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.
I drive through the Moore’s Pike/Sare Rd/ College Mall Rd intersection every time I am out and about. The north-south lanes are now so narrow and NOT aligned well at all. No matter how hard I think about how to be in the correct lane, my choice is almost always wrong. Plus when going north it is almost impossible to stay in the right lane in order to turn right into Kroger -you have to change lanes, when it should be a go straight lane. This intersection worked very well prior to these ‘ improvements.’ DANGEROUS!!! Plus no left turn arrows yet!!!
Many of the very many dump trucks going north/south on Monroe St., around the roundabout, and west/east on 17th St. are speeding (not just 6 miles over); many need to get their exhaust pipes fixed (very noisy); and many are polluting--so violating speed, noise, and environmental regulations. Plus, stone, bits of concrete, etc. are dropping off their trucks, particularly in and around the roundabout. I think--but don't know for sure--that the trucks are going in/out of the Tri-North Middle School project. They are different trucking companies (some worse than others), including A+ Performance, Crider, Burke, and Young. Can something be done?
Backups on N. Smith continue for left turners. Particular concern that the State is not putting in a signal at 10th and Smith with new eastside developments. Left turners from N. Smith already yield instead of stop, creating dangers, because of inability to frankly stop due to small gaps in traffic. A signal or other traffic measure for safe left turns from N. Smith is needed. People will be using that gateway to get to the new hospital site. Same with buses. May be State intersection but City needs to advocate appropriately. Plenty of capacity exists on 10th, IF you can get onto it. Correct this danger before needless deaths occur.
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.
