Incredibly horrible job on the intersection of Moore’s Pike and College Mall/Sare Rd. I suspect a bad accident in the near future due to nearly ZERO markings and incredibly narrow lanes. The school buses are unable to get around my tiny car heading west, and I have seen accidents occur nearly every time going north. Please fix this, it is a terrible waste of money. People WILL die or be injured.
The college ave and moores pike intersection is now horrible. What was wrong with the last intersection? The new walking path is really nice by renwick to the roundabout, but this intersection update was so unnecessary. It truly is a horrific intersection. You have two lanes going into one and you have to merge in the middle intersection. I have gotten into an accident almost every time going through here heading northbound to college mall.
Will the City work with Duke Energy and its contractors to properly manage traffic around the work of Duke de-beautifying Bloomington? The flaggers are not helpful and not managing traffic in an efficient way to keep people moving safely around the work. As a driver, you are just on your own to try to figure out what some person lazily waving a flag in the breeze intends for you to do, and go head-on against oncoming traffic who also has no clue what to do.
The pedestrian crossing at 10th Street and John Hinkle Place by Woodbridge apartments is very unsafe. I cross there every morning to get to the bus stop on the other side of the street. Cars don't slow down, and I've never had someone stop to let me cross before if though I'm waiting. They pick up speed on the slight hill in both directions. Could there be a flashing light, a pedestrian-triggered stoplight, or some other way of allowing safe crossings at that busy road to access the bus stop?
The traffic management by the company doing construction at the intersection of Henderson and Winslow is really frustrating. I know disruption is expected with construction, however, I would expect: 1. some clear signage, both in advance (there's nothing on Henderson/Walnut Pike)) as well as directing traffic (literally construction guys pointing fingers at this large, busy intersection with multiple turn lanes. Not effective or safe. And they have the audacity to yell at some of the cars not listening to their unclear pointing). 2. I would expect some respect to get traffic through when they can. I sat there for 10 minutes this morning when there was multiple instances where they were in between tasks and could have let us go for a few minutes, but they kept us waiting.
Please remove the confusing road closed and road closed ahead signage on Rogers street off of kinser pike, as the road is routinely open and causing traffic issues. All of this was supposed to be done prior to school beginning. When will the 17th street stuff with duke be finally completed? This town is causing construction fatigue as of late. Very worries about even more future re-routing and closures over long periods of time.
Multiple times I have witnessed near miss and possibly fatal accidents at the 2851 E Longview side parking on Pete Ellis. The angled parking is “back in only.” Traffic coming from the north on Pete Ellis doesn’t realize that people want to back-in. Traffic from the south who try to park have to make a 3 point turn. The road is too busy for this.
The stop signs along 7th got taken out over the summer and number of car accidents at the corner of 7th and Dunn has risen considerably. I get what you're going for with the straight shot through to campus, but I would appreciate if you'd reevaluate if it's worth it specifically at this one intersection. At first I thought people would get used to it and accidents would slow down, but this has not been the case. This spring the number of accidents has been RISING and there have been THREE ACCIDENTS in the last 48 hours. The sickening sound of crumping automobile plastic, going out to worry about injuries on the part of the involved parties, and having traffic stopped in front of my house on a weekly basis has made living here substantially worse. I think part of the problem is that this intersection REALLY looks like it should have a 4 way stop, and this can be seen by the frequency of drivers unnecessarily stopping on 7th, assuming they have a stop. Also, heading South on Dunn the turn is almost completely blind to the left and cars traveling quickly down 7th are given almost no chance to stop.
We just moved back to Bloomington after being overseas the past two years. In the two weeks here, at the traffic circle near our house there have now been three incidents where traffic just barrels into the circle at E. Rogers and S. Sare Rd. without caring about the traffic already in it. We have had to stop from being hit on two of these occasions, the other we observed. Is there any signage or other measure that can be done to make this intersection more safe? Thank you for any attention you can give to this.
There needs to be a roundabout or traffic light at Prow & Arlington, because it is a nearly daily issue, twice a day, because the intersection is an unprotected free-for-all PLUS inexperienced drivers.
