There is a road construction sign sitting to the right of the exit from the plaza (3rd and college mall) between German American bank and HuHot Mongolian Restaurant. This sign is obstructing view when using this exit and is not safe for people pulling out onto busy 3rd street. Please move it.

On Schacht Road, coming TOWARD Fairfax, one of the yellow arrows is pointing the wrong way. It's a 90 degree turn, and someone could drive off the road if they follow the sign as is. Also a number of street signs in Admiral Glen have been knocked off.
The light for traffic crossing Rt 45 and Leonard Springs Road needs to be lengthened. Many run the red light there to attempt to get across.
Traffic flow and people blowing stop signs.

Rolled up on some college kids trying to steal the sign at High & Woodstock...again.
Cars routinely stop or stand in the bike lane on Third Street anywhere between Jordan and Indiana Avenues. This forces bikes into the "car" travel lanes and makes a dangerous situation for everyone--all at the cost of inconsiderate, and frankly lazy, motorists who are waiting to pick up friends from class. Bloomington and IU Parking Enforcement is unable to do anything about this epidemic since these vehicles are not actually "parked," but instead standing or stopped. IUPD and BPD don't do anything about it because I'm sure there are more important things going on out there that deserve their attention. The presence of some physical barriers or police enforcement would be effectively in keeping cars out of the bike lanes. Vince Carristo emailed me about a year ago stating that the City was looking into physical barriers, but I haven't seen anything deployed. Thanks for your help. Without doing something about cars standing in the bike lanes, Third Street isn't really a viable bicycle route--at least during the day on weekdays.
