I am concerned about the parking on the west side of N. Maple Street near 11th Street. There seem to be "No Parking" signs all along N. Maple Street from 17th Street until you get close to 11th Street and then they are missing. This is quite dangerous as the school buses and city buses leaving the area traverse Maple Street as do cars. There are a few cars that park almost directly at the stop sign significantly hindering traffic flow and causing danger, in my opinion. I appreciate your looking into the safety of our city streets.

hi! first, i'm wondering what's up with the striping on third street between Jordan and Indiana Ave(by campus and frats). The left lane striping has been moved about a foot to the left, off center, narrowing the lane substantially; ie, off mid-way between the two lanes, confusing to drivers. I almost got into an accident, who swerved into my lane, no signal, I believe mostly since the lane markings have been manipulated and are unsafe and unclear. Second: you guys did a fantastic job on the bypass expansion. Now, there needs to be markers at all the medians and intersections that have newly installed medians. At night, this is a nightmare, ie, making a turn and not seeing the island. There are no markers for the medians. There are numerous examples of this all over town, predominantly related to bypass expansion though. So, for example, all along the bypass, between 3rd and College/Walnut intersection. There are no signs that a median exists and to remain right of center. These are needed up and down 3rd street, near Woodscrest/high, and downtown near 3rd and college/walnut. Its impossible to see the median at night; there is no yellow paint, no markings indicating any kind of median, making it very unsafe. This also includes needing a sign at Clarize, heading North, past the stop sign, behind Kmart, where the road splits and the island begins. There is no sign indicating an island and to stay to the right at the split. Thank you for making our roads safer by considering these safety measures. Jay

We leave in a neighborhood with a dead end street called South Covey. Many people speed while driving on this street ignoring and disobeying the speed limit sign. It is very dangerous to be spending time with our kids outside our house when people are driving by extremely fast. Some bushes cause blind spots to drivers and pedestrians which can easily cause an accident if not paying attention. There are six families (including mine) who have two kids each. Some of the kids are toddlers, some are 4-7 years old and are still learning to cross the street. Our neighbors and I have been discussing different preventive measures to avoid an accident because of the lack of signs to let drivers know that children are playing in this neighborhood. I'm writing to request a sign that will let drivers know that children are playing constantly. A sign that will keep our children safe and where they can enjoy outdoor activities in our neighborhood. A "Slow, Children" sign will be effective so drivers can drive slow and watching out for children playing. Also, we want to request a speed bump so drivers slow down every time they pass this street and be more cautious of their surroundings. My neighbors, family and I will greatly appreciate if you can take immediate action in this situation. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, Adriana Spencer (915) 727-4265

Need to clearly mark traffic lanes on 3rd street heading west thru Dunn Street intersection - it appears as one wide lane since the bike lane was marked and there are two lanes of traffic, in a curve. Thank you.

I work at IU at 201 N Indiana in the "International Programs" building. Cars go the wrong way ALL of the time & it's so dangerous. Using either images or words, I suggest 2 "Do not enter" signs on the back of the 2 stop signs on Indiana at 7th, a "Left only" (or 'not right') sign on 6th at Indiana, & "Do not enter" on the back of the stop signs on 6th at Indiana. Happy to explain more. Deb

As a resident on the east side of Bloomington, I often find myself on 10th street because it is a main artery through town. I've always wondered why there isn't a designated left turn lane with a left arrow traffic light to help the traffic flow at the intersection at 10th and Pete Ellis. The designated lanes are as follows. Left turn/Straight and a right turn lane. People who turn left aren't able to do so easily because it's a busy street and people who wait behind them are forced to try to re-enter the traffic flow because other cars decide to use the right turn lane to go straight. Unless I'm mistaken, creating your own lane of traffic is frowned upon, so I'm constantly frustrated by the fact that I sit patiently in the left/straight lane behind a car waiting to turn, and then as I'm entering the intersection, have to watch out (yielding to cars that have decided to go around the situation) to avoid getting sideswiped. Perhaps the city developers could look at this particular problem and re-designate the lanes or use resources to get a new light with a left turn arrow. I can't be the first person to have complained about the safety of this intersection.

Please consider putting a traffic signal in at the pedestrian crosswalk near 10th and Fee on IU's campus. The continuous stream of students regularly causes traffic backups 20 minutes long. Today, I watched my bus take 15-20 minutes to traverse about a half mile just because there was no way to make the thousands of students crossing the street at that point pause. Only one cr can cross the crosswalk at a time, because it is a lucky breat when there is more than a 3 second break in the stream of pedestrians. Please address this so that it won't take me 45 minutes to drive two miles.

I suggest a camera at the corner of High and Maxwell Lane. We live on the dead end of Maxwell Lane and cars run the 4 way stop multiple times a day. It is very dangerous! Cities use cameras so you don't need an officer sitting there all day. It would also be profitable for the city and no one would run that stop sign twice if they received a $100.00 fine in the mail!!!!!!

With the closure of Walnut Street Pike the amount of traffic (and speeders) going down Jaime Ln/Heather Dr as an unlisted detour is making the neighborhood less safe. Can the city please install temporary speed bumps?
