temporary speed bumps were placed in Broadview neighborhood during the intersection closure of Tapp/Country Club and Rockport. These speed bumps should be removed as they were temporary and the newly improved intersection is open.
Several complaints have been filed regarding the speeding and noise level of Tow Time Towing Company trucks. We are seeing a reoccurrence of these concerns during the past 2 weeks.
When you are heading north on Rogers and approaching 1st Street, the stop sign is getting tough to see due to the trees along that stretch.
North side of Hawthorne Dr./E. 1st St. intersection: When trying to turn from southbound Hawthorne onto 1st St., it is difficult to see oncoming westbound traffic on 1st St., due to the overgrown foliage in the landscape strip in front of 1127 E. 1st St. There's approx. 60' from the overgrowth to the intersection & with cars traveling 30mph, there is very little reaction time if you pull onto 1st. I've almost caused a wreck twice, because I couldn't see far enough past the foliage without nosing out into the intersection. This is an unsafe condition & this foliage should be cut down.
Street sign at 2nd and Henderson has been missing for at least the past several months.
The intersection of ST45 and Range/Pete Ellis Drive is crazy. Turn lanes are for right turns not left turns. The added traffic from the hospital has only made it worst.
The towing company Tow Time at 2620 S. Rogers street. Tow trucks travel down Fairview to W. 7th several times a day racing their engines a driving very fast even when school is in session. The noise from these trucks is so loud that you can still hear them as the get to the down town area. Our neighborhood has complained to the owner and to individual drivers this past summer. The noise is a disruption and a nuisance.
At the intersection with S Fairview St and Patterson the lines on EB Patterson line up incorrectly with the yellow line for the left turn lane into Catalent. This causes EB traffic to go through the intersection and cross over the yellow into the left turn lane. This causes cars moving into the turn lane to swerve back out into the through lane or stay in the through lane waiting for cars to move back into their lane.
Regarding the Bloomington TRAFFIC STUDY; response to Beth Rosenbarger's comments regarding crashes and personal injury accidents at the recent Plan Commission meeting: Isn't it possible, the most crashes and personal injuries recorded in Bloomington happen on these one-way streets (Walnut & College and 3rd St. & Atwater), simply because they are the closest thing we currently have to city thoroughfares? I suspect these four streets/avenues are the mostly highly traveled each and every day, thus it is logical there will be more crashes where there is consistently more traffic! The frustration brought on by sitting/waiting in traffic behind busses and delivery vehicles, with no way around them on a two-way street, will most likely lead to crashes and personal injury, as well. Two-way streets are unlikely to result in fewer accidents and injuries. In fact, it may force traffic onto more side streets resulting in more injuries on side streets, as well.
10th Street crosswalk needs altered it makes 10th Street literally unpassible on campus slow is one thing un passable is another
