Temporary lane markings were left after construction of 7th street bike lane, but they appear to be incomprehensible to majority of traffic and are also peeling off of pavement. Westbound cars regularly drive in the left-side, oncoming lane, or directly in middle of both lanes. Either method is a hazard to eastbound traffic as well as westbound traffic turning left onto Dunn as cars in left lane will try to go straight past turning traffic. Temporary directional arrows were installed but seem to have made no improvement. Disaster waiting to happen.

New stop light at Rolling Ridge way had traffic on 2nd street backed up to The Eye Center at 5:10pm. Usually takes around 10 minutes for me to get home it was 20 due to the poor timing of the new light. There was a time around 5:20pm where the light was only green going down 2nd street for a minute before it turned red. Safety concern as well for ambulances trying to get down 2nd street (especially by the co-op where there is cement barriers in the middle of the road). Will be a huge concern when 37 (I-69) 2nd street ramps under construction in a few months.

Good Evening, Since the light at Ridgeway (I'm pretty sure that's the st, it's right in front of Twin Lakes Gym) and 2nd Street started working on Monday traffic in the morning, but especially in the evening, has been horrendous on 2nd St. It is now currently taking me about 40 minutes to get from the IU Campus to Eller Rd when leaving campus around 5:15. Traffic is bumper to bumper from 2nd and Rogers until after the new light. I feel like this is not just a ridiculous amount of traffic for a city the size of Bloomington, but that it is creating dangerous traffic situations. I'm afraid it's going to cause accidents. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Holly Hooper

Intersection of North/South Bryan Avenue and East 5th Street. Vehicles traveling in excess of posted speed limits, sometimes not stopping at the posted stop sign, and it is a school bus stop for Elementary Students. South Bryan Avenue also has an issue with vehicles speeding to get to the traffic light at South Bryan Avenue and East 3rd Street. There are several children that live on this street and people don't always see them unless an adult is standing/walking in the road with them. There are no true sidewalks and it is VERY unsafe for the children.

With students returning, I've noticed an uptick in traffic speeding down North Washington between 12th and 10th street. I feel like the problem is only going to increase as the new apartment building at 714 N Walnut is completed. With several children that play in the neighborhood, I'm concerned with their safety. Can traffic calming measures be investigated for this area?

There is a road construction sign sitting to the right of the exit from the plaza (3rd and college mall) between German American bank and HuHot Mongolian Restaurant. This sign is obstructing view when using this exit and is not safe for people pulling out onto busy 3rd street. Please move it.

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.

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.
