Traffic from 5:00 - 6:30 on Banta is very dangerous due to lack of sidewalks and cars attempting to bypass traffic on W Country Club by driving up Banta, turning left onto Ralston, then turning to Rockport, then West onto Country Club. This leads to cars driving very fast up Banta. I would have submitted this as a "Close Call," as I was nearly hit twice. Once while pulling into my driveway, and again while picking up my mail. I believe a 4-way stoplight, with preference for W. Country Club, would be a good solution to the current 4-way stop sign which I believe generates these patterns. If there were no advantage to cutting through the neighborhood, the number of people doing so would decrease. Another solution would be to position speed cameras, or police officers to identify reckless drivers and begin ticketing more extensively in the neighborhood. However, those solutions are more temporary.

The bypass has been very congested as of late. It has been taking an extremely long time to drive from 10th & Bypass to highway 37. This has never been an issue before and there can't be that many more people coming to and from Bloomington. It seems maybe the lights are off since law enforcement change the lights for traffic flow after athletic events. Please advise. Thank you!

Speeding on Winston Street, Hyde Park Cars just zoom down the hill from Winston to Sare Road. Can the speed limit be enforced? There are small children who play in this neighborhood.

Since the traffic light on 2nd (Bloomfield) and Oakdale Square has been changed it has been creating quite the backup for cars attempting to turn onto Bloomfield. It appears that the lights are now timed to 37, which means that cars driving on Bloomfield speed through the Oakdale square light going much faster than 40. Further, it is now common to see more than 7 cars waiting to turn left onto Bloomfield from Oakdale drive. This creates a backup for those turning left and turning right. The old timing pattern worked sufficiently in that it slowed down the traffic on Bloomfield which regularly goes faster than 40, and it was easier to get on the road from Oakdale. Please consider untying that light to the 37 intersection.

Spot lights are poorly timed going both east away from Curry Pike along Third St and mostly west toward Curry Pike. Please fix and make traffic flow more easily along Third St, especially going west. And also especially at Third and Curry going east after 4 p.m.

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.

Heading south (up the hill) on N. Blue Ridge Dr, I want to turn left onto E. Blue Ridge Dr. The shrubs are so dense that I cannot see oncoming traffic. Photo is standing on E. BRD; I would be approaching from the right and aiming to turn left.
