Bloomington- *does absolutely nothing all summer* Bloomington the first week of school 9:00am: *25 men with signs and cones block off 6 main roads for an hour pretending to do stuff and everyone is 30 mins late to school and work Bloomington 10:00am-3:00 pm: *nothing* Bloomington 3:30 pm-4:30pm: *gets back out the 25 men and cones, proceeds to block off every main road in town.* I mean cmon guys. This is our tax money. Do better.
I frequently see cars cutting through the Dunkin’ Donuts parking to bypass the traffic light at the intersection of S., College, Mall Rd. and the IHOP parking lot.
The people who drive cars in this town are typically rude and dismissive of common decency. They constantly speed, even on residential streets; they drive on sidewalks and bike lanes even when there are people present; they drive at night without lights on; they drive drunk; they *often* drive the wrong way on one-way streets; and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. There was an accident recently where a driver hit a cyclist and drove away: https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2023/07/18/police-seek-hit-and-run-driver-of-ford-150-that-struck-bicyclist/70422419007/. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives when they walk or bicycle, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and ban cars from our streets? Thank you.
You have a crosswalk with a planter. The huge sidewalk you are putting in has made the road too narrow. You should make the crosswalk planter small so the road is not too narrow. Will the new, much narrower road meet the width requirements? Seems like this is just going to create accidents and the city is being negligent.
I was walking with my three children under 10 and my dog this Sunday, November 29th and was crossing Arden and High and an individual driving far over the speed limit acknowledged but blew right through the stop sign heading north on high. This is a repeated pattern and puts my children who live at 1800 S. Oxford Pl. highly at risk as they use that cross walk to get to school and southeast park. Don’t know the solution but someone is going to get hurt.
Dunkin' Donuts drive-through traffic backs up into and blocks intersection
A pedestrian just died from a vehicle strike at Park Ridge and 3rd. Please don't let the residential street of Morningside be next, treated by many cars similarly to 3rd. Writing to remind that though there may be less walking and biking in the winter months that it still happens and is more dangerous as often darker and with cars less vigilant. Please move forward with traffic calming as soon as possible for Park Ridge East. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to the day when our kids can bike and play as we could when we were younger. We may not be able to play street hockey like we used to in the street but hoping we can at least learn to ride our bikes on it.
Very high speeds on residential streets. Family dog was hit, children almost hit on neighborhood Road.
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.
