Barbara Daniels called to inform us that the intersection of Third and Walker is obstructed by large shrubs, trees, and a tall fence that make it unable for motorists to see to get onto Third. She wasn't sure of the private residence's address, but wanted the City to do something about it.
The corner of Winslow Drive and Allendale Drive has many reflective "stick" posts that are bolted to the street that are damaged or missing. These are in the eastbound lane of Winslow when turning south onto Allendale. Can these be repaired or replaced? Alternatively, since a dedicated right-turn lane exists at this intersection for turning south onto Allendale, can these posts be removed so the right-turn lane can be used again? Why was it determined that the right-turn lane can’t be used any longer? If the right-turn lane cannot be used, can that pavement be removed and the land converted to grass or a landscape bed?
Complaint of insufficient and unclear construction signage. Is making it difficult to get into parking lot where she works and sometimes forces her to take one way streets the wrong direction in order to access parking lot.
Traffic on East Wylie St very fast, potential hazards, while a lot of kids are living (and playing) in this street. Need for better signalization, lower speed limit, speed cushions or bump-outs to reduce motor vehicle speeds (inspired by the East Allen Street Greenway project?)

Mr. Craig would like to have speed humps installed on Thomson Park Drive. There are no stop signs on this stretch of road from Countryside Lane to the Park area. People speed through this area and it will be worse now that the children are out of school.
There is a big growth of bushes/trees/grasses something of that sort in the creek between Sheridan and Southdowns right at the intersection with Woodlawn. When you are at the stop sign on Sheridan, it is tough to see pedestrians, children, and cyclists who are heading to the park. Also, it is tough to see traffic coming from the south on Woodlawn because of the foliage. It certainly needs cut back.
Drivers are constantly running the stop signs at Sheridan/Southdowns and Woodlawn intersection. I see it personally every single day. This is also a pedestrian crossing area and someone is bound to get hit someday.
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.
When stopped on Adam Hill St to make a right or left hand turn on Country Side you can not see oncoming traffic because of tree foliage. I request that the trees on Country Side street be trimmed to allow motorist to see oncoming traffic. This intersection is in a school zone.
