I'm new to Bloomington, currently residing on S Park Ave, so I'm not sure if the following has already been reported. I often find it frustrating that there is not a 4-way stop on at the "intersection" of 2nd st and S Park Ave. This isn't a typical intersection as 2nd street dead-ends into S Park causing drivers to have to turn right or left to continue on 2nd, depending on their direction. I realize that 2nd street has more traffic than S Park however traffic often gets backed up when drivers don't know who has the right-away. I've witness several close calls. I'm just looking for some feedback to see if this has been investigated and/or if anything can be done to address it. Many thanks for your time and consideration!

Can a "No Left Turn" sign be placed at Union St when heading south at the 3rd street intersection? Drivers constantly try to turn left there, impeding traffic and causing dangerous situations. The heavy 3rd street traffic makes it near impossible to turn left (East). Individuals will wait 10-15 minutes to turn or eventually give up. Drivers can be seen pulling in front of other drivers attempting to make their way in. Thank you and have a great day.

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.

Hello. I am the property manager for Tamarron HOA. There is a cross walk to Univeristy Elementary School from Tamarron. We are having issues with speeding vehicles and children crossing the street. At the HOA board meeting tonight it was suggested putting a three way stop sign at the intersection of Callery Drive and Tamarron Drive to at least slow the traffic down. Who do we contact about this? One Board member brought up if there is a stop sign on the north end of Callery Drive and Tamarron Drive, it will re-route cars down the south side of Tamarron so maybe installing two stop signs at each end of Callery Drive and Tamarron Drive. Thank you for considering this.

I use the Walnut St and Fairfax Rd intersection about 10 time a week, going to and from work. Coming from Fairfax Rd turning left on to Walnut (to get to 37) is challenging, inefficient and dangerous. There is a designated left turn lane, but no left turn green light. Frequently only one car is able to turn left during a green light, causing several cars behind also turning left (after the light has changed) to rush through on turning left to get through intersection. Coming from the opposite direction, there is no left turn lane and to my knowledge no other designated lane, but the lane is wide enough for cars that are going straight to pass (on the right) the vehicles stuck waiting to turn left. Thus potentially causing an accident in the intersection. Left turning cars onto Walnut St don't see the 2nd car across passing the car in front of them waiting to turn left on to Walnut St. My suggestion would be to clearly mark lanes on each side of the intersection and put up a traffic light that includes green left turn signals for the Fairfax Rd and Walnut Street intersection. Thank you for your time.

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!!!!!!

At the stoplight on E. Covenanter, close to the shopping complex with Kroger, there is a lack of painted street markings indicating where the left-turn lane is and where the street at the intersection is divided between traffic directions. I have often witnessed this resulting in confused drivers, who sometimes attempt driving straight across College Mall Road when they are actually in the left-turn lane. Proper street markings and arrows should be painted to make this less confusing and less dangerous for everyone.

The location is Maxwell La. & Sheridan Rd. (I don't know how 311 W. 8th st.came up on this form!) I leave 834 Sheridan to go to High St. via Maxwell about 4-5x/week for the past 7 years, and I've always thought how helpful it would be to have a stop sign on Maxwell to make a left turn there safer. Cars going east on Maxwell are not seen as I stop at Sheridan until about 2-3 car lengths distance because they are coming up a hill. Many times, even though I've looked carefully, a car will come up behind me quite close after I've made my left turn, & often it's because I think the other car might be going a bit fast. A stop sign here could make the turn much safer. (This form needs a "reply requested" option. I would appreciate a reply!Thank you.)
