I’m replying to this ticket and message: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=206800 Closed by Driss Tahir At this time, the City no longer maintains individual painted parking space lines on residential streets. These markings are not required for parking regulation, and our maintenance program focuses on regulatory and safety related pavement markings such as crosswalks, stop bars, centerlines, and ADA parking. Parking is still permitted along the block, and vehicles may continue to park as usual. If you have any questions or concerns about access, visibility, or safety, feel free to reach back out. Thank you! Thank you for the clarification. I understand that individual residential parking lines are no longer part of the City’s regular pavement-marking program. However, I would like to request a safety and visibility review for our block, based on the guidance you mentioned about access, visibility, and safety concerns. The fading of these lines has created some issues for our immediate neighbors that fit these categories and affect our street’s access and safety. It should be noted that this particular street is quite narrow and is a two-way street. The pavement markings serve a significant purpose on the street. Here are some additional details I’d like you to consider: 1. We have an elderly neighbor who relies on clearly defined parking space boundaries. When cars drift into the space in front of her home, it can block their access or require her to walk farther than she needs to. 2. Several small children live and play on this part of the street. Without visible parking lines, cars often park farther out into the street than before, reducing sightlines and making it harder for drivers to see children entering or exiting vehicles. 3. We have multiple college student renters on the block. Turnover and unfamiliarity with the street lead to inconsistent spacing and irregular parking patterns. This sometimes reduces the usable width of the street and narrows driving lanes. Given these access and safety considerations, would it be possible for the Traffic Division to assess whether refreshed pavement markings would improve visibility and organization on this block? I appreciate your time and your help in keeping the neighborhood safe.

The painted lines that delineate the street-parking spots in front of my home are almost completely faded and no longer visible. Can you please schedule repainting of the parking-space markings? This affects parking organization and visibility for my block. We would be most appreciative of you helping us. Thank you!

Several (5) driveways (including ours at 2404) back into N. Headley Road just at the crest of a hill. Traffic is often fast going down to Griffy Lake. There potential for accidents involving people backing out of their driveways with limited visibility of traffic coming up the hill from either direction on N. Headley Rd. We would appreciate signaling on both sides of the hill that traffic should be aware of blind driveways at the top of the hill (5 driveways). e.g., "SLOW DOWN: Blind Driveways"

Request for a crosswalk be painted at 11th and Fee crossing 11th. That's a heavily trafficked area and there's no crosswalk.

Drivers going east on third make a U turn to get going back west on Third Street. They seem unaware of drivers on Peter Ellis also turning west onto Third. One driver went across both lanes making the U turn. Needs a NO U TURN SIGN.

This four-way stop intersection has a very wide approach. Despite there being no visible lane markings, save for a faded arrow on the southbound approach on S Auto Mall Rd to this intersection, drivers frequently make their own rules and act like there are two lanes or just one. I don't even know what the proper lane configuration here is, but there should be clear markings and repaving done to this stretch from College Mall to S Auto Mall on Covenanter Drive. Speeds are low, but this intersection clearly needs an overhaul. It's been like this for years now, so I'm flagging this for relevant city departments.

The intersection of N Jefferson St and E 5th St currently only has a two way stop. Drivers and pedestrians would highly benefit from making it a four way stop. Cars drive 40+ mph down N Jefferson St, which makes it dangerous when proceeding from E 5th St. It is hard to see if cars are coming, because of the street parking. Many pedestrians have to cross this street in order to get to campus. I believe in the last year there have been at least 3 accidents here.

Can we please get a "no parking" sign here? There is a near constant issue with people parking on the yellow curb and it's dangerous!

We have a safety issue at Zikes Rd., south. At the top of Zikes Road we have many families with young children who play out in the yards and ride their bikes. We have a speeding problem Zikes Road. This needs addressed. People come up the road going north at high rates of speed. I would hate to see a child get hurt or killed. This is an ongoing problem. We need speed bumps here on Zikes Road.

A painted center line is greatly needed on the newly resurfaced & heavily trafficked N. Kinser Pk. From BHSN to at least the bypass. High school kids, etc., often cross the center part of the sharp turn near the skate park endangering oncoming traffic.
