For motorists traveling south on Hawthorne, a 'long haired' bush on the north side of First St, just east of Hawthorne, obscures view of cars traveling west on First St. I travel this way each day and have had close calls when surprised by a westbound car as I was turning left on First when I thought it was clear to do so.
across the road from 1118 S. Woodlawn and along the fence line behind Carlisle Brake Plant there is weed/tree overgrowth blocks yellow pedestrian sign stating "20 MPH" zone south of Bryan Park and east of Templeton School zone.
Location 1008 E Thornton Dr.; Public safety/ traffic/ residential parking issue: Large amount of shoulder stone has eroded away due to to water run off from the street. Creating a large rut and beginning to undermine the edge of the steets pavement. (avg. 50'x1'x1') with the stone being washed towards Henderson St. then into the storm sewer system. This issue has been reported on multiple occasions over the last year by multiple residents.
Complaint of insufficient and unclear construction signage. Is making it difficult to get into parking lot where she works and sometimes forces her to take one way streets the wrong direction in order to access parking lot.
Temporary lane markings were left after construction of 7th street bike lane, but they appear to be incomprehensible to majority of traffic and are also peeling off of pavement. Westbound cars regularly drive in the left-side, oncoming lane, or directly in middle of both lanes. Either method is a hazard to eastbound traffic as well as westbound traffic turning left onto Dunn as cars in left lane will try to go straight past turning traffic. Temporary directional arrows were installed but seem to have made no improvement. Disaster waiting to happen.
New stop light at Rolling Ridge way had traffic on 2nd street backed up to The Eye Center at 5:10pm. Usually takes around 10 minutes for me to get home it was 20 due to the poor timing of the new light. There was a time around 5:20pm where the light was only green going down 2nd street for a minute before it turned red. Safety concern as well for ambulances trying to get down 2nd street (especially by the co-op where there is cement barriers in the middle of the road). Will be a huge concern when 37 (I-69) 2nd street ramps under construction in a few months.
Good Evening, Since the light at Ridgeway (I'm pretty sure that's the st, it's right in front of Twin Lakes Gym) and 2nd Street started working on Monday traffic in the morning, but especially in the evening, has been horrendous on 2nd St. It is now currently taking me about 40 minutes to get from the IU Campus to Eller Rd when leaving campus around 5:15. Traffic is bumper to bumper from 2nd and Rogers until after the new light. I feel like this is not just a ridiculous amount of traffic for a city the size of Bloomington, but that it is creating dangerous traffic situations. I'm afraid it's going to cause accidents. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Holly Hooper
Intersection of North/South Bryan Avenue and East 5th Street. Vehicles traveling in excess of posted speed limits, sometimes not stopping at the posted stop sign, and it is a school bus stop for Elementary Students. South Bryan Avenue also has an issue with vehicles speeding to get to the traffic light at South Bryan Avenue and East 3rd Street. There are several children that live on this street and people don't always see them unless an adult is standing/walking in the road with them. There are no true sidewalks and it is VERY unsafe for the children.
With students returning, I've noticed an uptick in traffic speeding down North Washington between 12th and 10th street. I feel like the problem is only going to increase as the new apartment building at 714 N Walnut is completed. With several children that play in the neighborhood, I'm concerned with their safety. Can traffic calming measures be investigated for this area?
Why isn't the 17th st roundabout finished? Please apply the final asphalt topcoat.
