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.

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.

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.

As 10th street crosses SR46 to the east, it goes from 2 lanes to 1. There is one sign indicating that the right lane ends. However the left lane curves as though it ends. Since I was nearly in an accident the other day because of this confusion, I would like to know which lane ends. I would also like additional signage added to reduce that danger.
If it is the right lane that ends, perhaps that could be marked as a right-turn only lane.

I recently complained about the dangerous new roundabout at S. Sare Rd. and East Rogers Rd. I would like to once again point out how dangerous this intersection is. This morning at 8:30AM a vehicle was traveling in the wrong direction through the roundabout despite perfect weather conditions/ clear visibility. This is at a time of high traffic volume at that location. An innocent person is going to be seriously injured at this intersection due to poor engineering and a lack of proper traffic controls. I am keeping a record of these complaints in the event of an incident at this location.

Street sign missing and stop sign needs replaced on Lorelei Way off of Smith Rd.

I'm not sure if this intersection is in Bloomington City limits, or within the jurisdiction of Monroe County. As you enter Gates Drive from westbound N. Jacob Drive (by Wendy's), the flowers and plants have grown so high that you cannot see northbound traffic on Gates Drive. I entered this intersection twice today and had close calls because I could not see oncoming traffic, and I'm in a large pickup.
Thanks.

We would like to post or have the city post signage redirecting 46 bypass traffic to pete ellis for the businesses effected by the closed entrance to the strip malls at 46 Bypass and 3rd Street. At Starbucks, we have lost over a third of our business since the closing of that entrance. Similar reports are available from the surrounding local businesses.
