Buckled concrete in roundabout @ sare and rogers. It’s on the entrance going westbound on rogers by the storm water inlet
Trying to turn left from Clear Creek trailhead into Tapp road and from Weimer road left into Tapp road is gotten very dangerous with more traffic on Tapp road over the years. I park my car at clear creek parking lot and walk almost everyday and everyday I struggle with getting out of parking lot because most cars are driving 60 miles and sometimes over 80 miles and hour on that stretch of Tapp road. There are many 30 mile speed limit signs but hardly anyone drives under 50 miles and many drivers drive over 70 miles which is very dangerous and illegal. City should do something about it before serious car accident happens with kids involved. Maybe stop sign, traffic lights, or even speed bumps. Whatever makes it work to slow down the speed and make it more safe please. Meanwhile I think there should be regular police officers enforcing traffic laws. Thank you
People always drive dangerously fast on this road. The speed limit is 25, yet I usually see most drivers going 40 or above on this road, which is dangerous to my dogs and I. Maybe there could be speed bumps or other infrastructure to signal drivers to slow down.
From the left turn lane headed northbound on Henderson, thick utility wires are partially obscuring the traffic light.

The amount of simultaneous construction across the entirety of Bloomington has reached a truly ridiculous point. Driving anywhere in town has become a tumultuous, stressful mess. This widespread tearing up of major roads started well before summer, and instead of wrapping up, the gridlock has only gotten increasingly horrid. To make matters worse, the city failed to finish these projects before a massive drove of college students returned to town. Flooding our already broken, bottlenecked streets with thousands of extra drivers at the exact same time is a complete failure of planning that has made Bloomington practically undrivable.
Eastbound traffic disregarding the stop sign.
The active construction sites on both Second St and West Kirkwood are causing dangerous traffic flow concerns on Howe St. Traffic that would normally take those routes is now all flowing onto Howe St, which is a two-way street with only one-lane traffic flow, and street parking. Typically, Howe St. is not very active except for local traffic. However, traffic flow is nearly continuous from both directions. Today in particular, (8/17) there has been non-stop traffic flow and I have seen several almost collisions and cars are speeding very fast down the road from both directions. I would highly suggest resolving some of the active construction sites in the area so they are not all occurring simultaneously, or alleviate traffic flow issues by planning better detours. In multiple locations on this side of town, many detour signs simply re-route you to another active construction area. Definitely a safety issue as this is a small neighborhood with pets and pedestrians walking the streets most of the time, and most local homeowners are limited to street parking. Additional construction has also recently been added to 1st street, and S Rogers st also adding to the issue.
Incident Date and Time Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026 Time: Approximately 1:15 p.m. Incident Location Street Address / Intersection: E. 3rd St. and S. Woodscrest Drive (Bloomington, IN 47401) Specific Location Details: The incident occurred at the pedestrian crossing island/triangle on the south side of East 3rd Street, specifically crossing the pedestrian strip leading directly to the BTown Smoke Time corner (2500 E. 3rd St.). Description of Hazard / Incident While walking on the south sidewalk, pedestrians had already stepped off of the curb onto the painted lines of the crosswalk when the driver accelerated. Pedestrians had to stop abruptly in the middle of the street while the driver sped directly in front of them, passing mere inches from their bodies at a fast rate of speed. After nearly striking the pedestrians, the driver turned right and headed eastbound on East 3rd Street. This reckless disregard for pedestrian safety and yield signage created a severe and immediate life-safety hazard. Vehicle Description Color: White Style: Low-profile, modified sports car / Rear Features: Distinctive "widebody" style with very prominent, flared wheel casings sticking out over the rear tires; highly sloped, rounded trunk/rear end. I am not knowledgeable about cars, but looked expensive, clean paint, waxed, shiny. Other Identifiers: Extremely loud aftermarket exhaust system.
I understand that road maintenance and improvements are important and necessary, however, the amount of construction, road closures, and reduced traffic flows in Bloomington right now is out of hand. Our city is already seeing an increase in traffic demands as students return and it's going to get worse, however, full and partial road closures are increasing. This is a nightmare for people who live, work, and try to get their kids to school in this town but it reflects poorly on those new to Bloomington too. I can't hardly get my child to school, every time I try to find an alternative route, it's closed or down to one lane. Yesterday there was no sign even, just a person standing in the middle of 2nd and Walnut, without a stop sign or anything, which is obviously frustrating to drivers, but INCREDIBLY dangerous for that person. Grimes, Rogers, 2nd, Bloomfield, Kirkwood, Lincoln, Walnut-- there has to be better planning. Shutting down or reducing traffic on these key thorough fares from east to west and back, all in the same time period, has been terrible to deal with and it's dangerous. Please consider spreading work out in the future. I know it's not an easy job but I've lived here for 14 years and I've never seen it so bad as this. I don't want to go anywhere in town because it's a traffic disaster everywhere you turn and I know I'm in the majority. What does that do for our local businesses and university?
