Northeast corner of Washington and Grimes. This tall grass makes it very difficult to see traffic coming south on Washington, pedestrians, cyclists. The grass is 6 or 8 ft tall and very wide. It needs to be trimmed and removed.
Speeding cars going 2 to 3 times the speed limit from Bloomfield rd Down Allen st this is happening 0645 to 0700 M-F one car is peach colored and with school starting soon the buses will be on the road. also around 2300 similar speeding
The stop light going north and south is ridiculously short. We need more time to let all the cars through. Sometimes the light goes three times before we can go through it.
When turning left out of the B-Line trailhead on W Country Club Drive, the visibility is blocked by foliage just off the sidewalk. This makes it very difficult to see the oncoming traffic, and could cause an accident. The solution is straightforward, trim back the foliage that is blocking the line of sight.
Police car 1223 drove past the radar on Atwater at 36 mph (without its emergency lights on) at approximately 9am on 8/4. This is 11 mph over the posted speed limit in a high traffic pedestrian area.
I cannot fathom why, every year, Bloomington literally decides to wait until the very first day of school to start a construction project on any main road leading to a school. Does that sound smart to you?? To ensure that all major roads leading to schools are down to one lane on the first day, almost certainly causing not only students to run late but parents late to work and likely more accidents??? Does that sound smart to yall?? It must because we’ve got construction on 10/bipass, bethel, and N walnut. Do. Better.
When driving north on Harold St to 10th street there is a large shrub, on private property at 404 10th St , that blocks the view for the turn onto 10th. My family has now had several close traffic wrecks at that intersection. Can that shrub be cut back or removed by either owner or city? Thanks
I live in the Allen Valley subdivision off West Allen Street. Many mornings - especially around 7:30-8:30 - there is a lot of speeding traffic of cars coming off W Bloomfield Road onto Allen Street. Our access to Allen Street is at the bottom of a hill, and cars will often come from Allen Street going at least 40 mph. There's not much time to brake going that fast if someone is pulling out of our subdivision, and I've had a couple close encounters leaving in the mornings. Now with school starting, a school bus may be doing a pick-up and stopped at our addition and a car coming in fast may cause an accident. The same thing can happen coming off Ransom Lane onto Allen Street as well - the hill obstructs the view of cars turning off Ransom onto Allen. I travel east on Allen Street every weekday morning. It seems a lot of the traffic goes to Novo Nordisk, so I'm guessing the increased traffic is from the employees headed to a morning shift. I'm wondering if an officer could occasionally come and watch that traffic on weekday morning to help slow things down. Thank you!
