East State Road 46 Bypass
- Case Date:
- 1/22/2013
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.

Morton & 7th
- Case Date:

At 7th and Morton, on 7th in both directions for the lanes of motor vehicle traffic, there are no painted white stop lines perpendicular to the lanes for the new stop signs. It would be helpful to have the thick white stop lines to help signal to traffic that they must stop at this intersection. This is for both east and west bound traffic lanes.

S Sare Rd

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.

Excessive speed
- Case Date:
- 1/30/2018
Please, reading about Bloomington traffic, we are SO SLOW HERE (though need to obey lights better) so do not slow further. Can absolutely slow neighborhoods but the entire city shouldn't be neighborhood. There is essentially no E/W route. Traffic is worse for a town this size than any I have ever visited (have visited many). Thanks! We need real roads. Can grid some slow places but need more arterials.

You guys could start planning out where your guises work zones are going to be throughout the city so you guys don't just have one main street taking you for one side of the highway to the other , But that's just me a citizen and that would make too much sense

Starting off, this is just a friendly message for maybe a future traffic improvement. I assume that anyone that works with planning road features and improvements knows more than I do, but in the off chance, I'd like to share a video on the topic of diverging diamond interchanges that I think could do wonders to the nightmare of traffic that is the 3rd street overpass of 37/69.

can we please get speed bumps on west 7th street in front of the cemetery? Many elderly, children, and pets are within this area and i see people speeding up the hill regularly. Each month my neighbors and i have to clean up animals that have been hit and I have seen multiple times children and elderly nearly hit.
Along with your every day joe going through, it is also sheriff and city police speeding on the street without lights and sirens. This is a hazard I hope you will fix.
Sincerely,
Ryan Baker

west 3rd Ave.
I total understand that road construction needs to be completed and delays can be expected. However, the traffic pattern on west 3rd over 37 is unacceptable. I live of Johnson Drive (a few blocks east of the intersection) and I can't even get home without be blocked by traffic for 25 to 30 minutes. The construction company seems to have enough paved space now to keep 2 east/west bound lanes open and keep the traffic flow going. They need to re strip the lanes and/or have police direct traffic. There are only 2 fully operational overpasses on 37 which would be fullerton way south or 46 up north squeezing all the traffic on to 2nd/3rd which are both restricted in lanes. As I said, delays can be expected with construction but the times are unacceptable.
