This is following up on a previous complaint. I am using a separate filing because I could not figure out how to reply to the last one. The traffic patterns at the intersection of 10th and Range Rd facilitate dangerous maneuvers by motorists, which put at risk other motorists and pedestrians. There are two lane options on 10th going east and west: right turn only or straight/left turn only. The light is only indicates 'Go' and there are no arrow lights. When a motorist wants to turn left coming from either direction on 10th, it blocks all straight bound traffic. Right turns are much rarer at this intersection, so the right turn only lane is completely open. Some motorists choose to use this lane to go straight through the intersection and blow through nearly hitting turning vehicles that are patiently waiting their turn to go. Backed up traffic creates a blind spot for the left turning vehicle and they often do not see the oncoming vehicle attempting to go straight in the right only lane. Every day there are close encounters. To make matters more difficult, the bus stop is immediately adjacent to this intersection on both sides of 10th, causing even more close encounters. This is a high traffic intersection at all times of the day, but particularly in the morning and evening during rush hours.

People daily continue to zip through stop signs going north and south at Smith and Morningside. It is dangerous. PLEASE can the City add flashing lights to the stop signs at least the Smith ones, paint the crosswalks back and/or something to help enforce people properly stopping there . Thank you!!

What is the plan to address the literal impassability of 10th street across campus during the day? It is insane the City allows that road block to continue. Any what is the plan to overall approve east west vehicle traffic across town? Ideally multilane options. Again, insane. Would actively recommend not moving to or working in Bloomington due to traffic problems here. I love Bloomington promotes walking, biking, scooters, etc. But the solution is not making life hell for drivers often limited in options. Someone needs to get their act together. This is not ok.

There need to be more signs in the direction opposite one-way traffic that indicate "Wrong Way" or "No entry" for streets perpendicular to 6th Street. Too many people have been driving the wrong way down 6th Street and it is really dangerous. If a person is unfamiliar with the area, there is limited signage that indicates they are driving the wrong way down 6th until they come in contact with another car.

Just south of the railroad bridge over N College, cars are routinely parked in the bike lane, requiring cyclists to swerve into the car lane to get around the parked car. This is dangerous! Please repaint the yellow curb. If you can't because of the weather, please post a temporary no-parking sign there until you can. Thanks!

People REPEATEDLY drive up Washington between 10th and 12th going the wrong direction (it is a one-way street going south). The problem has increased this summer. I see at least one driver a day. Is there any way to mark the one-way nature of the street better? There is no obvious signage.

At the intersection of Allendale and Walnut Street Pike there are several evergreen trees/bushes that make it nearly impossible to see the traffic coming north on Walnut St Pk and results in many cars pulling in out into cross traffic in a dangerous way. The trees are on private property on the south side of the intersection.
