Hi There I'm normally not one to complain, especially about a city in which I love and have been apart of since I was a small child. However, the traffic situation on west 3rd street, primarily on the overpass of 37, has reached a point that is nonsensical. This morning, 3/20/2018, the overpass was down to one lane while no one was working on it. It took me 35 minutes to drive .2 miles and caused me to be late to work. I'm all for keeping the infrastructure of this city up to date, but when it takes me 35 minutes to drive a 1000 feet for no legitimate reason, that's when I have a problem. They have been working on the bridge for what seems like 6 months now without much improvement. I hope to see some improvement soon. Sincerely, Greg Lovig

Every morning I travel from the west side of Bloomington to the east side and notice numerous drivers disobeying the traffic sings posted at the intersection of Curry and IN 46. There are 4 arrows, 2 for turning left and 2 for turning right, there are 2 signs posted for the right turns that states, NO TURN ON RED. However, every morning at least 1 person still insists on turning right on the red arrow. Today it was 1 person, yesterday it was 4 drivers. They are turning on red regardless which lane they are in. If we are going to allow the turn on red then please remove the sign. If no one should be turning on the red arrow then maybe the sign needs changed to say right turn on green arrow or police need to start giving out tickets. It is unsafe to allow drivers to make up their own rules.

I live on the southwest side of Bloomington, off of Tapp Road west of 37. I know you are aware of the traffic trials we have had and continue to have. 2nd St & 3rd St are severely restricted and consistently backed up, even at off times. Tapp Rd has been closed forever, and if you try to access the south side via Fullerton Pike, Country Club is closed AND now Gordon/Rhorer is shut down by Kroger. So you have to drive way out of the way no matter where you go, and everyone else is pushed that way too. We've all been driving twice as far, and twice as long EVERY TIME we go anywhere. Will we be receiving credits for our gas and wear and tear? No. ALL THAT BEING SAID, now you are going to shut down the eastbound lane of Grimes between Walnut and Rogers!? So 2nd street and 3rd street and Country Club and South Walnut/Gordon Pike are all severely restricted or closed and the city is shutting down another east/west road? I'm sorry to be so harsh, but it feels like you're just giving us the middle finger now. This would never happen on the other side of town and it's not okay. At least wait until Country Club is open. I understand that projects SOMETIMES overlap. Not all of them at the same time in the same location. So it was poorly planned without a contingency plan other than "deal with it". If it's a cost issue, think of all the extra tax money that has been received due to the extra gas and repairs we've purchased. If the city cares at all about west-siders, please don't shut down Grimes until Country Club is open. It's bad enough that as soon as Country Club opens, the Rockport/Tapp intersection will be closed and we'll have to cut through the neighborhoods there. Please, start/finish a project in some other part of the city. I know that the "you" in my message is not the you who first reads this, but I really hope you will pass it along to those who make the decisions- those who obviously don't live on the SW side of town. Thank you very much.

The choice to perform all of this traffic now was poorly made. If the city knew that I-69 was going to be built over 3-4 years ago, why did they not string all of these projects out over that time frame? Who is responsible?

When traveling north on Curry Pike and planning to turn left (west) onto Vernal Pike the light has been changed to a “left turn on arrow only.” This is very annoying and seems unnecessary as you can see oncoming southbound traffic just fine. It makes no sense that a much busier interaction a mile south at 3rd & Curry Pike allows you turn left on flashing yellow but this light with much less traffic does not. Please consider changing this back to allow cars to turn on yellow flashing arrow. Thank you

There needs to be a traffic circle or something at Prow and Arlington because it is a nearly daily issue at the intersection - unprotected and inexperienced drivers. -Sam Dove, samudove@gmail.com
