Case Date:

Dangerous intersection at Euclid and Second street due to zero visibility caused by overgrown weeds. Turning either way is suicidal.

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.

Multiple times I have witnessed near miss and possibly fatal accidents at the 2851 E Longview side parking on Pete Ellis. The angled parking is “back in only.” Traffic coming from the north on Pete Ellis doesn’t realize that people want to back-in. Traffic from the south who try to park have to make a 3 point turn. The road is too busy for this.

W 7th St & N Morton St, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA

Case Date:
7/13/2023

Drivers who have the right away in the intersection, traveling East or West bound, do not know the stop signs have been removed and is now only a two way stop. Drivers will sit in the intersection confused for 2-5 minutes at a time, when they could continue their travel given the right away. There needs to be some sort of signage to signal that east and westbound traffic does not need to stop at the intersection.

The stop signs along 7th got taken out over the summer and number of car accidents at the corner of 7th and Dunn has risen considerably. I get what you're going for with the straight shot through to campus, but I would appreciate if you'd reevaluate if it's worth it specifically at this one intersection. At first I thought people would get used to it and accidents would slow down, but this has not been the case. This spring the number of accidents has been RISING and there have been THREE ACCIDENTS in the last 48 hours. The sickening sound of crumping automobile plastic, going out to worry about injuries on the part of the involved parties, and having traffic stopped in front of my house on a weekly basis has made living here substantially worse. I think part of the problem is that this intersection REALLY looks like it should have a 4 way stop, and this can be seen by the frequency of drivers unnecessarily stopping on 7th, assuming they have a stop. Also, heading South on Dunn the turn is almost completely blind to the left and cars traveling quickly down 7th are given almost no chance to stop.

1413 S Dunn ST

Case Date:

Please make South Dunn Street between Grimes and Hillside One-Way only, Northbound. This is a very narrow street. Oftentimes, traffic travels through here at a high rate of speed. If there is more than one car traveling on the street at a time in opposite directions, we frequently have to pull to the side into parking (if room) or one car has to either stop at an intersection to allow the car to pass, OR one of the cars have to back up into a parking space or another intersection to let another car pass. PLEASE consider making my street a one-way street Northbound which would align with the only available parking spaces on the side of the street. THANK YOU! :-)

1525 E 7th St, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA

Case Date:

Ever since the city created the bike lane on east seventh street between Walnut and the University the street has become a drag strip. Stop signs were taken away and people are traveling at excessive speeds. The condition has become exacerbated by an increase flow of bike traffic at various times of day. A person traveling north on Lincoln to safely cross must now watch the high speed vehicle traffic, the pedestrian traffic as well as the bike traffic. Visually it is a very difficult task to take in all of the information at the same time and the problem is that it is difficult to take in the bike lane when you are looking across the street at the pedestrian and high speed traffic. Bikers heading east come over the hill from Walnut and accelerate into the intersection. The curbs are extremely high and one cannot enter seventh street from Grant heading west without turning into the oncoming traffic lane or hitting the curb and damaging tires. On Monday I approached Seventh and Lincoln from the south around five o’clock pm. There was so much activity I missed a biker traveling west. I missed the person because there was simply too much to watch. Yesterday I made the decision to stop crossing Seventh St altogether because it was just too dangerous. I took a route that brought me from the west into the intersection. The city has now placed crosswalks without any warning signs of change all around the university and now pedestrians are no longer waiting for traffic to clear before attempting to cross and are now entering the crosswalks into the traffic flowing east and west with the expectation that it will stop, effectively a stop without a stop time. As I approached from the west to turn north onto Lincoln the east and westbound traffic had completely stopped for the cross walkers. Five persons on scooters zoomed into the intersection from south Lincoln and crossed through the stopped traffic. A six scooter, a straggler followed, suit entering right at the point when it had appeared to have cleared. These people should have been governed like the rest of cross traffic but instead acted effectively as pedestrians. Obviously no one was looking for them and they were traveling at a speed closer to a car than a pedestrian or biker. A dangerous situation has now been worsened by an intervention. We have spoken to the police officers in the neighborhood and obviously they cannot conceivably be there to do the work that traffic sign regulation had accomplished effectively for years. I can no longer move directly in my neighborhood because it is simply too dangerous. I am going out of my way to avoid the dangers and still cannot do that safely because of the chaos. We are going to see a scooter death or a bicyclist death if something is not done to prevent it. At least the City will be on notice when the lawsuit follows.
