I fully support the e 3rd changes as of now but please keep them in mind if any one tries to build exceedingly dense housing by century village again as the new system may struggle. Maybe not if bus and bike is super easy out there. Thanks

There is a lot of high speed traffic on West 13th Street between Rogers and Maple and I believe it is unsafe for the neighborhood. I live at the intersection of 13th and Fairview with my son who is developmentally disabled, so it is even more concerning for me to have cars zipping by at speeds far too high for residential areas. I believe a 4-way stop would solve the problem and request that you consider this.

I have spoken with Public Works and Planning & Transportation previously but i would like to put it out there again since there has been a lot more progress on Union at Crescent. I would like to put in a request that N.Oolitic Dr from the rear exit of Union at Crescent to W.11th St be rebuilt with widening and curb/sidewalk combos to full ROW width. In addition, i still request that the intersection at N.Oolitic and W.11th be turned into a 3-way stop (signs, not lights.) I truly appreciate serious consideration of these matters and I will work with the city in any way I can, within reason, with my adjacent property. Thank you.

It is very difficult to see the westbound traffic when stopped on Highland going north and trying to turn onto 3rd street. The TIS building obstructs the view.

If someone actually reads this – Please add an indicator/light to indicate to drivers that this is a one way. I have two videos in the last two weeks of someone going the wrong way on a 40 MPH road... If you want both of the videos email me. (N Walnut Street, Bloomington, IN 47404).

Cars racing late at night again around park ridge east now than park ridge is resurface. Concerned traffic count on morningside was not accurate as traffic was much lower when park ridge was under construction lately and not appealing to drive through

7th and Dunn and 7th and Indiana have become absolutely terrifying since the bike lanes were installed. The main issue is on 7th and Dunn St: without a four way stop, it is very dangerous to travel on Dunn St. people do not check for bikes/scooters in their right-away lane, which leads to countless near accidents. I live on Dunn, and it often takes nearly 5 minutes to get out of this intersection, due to the heavy traffic which comes from the Indiana and 7th intersection. I have witnessed major accidents at both of these intersections. At 7th and Indiana, the stop line (on 7th) is so far back that cars on Indiana street cannot see the stopped cars on 7th until they themselves are stopped. This leads to confusion/road rage from the cars on Indiana when they think those traveling on 7th didn’t come to a complete stop. 4 way stop sign should be reinstated on 7th and Dunn Intersection, and something needs to be done to improve vision on 7th and Indiana.

Starting the 7th Street Bikeway project is great. I hope we have lots of low-traffic thoroughfares in twon some day. But finish what you started on Allen Street. There is no signs, no flashing beacons, no paint. Nothing that designates the street a low and slow traffic area. Cars drive way faster now with the "improvements" then they did with the hodgepodge pilot. Put some signs up. Paint the street. Put some flashers at the Washington St intersection and the Henderson St intersection. Allen is not finished.

I am requesting that a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator be installed in a location along W Woodlawn Ave, somewhere between S Weatherstone Ln and E Wilson St.
The speed limit on S Woodlawn Ave is 25 MPH, but the average vehicle's speed in front of my approximate address is closer to 45 MPH, with many vehicles regularly reaching speeds over 60 MPH and even 80 MPH at least daily.
The reason why the speed limit is 25 MPH on S Woodlawn Ave is because of its proximity to Indiana University foot and bike commuters, Bryan Park, the Bryan Park Pool, a bus stop, and Union Elementary School. In addition to these elements, S Woodlawn Ave is also hilly which contributes to dangers associated with limited lines of sight between vehicles and pedestrians. Being a thoroughfare between Hillside Ave and streets north of it, traffic naturally flows faster than 25 MPH especially with the only stop sign between 1st St and Hillside Ave being at Sheridan Ave. Drivers frequently “floor” their vehicles through S Woodlawn Ave, and the police speed enforcement seems to never pull anyone over for speeding.
For the above reasons, the current traffic pattern on S Woodlawn Ave is incompatible with its intended use. Installing a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator (for both northbound and southbound traffic) will hopefully greatly reduce thoroughfare excessive speeds. I am worried that this is a formula for someone to get hurt and it is only a matter of time unless the City does something about this. Please at least conduct a traffic study.
Thank you for receiving my note, and I will be following up on this.

Hello, I live on the south side of Bloomington on Coolidge Drive. Down the road from broad view learning center. I had noticed last year that road maintenance had placed speed bumps on all the Broadview neighborhood streets but Coolidge road. They are also now adding permanent speed bumps throughout the neighborhood but haven’t seen any signs that they will out any on Coolidge. Coolidge has a hill coming down from the school leading to Rogers. People fly down this road at 40+ MPH just to slam on their brakes before getting to the stop sign. It is a major concern of mine since people walk the side walks regularly. I’ve had my mailbox hit several times because the road is also smaller than normal and with flying cars then people over correct and cause damage to peoples property and their own cars.
I would like to propose also adding a speed bump on Coolidge to help with the very fast and dangerous driving.
Thank you, Kegan Smith
