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

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.

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!

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.

I live on the Waterman section of W. 8th Street. A few years ago, before the city repaved our road, there were yellow center lines and also marked roadside parking spaces. When will the city repaint those lines? It has been a few years already. We have an issue of people speeding on our road, which they do by driving down the center of it regardless of oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists. I think the speeding was less of an issue back when the road lines were painted because those lines prevented people from driving down the middle of the road like they do now. I think repainting the center lines and the parking spot lines, we could actually solve the speeding problem.

7th Street, east of campus, has a stretch where the foliage of a yard has overgrown into the eastbound bicycle lane. (At some points during the summer, it was long enough to brush the sides of vehicles NOT in the bike lane).
This causes bicycles to veer out into the single vehicular traffic lane, and I've seen several near misses.

The timing on the lights at Covenanter and College Mall Road have
been changed and it is creating a huge traffic jam. The lights for traffic on Covenanter have been shortened to approximately 5 seconds for the left turn and 12 seconds for the green light. Please retime these lights immediately.
