Two lanes on Indiana Avenue seems excessive. There is never a lot of traffic here. I was in the left-most lane at Indiana Ave and 7th Street, and someone driving turned left from the right lane. I see this often because people don't know they are on one-way streets. It'd be easier if this is only one-lane northbound.
Resident complaint of accessibility and clearly marked closures in the 6th/7th Street repaving project. Quick observation looks like they have traffic control devices encroaching the crosswalk along Rogers and no closures posted at alleys causing confusion.
Experiencing visibility issues as a pedestrian at the W 6th St and B-Line Trail intersection. Cars parked in the diagonal spots in front of Le Petit Cafe block pedestrian visibility down the road to the west. Because of this, I can't fully see down the road for cars until I'm already in the road. It's particularly an issue when larger vehicles like vans and trucks are parked there. Cars do not always approach this crosswalk at a slow enough speed to slow down for the pedestrians who couldn't see them
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.
Delivery vehicle parked illegally in no passing zone during a busy hour of the morning. Traffic was forced to pass in the oncoming (Eastbound) lane in a no passing zone heading directly into an intersection with The B-Line Trail. Much of the oncoming traffic was large trucks, FWIW. Traffic was at times backed up to the light at College and Kirkwood. This was around 9:15am. I waited 10 or more minutes, staff seemed in no hurry to rectify the situation.
Constant stop sign violations with numerous near miss accidents. I have complained along time ago with no one addressing the situation.
I am writing to recommend adding signage to help reduce vehicle speeds at the intersection of W Bayles Road and N Northwoods Lane. This area frequently experiences traffic traveling above the posted speed limit, which creates a safety concern. Additionally, when turning east from N Northwoods Lane, visibility of oncoming traffic from the east is extremely limited. Adding signage or other measures would alert drivers traveling west on W Bayles Road that there is a hidden intersection ahead, improving overall safety. Could you advise if additional signage is possible or if Monroe County has other recommendations to address this issue? Thank you for your time and consideration.
On Monday, November 17, 2025 at approximately 1:48 PM, a City of Bloomington Parking Enforcement vehicle was parked directly in front of the air pump at Circle K, 527 E Third St, Bloomington, IN 47401, blocking public access to the equipment. This is not a designated parking space and the vehicle obstructed use of a paid utility intended for customers. I’ve attached photos showing the vehicle, its placement, and the blocked equipment. I’m submitting this so it can be documented and forwarded to the appropriate supervisor. City enforcement staff should be held to the same parking standards applied to the public. Thank you.
