901-903 East Hunter Avenue

Case Date:

I frequently travel N and S on Hunter, and it is very, very difficult because of street parking to see whether there is oncoming traffic at this Woodlawn intersection. (There are other similar situations in the neighborhood, but this one is particularly bad.) it would be wonderful if there were convex traffic mirrors to be able to see around the corner. These are commonly used in low-visibility corners in Europe, and can be highly effective.

903 N Smith RD

The intersection at north 10th, Smith road, and Russell road is one of the most dangerous in Bloomington. I believe there needs to be a traffic light there to allow people to turn from Smith Road. It's almost impossible for drivers coming off Smith Road to turn either right or left onto 10th or Russell, especially during rush hour traffic. Visibility is poor because 10th street curves in unusual ways at that intersection, and none of the two-way traffic wants to yield. Bus traffic from 10th Street compounds the problem. Thanks for helping!!

Has the city considered installing a protected bike lane on 3rd street? Particularly between Jordan Ave and Indiana Ave. I just drove by and there were TWO Semi-tractor trailers parked in the lane and a sedan parked in the lane. It really reflects poorly on the city that you put in useless white paint and nothing to actually protect people from vehicles. I never bother to use the bike lanes for this reason, you never know when you'll have to keep re-entering vehicle traffic.

930 N Smith RD

Case Date:

The intersection of 10th and N. Smith Road during peek traffic hours gets backed up for those coming from the south on N. Smith Road. Because of the long line of traffic, entrances to the Meadow Smith Apartments get blocked, and I'd imagine it makes things a bit more difficult for the gas station there as well. Has the city entertained the idea of making that a three way stop rather than only requiring traffic coming in from Smith Road to stop? The traffic levels seems to suggest a need for it. I could send in a photo next time I see a back up if you'd like.

This needs to be repainted so that there is a right turn lane so that northbound on Smith turning right onto 10th does not get stuck behind vehicles trying to turn left onto 10th.

New traffic light installed on second street at twin lakes. Specifically in the morning during rush hour (7:00-8:00), traffic that is heading east on second street backs up because of it. Traffic can be backed up all the way to the other traffic light at Basswood Dr. The light changes quickly to allow 1 vehicle to come out of Millenium Apts but doesn't change back quickly to allow the traffic to flow on second street.

This does not fall into any category: would you please place on your list for Park Ridge neighborhood: traffic calming bumps need re-striping and lettering re-painting - very faded, also metal posts need reflectors where missing. Thanks!

Cars coming south on Walnut Street up from Indiana business 37 and wanting to turn left into Blue Ridge run a great risk of being rear-ended by cars, which often exceed the speed limit. Our Blue Ridge intranet has recently been discussing this issue and would like to see the city address the issue in some way after investigation

Would it be possible to extend the turn signal time at Kinser/Madison and Hwy 46? When turning left from Kinser/Madison onto Hwy 46, the light only allows 2 cars to get through before changing. When Bloomington North lets out or the normal 5pm rush hour, I have sat through that light waiting to turn as much as 4 times and on one occasion several months ago, traffic was backed up and I sat through 7 signal changes before finally being able to turn. It really slows down traffic and backs it up. Thank You for your consideration.

I want to report a suggestion I feel would be helpful to the neighborhood of Sycamore Knolls. I live on Arden Dr, and believe the Arden Dr/High St. intersection is becoming more and more dangerous with the influx of young families moving in. As the only stop sign on that stretch of High Street, year after year I see near misses with pedestrians and cars at this intersection. I believe that if reflection strips or retarder strips were laid down at this 4 way stop more people would be aware of the stop sign being there and make a complete stop. Please let me know how I can move this issue forward, also on the south east side of the 4 way stop the tree limbs at times cover the stop sign upon approaching the intersection.
