Several months ago I almost had an accident while going west on 3rd St. and turning left on College. I did not see a car coming east on 3rd St. Last week I was going east on 3rd and was coming up from the overpass and I understood why I previously did not see the car I almost hit. The slope of the street and the plant pots obstruct seeing cars. You might consider removing the pots to allow for a better view in both directions.

This request is for one additional No Parking sign on Union Street, just north of 7th Street. Bloomington Municipal Code 15.32.080 describes a No Parking zone on the west side of Union Street spanning from 7th to 175 feet north of 7th St. Currently this area has a yellow painted curb; however, when there is snow, the curbs are covered. I have spoken with Parking, who states they are unable to ticket when the yellow curbs are covered. I am asking that you please erect one (or more) No Parking sign to cover this particular No Parking zone. When vehicles park in this region, it makes it very difficult for vehicle to see traffic approaching from the north when turning from the west part of 7th onto Union St. I live on the SE corner of 7th & Union and often hear cars honking due to near-collisions—presumably due to poor visibility. I also drive a transit bus for IU; even in the bus, it is very difficult to see traffic approaching from the north.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding my inquiry. Again, this is already a codified no parking zone with yellow curb paint; I'm just asking that a No Parking sign be erected so that it remains enforceable when snow obscures curbs.

I recommend removing the new zebra crossing at the lights on the corner of 3rd and Jordan. It is the only zebra crossong at this intersection but all pedestrian crossing at this intersection is controlled by crossing signals. I have seen a number of pedestrians cross against the crossing signal at this zebra crossing suggesting there may be some confusion regarding when pedestrians can cross.

During peak hours of the day (4-6:00pm), I would like to see a no left-turn sign from east-bound third street onto Rose or Union. In addition, it would be nice to have a no left-turn sign from those roads turning on third street. This area gets very congested during the standard commute to the east side and significant delays are caused by motorist trying to make those turns.

We have cars flying down Ruby Ln heading to High Street. Our house is on the corner of Ruby and S. Covenanter and they fly down Ruby Lane and turn having headed into the ditch. My main concern is that cars fly down Ruby Lane and we have several families with small children. On the lower side of Ruby Lane there is no sidewalk and these cars are flying down the road. Their speed would kill a pedestrian or a child playing if they got hit. It would be nice with a sign or a speed bump to slow some of the traffic flying down E. Ruby Lane. We never see police officers patrol our neighborhood...not even when we file a report that we are out of town and would like beefed up security checks. The same culprits drive exceedingly fast down both E. Ruby Lane and E. Southdowns Drive and never get ticketed for speeding. If you want to get extra income for the city...that would be the way to do it. Set up a police officer and catch all the drivers driving too fast down these streets.

The road is too narrow approaching the intersection at Kinser Pike and 45. Traffic gets very crowded and unnecessarily backed up. -Amanda Mentzel (I was unable to put my name in the fields above.)

In the morning from 7-9 the traffic gets extremely backed up on Kinser Pike coming from the North, the neighborhoods and the school buses from the High School. The left turn signal, to turn on to 45/46, is extremely short, less than 10 seconds I would say, and then it's extremely hard to turn left on green as there are lots of cars coming across the intersection. Is there any way to make this turn signal longer for at least those 2 hours in the morning? Traffic is sometimes backed up all the way to the Skate Park, which is on a curve so that is very dangerous. You round the blind curve and all of a sudden there is stopped traffic. Thank you for your consideration in this matter!

There is no sign indicating 'Arden' street at the intersection of High and Arden. It makes it complicated giving directions! Thanks.

I travel west on Moore's Pike between 8:30am and 9:00am every weekday morning. In the past few weeks, traffic is often backed up from High St. nearly to the Roundabout on Moore's Pike. When this occurs, it takes 3-4 cycles of the High St. & Moore's Pike/Hillside light to get through the light. If there is a way to increase west bound traffic flow through that intersection and allow side street traffic to enter the Moore's Pike roadway, during that time period, it would be a good thing.
