There are frequently cars blowing through this intersection at 15-20mph. It’s true for most intersections in this area but this one seems particularly bad as well as dangerous given the high pedestrian traffic near the park. It would be great to see some targeted patrols here to send a message that you’re meant to stop at a stop sign.
Red Ford ‘Escort’ parked too close to intersection on the west side of Eastside Drive. Reduces visibility and turning safety.
I live on South Washington near Hillside, and I keep seeing people driving North (the wrong way). It has happened about 6 times just in the last week, and that's only with limited observation time. Either people are just turning the wrong way on purpose or they aren't seeing the "One-Way" sign. It's barely visible (very dirty and hard to see) on the East side of the street at the corner of S Washington and Hillside. Once people turn onto the street, there are no other signs to indicate they are going the wrong way. I'm concerned that there will be accidents if signage isn't improved.
Traveling south on Highland Ave there is an arrow sign on the left that points to the curve. The left side of the sign the screws are missing and it flaps a lot in the wind. Concerned it will fly off and hit someone or a car.
This is a chronic parking violation and unsafe situation for students and neighborhood residents. Every single school day there are 15-20 cars that are illegally parked on both sides of the road Wylie Farm Road by Henderson Street to pick up Bloomington South high school students at the end of the day. Twice I have tried to exit the neighborhood that way when I have had a medical appt and could not get through. There are students walking in the street and cars parked on both sides. It is dangerous for students and neighborhood resident drivers. The cars start parking the half hour or so before school release. There are no parking signs clearly displayed on both sides. City parking staff needs to go there daily to ticket these cars for awhile to get this to stop. I would also suggest parking and/or the police dept. contact the BHSS principle to send out communication to students and parents that this is an illegal parking area for student pick-up.
Stop sign needs to be replaced (or cleaned?). Stop sign on North East side of intersection is faded (dirty?)
Cars drive down 10th street at dangerous speeds. I would like to suggest that 10th street between Monroe St. and Cottage Grove Ave. be a one-way street, as it is not wide enough for two cars and people often drive very fast. There is also no sidewalk, and I am often using this street as a pedestrian.
ADA ramp piece no longer in place on NW corner of S. Maple and W. Third
During the construction of the new building on Kirkwood, the flow of traffic has been shifted. It is clearly marked on the road, but given that it is new, I think some kind of physical lane divider may be needed (like those posts that sometimes are put up to separate lanes of traffic). I drive through that area frequently, and it is clear that a number of drivers are caught by surprise/startled when they realize they are driving in what seems like head-on traffic to the other lane that has shifted. I am concerned that a minor accident is likely.
