For years I have seen many drivers on Rogers (both directions) blow through the stop sign at Dodds. I’ve had three near-misses that I can recall and have seen others have near misses. I saw 2 just today. I’ve come to the point where I think there is something wrong that so many run this stop sign. I don’t know if more prominent striping on the street or larger signs will help or not, but I feel it needs investigation.

The barricades set up on Rockport Road at the intersection of Roger's Street and Rockport Road are creating a dangerous situation. Specifically, the barricade in the lane for Rockport approaching Rogers requires traffic to drive in to oncoming traffic. This particular barricade doesn't seem to serve any purpose, as it is only visible to traffic traveling on Rockport towards Rogers street, the opposite direction of the Tapp/Rockport intersection.

I have reported this intersection (Allendale and Winslow) before. Motorists run through the stop signs on Allendale on a regular basis. I see this at least once per week (I live in Sherwood Oaks) and each member of my family observes this as well, so it happens a LOT. Several years ago I was told you were going to install bigger stop signs and put on on each side of the road to make them more visible. Nothing has happened. Perhaps a glowing/flashing stop sign such as they have in other cities?
Thank you,
Kim

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.

I work at the school of Business and travel south on Fee Lane. I noticed that there are no speed limit signs from 17th to 10th street. When students are present I usually travel about 20 miles an hour. Yesterday a motorist passed me just before you get to the crosswalk in front of Mc Nutt. There were waves of student on both sides of Fee lane. This motorist crossed the double yellow lines traveling at about 35 miles an hour.
Can speed limit signs be installed for about 20 miles an hour? This is a dangerous place for pedestrians.

The yield sign on the corner of 5th and Adams is facing the graveyard and needs to be turned to face drivers on the street.

Traffic lights on main entry and exit roadways in Bloomington are not synchronized causing traffic delays. Hwy 46 past hospital, 3rd st & hwy 48 are in need of traffic study to determine best method to increase flow of traffic in and out of town during peak travel hours.

A couple cones would be nice at the first speed hump as you're heading eastbound on Miller. All the other new speed humps have two to five cones, but the first one you hit from the west (in front of the City of Bloomington Utilities offices) has no cones so there's no warning.

Going east on 10th street after the 45/46 intersection, the two lanes merge into one as the road becomes SR 45. Drivers who are turning left to enter the Cyber Infrastructure parking lot will consistently stay in the left lane; ignore the merge; and drive through the yellow demarcation area. This is dangerous when a car has already merged to the right and is entering the turn lane as designed. It is also dangerous if a car follows the turning car with no intent to turn themselves but to continue on SR 45.
It seems like the left lane should either be marked as turn only, or barrier cones or a median should be installed to better enforce the demarcation area.
