17st is still shut down. 2 years this road has been shut down. Can anyone please explain why? This is beyond believable.

Greenery on south corner of 11th / Walnut obscuring vision of driver on 11th trying to move onto Walnut so that driver must move forward onto crosswalk and impede vehicles turning onto 11th from Walnut causing them to yell obscenities and ruin everyone's day.
The beginning of road work at E. Moore's Pike and Sare Road has created a very bad interruption to the flow of traffic. I am wondering if there would be a better way of achieving what the work is intending to achieve there. It is just too much disruption.
Union needs left turn signals at 10th. Step it up. Only in Bloomington are traffic backups sought. Multiprong transportation can work. I'm not voting for a late expansion or speed enhancement, simply reasonable slow flow on 10th
Good Morning, Today, right around 8:15 give or take a couple of minutes I was attempting to park in the Poplars Garage on 6th st. I came up Grant from 3rd St and turned right. There was no signage displayed stating that the road was closed, no sign out saying be prepared to stop, though I did see a sign peaking out from behind some equipment, but it was not set out and not visible. There was a concrete mixer in the middle of the road, but before I could try to turn around more cars pulled in behind me because that's when the majority of people arrive and this garage is very busy. I waited and waited. No one said anything, a guy waved a finger at me indicating it would be a minute, but we all sat there for over 15 minutes, unable to find an alternative parking spot, unable to do anything at all. Now, I have to stay late to try and make up the lost time, all because of this road being blocked. If I had known it was closed, if proper signage had been displayed, I would have driven to another parking area. I am incredibly frustrated. There were at least a dozen cars that pulled in to the garage behind me that I saw as I parked, so I know the street must have been backed up as well, possibly in multiple directions. I have absolutely no doubt that there were several people just like me who know have to make up lost time because they were unable to get to work to clock in even though they were a matter of feet from their destination. I would greatly appreciate it if you would express to this crew, that if they are going to block the road, signage should be displayed at that 4 way stop so that cars don't get stuck trying to access an inaccessible parking garage. And they should avoid blocking that area at all between 8-9AM and 4-5 if at all possible. I've spoken with many people who have had a similar experience. Everyone is trying to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous. Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint. -Holly
West 17th was not and currently is not scheduled to be closed March 31st. Signage in the area listed 4-4-19 and beyond only.
I pick my child up at tri north but it a safe hazard. Bus drivers almost hit cars every day. Road being blocked by cars parking on road with yellow curbs or 2 cars on both side of road making it dangerous to kids and drivers. Cars front of parking area on yellow curb maple and 11st. Cars making 2 way driving impossible entering blaire from 11 th. And 14th and Dyer. It would be nice to make one way so buses and traffic could go one direction.
The closed road sign is at the very end of the road for the north bound lane of rockport upon exiting Fullerton pike. I understand informing that the road is closed about 1 mile ahead, but its blocking safe access to the lane for anyone traveling to their homes in bachelor heights. I feel that it is unsafe and obstructing traffic.
The road closed barricade on Rockport (traveling southwest) and Rogers is too much in the road that buses and other large vehicles are having difficulty turning the corner from southbound Rogers onto Rockport when cars are at the intersection (on Rockport) waiting for the light. It is assumed that vehicles need to be up at the intersection in order to trip the light for Rockport travelers. Despite the closure, the road is heavily traveled due to the various neighborhoods and Summit Elementary (summer school?). Being a resident of the Adams Hill neighborhood, I travel through this intersection daily. If the barricade can be moved off the road more, that would be an easy fix. However I like that it makes it obvious to travelers that the road is closed, as I do not want even more traffic through our neighborhood than we already have. My suggestion is to alter the light-trip indicators. If the cars traveling northeast on Rockport can be further back to trip the light, it would allow cars to weave through the barricades in single file when it is their turn. This also means there should be a "No Turn on Red" for southbound Rogers. A solution would also need to allow for those in the neighborhood across Rogers to come through the light onto southbound Rockport. The traffic from that direction is minimal. My thought for those traveling from that direction would be to have their side trip individually and the lights would need to be green one direction at a time. If the closure was only for a month or two, it would not be much of an issue. However with the closure going until near the end of the year and school starting in August, this intersection will need addressed as the traffic (buses and parents) to and from Summit Elementary is quite measurable. Thanks for your consideration.
Please unblock this road it is ridiculous I live at 2738 S Pinehurst Dr and I have to drive though some neighborhood to get to my house. If you are trying to stop people from going through my neighborhood you are failing because people will just go through more neighborhood to get around the construction and can you blame them you have completely shut the south side of town down and you are going to send all the Jehovah’s Witnesses though my neighborhood now since you cut off the only direct access to their church.
