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.
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.
We just moved back to Bloomington after being overseas the past two years. In the two weeks here, at the traffic circle near our house there have now been three incidents where traffic just barrels into the circle at E. Rogers and S. Sare Rd. without caring about the traffic already in it. We have had to stop from being hit on two of these occasions, the other we observed. Is there any signage or other measure that can be done to make this intersection more safe? Thank you for any attention you can give to this.
There needs to be a roundabout or traffic light at Prow & Arlington, because it is a nearly daily issue, twice a day, because the intersection is an unprotected free-for-all PLUS inexperienced drivers.
Cut through traffic heavy heavy heavy on Morningside with closure on 3rd. That the designated route? Please provide signs for detour if not. Also please assign police officer to monitor now and again in construction. As speeding through neighborhood. Thank you.
Thanks but I see done going outside of the parking place markings into a lane of traffic.

With that in mind, the water-filled barricades are not being used as traffic control devices, but rather as a physical delineation between the seating and the road itself.
new Greenway bump outs are fine. anyone hitting them is clearly going too fast and not paying enough attention. don't add unnecessary light pollution with more reflectors. people need to look
