930 N Smith RD

Case Date:
12/8/2014

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.

501 S Fess AVE

Case Date:
12/10/2014

I believe that the intersection of Hunter and Fess (one block North of the new Bloomingfoods store) should be changed from a 2 way stop to a 4 way stop. When travelling west on Hunter, it is very difficult to see any traffic coming up Fess (north bound) until you are completely in the street. This traffic on Fess does not stop today, while Hunter does stop. With the significant number of cars normally parked on Fess, it is very difficult to see oncoming traffic until you are nearly into the oncoming traffic lane. With the new Bloomingfoods, there seems to be a growing amount of traffic using Fess in this area. I regular use Hunter on my bicycle, and this intersection is the most dangerous one on Hunter, and would benefit from being converted to a 4 way stop.

215 E 6th ST

Case Date:
12/15/2014

Traffic headed south on Washington is no longer forced to stop. Street parking on the northwest corner of the intersection makes it dangerous for cross traffic to pull through the intersection on 6th. There are bound to be accidents.

209-211 East 10th Street

Case Date:
12/31/2014

There is not a single marked ped xing on 10th Street between Walnut and Indiana. Trying to cross (as a pedestrian) during the afternoon rush hour can be very difficult. Cars are routinely exceeding the speed limit on this stretch, which makes crossing even more difficult.

1317 S Henderson ST

Case Date:
1/23/2014

A crosswalk with lights was put in on Henderson (near Brenda Lane & Templeton Elem School) some time ago, but the lights on the sign are too subtle for motorists to notice. At least once per week I have to put my arm out into the crosswalk to get a motorists attention to stop. The signs are around 10 feet off the ground--well above the eye level of motorists; and the lights on the vertices of the pentagonal sign are tiny and give off insufficient light. You need lights that are impossible to miss and at eye level. The city has lights just like this on Washington at E Smith Ave (beside the Allison-Jukebox Center). They are at eye level and you can see them from three blocks away.

1501-1599 North Dunn Street

Case Date:
1/27/2014

At 19th & Dunn, there are streetlights just south, and just eat of the intersection - but none on the intersection itself. I drive through here at about 6:45 am Mon - Fri and am sometimes surprised by someone walking into the roadway (at the crosswalk) that I didn't see upon my approach.

311 S Swain AVE

Case Date:
2/5/2014

Swain is no parking on both sides of the street between 3rd street and Atwater. And it is marked with 'No Parking Any Time' signs in several spots. There is one spot that people always park. Sometimes even going the wrong way. This spot is next to the Ami restaurant parking lot. This is especially dangerous when delivery trucks are parked on the other side of Swain delivering to Mother Bears. I've attached a photo to show cars parking in this spot. There is a sign in front of these cars, and another behind them. Where they are parked is a curb that has the entrance to the Ami parking lot to the front of them and to the back of them. They think since there is no sign on this part of the curb that they can park there. I would like to see a sign posted in this part of the curb. Having s sign posted in this part of the curb would eliminate most if not all of this parking.

Upon exiting the CVS/Starbucks onto Highway 46. There needs to be signs indicating no left turn or that the road is one way.

Case Date:

In the alley adjacent to Bloomington Center for Global Children at 1111 North Walnut Street, traffic often travels both ways. As a parent who picks up a young child there, I am keenly aware of the danger presented by a two way alley adjacent to a child care center. I am requesting that this alley be made one way with traffic control as well, as the traffic traveling north on Walnut street presents another danger to those individuals turning west into the alley next to the center.
