Unsafe condition at 14th and Fess due to parked cars.
Young man had an encounter w/yellow city truck #681 between 6th and 7th Streets on Walnut, at 11:10 a.m. on January 15. Citizen claims he honked at delivery truck blocking road and city truck driver parked, got out of truck, walked toward citizen's car, yelling obcenities and finally pounded on citizens truck hood, asking what he was doing. I notified Tom Staley and he investigated immediately, however, the action order system has been down and this could not be entered until now.
Poor/horrible visibility at the intersection of 4th and Jackson streets. If you are traveling on Jackson and needing to turn on 4th or cross 4th - you have to pull 1/2 way into the road to see around parked cars. I've witnessed several near accidents. Recommending a 4 way stop at this intersection.
Mark is requesting that the curb on the south side of their driveway be painted yellow approximately 15-30 feet back. It is very difficult for their drivers as well as customers to exit onto N. Walnut Street when cars are parked up to the drive. This may possibly eliminate 1 to 2 parking spaces.
Mr. Bailey called concerning the signs on N. Dunn. He said that there have been several accidents lately that have knocked down the signs on the curves. He also would like the City to pursue a correction for the road. He would support closing of Dunn in that area. He said to contact the new president of the Homeowners Assoc. Larry Grubb. He also stressed that brush along the road needs to be constantly trimmed.
Regarding the Bloomington TRAFFIC STUDY; response to Beth Rosenbarger's comments regarding crashes and personal injury accidents at the recent Plan Commission meeting: Isn't it possible, the most crashes and personal injuries recorded in Bloomington happen on these one-way streets (Walnut & College and 3rd St. & Atwater), simply because they are the closest thing we currently have to city thoroughfares? I suspect these four streets/avenues are the mostly highly traveled each and every day, thus it is logical there will be more crashes where there is consistently more traffic! The frustration brought on by sitting/waiting in traffic behind busses and delivery vehicles, with no way around them on a two-way street, will most likely lead to crashes and personal injury, as well. Two-way streets are unlikely to result in fewer accidents and injuries. In fact, it may force traffic onto more side streets resulting in more injuries on side streets, as well.
10th Street crosswalk needs altered it makes 10th Street literally unpassible on campus slow is one thing un passable is another
On the west side of Park Square Drive the weeds have got extremely tall. It is a real issue trying to pull out of Highland Park school is a very dangerous situation as you can’t see traffic coming from the North. Weeds are almost as tall as street signs also posing as a traffic hazard.
A significant portion of people traveling north or south on High St do not come close to a complete stop at E. Arden Dr.. Some blow it off, some seem surprised or forgot the stop is there and the rest are making the case for changing the name from "California stop" to "Hoosier stop". This stop may be technically outside of the school zone but kids do walk/ride to school along that stretch of road.
Orange barrels on Winslow. These barrels are restricting traffic. Been there a week. NO WORK. This is ridiculous.
