for what seems like 6 months now without much improvement.
I hope to see some improvement soon.
Sincerely,
Greg Lovig

Could some signage and/or barrels be put up to indicate that the right turn lane is closed at the Gordon Pike/South Walnut (southbound) intersection (for those turning west onto Gordon pike)? The barrels cannot be seen until the driver is actually in the very long turn lane. Could have a "get over" arrow back by the animal shelter. Thank you!

HI,
I suggest adding some red reflectors to the traffic bump-out at the corner of 3rd and Jackson as the street jogs around the Paris Dunning House and heads west on the one-way part of the street. For reasons I don't understand, there have been at least 4 people in the last couple weeks who have driven over the bump-out and had a flat tire. In one case the man broke the steering arm on his vehicle, and he could not even move very far out of the way. I know this bump-out has been there for years, but I think there used to be reflectors in the bump-out. It seems to me some reflectors could help. I assume some of the people call the city to complain.
Also, one of the neighbors said similar accidents occur at the bump-out close to her house. Maybe new reflectors all down this section of Third Street would help.

I was damn near killed today by a car that didn't stop at the corner of High Street and Maxwell Lane. The car was coming south on High Street while I was coming west on Maxwell. There is no crosswalk at the intersection, but there is a stop sign for traffic. The stop sign is not stopping traffic.
