Hello! At the intersection of 6th and Waldron in the Near West Neighborhood of Bloomington is a circular installment--a raised concrete circle with a planter in the middle, with hazard signs. It's very confusing whether motorists should treat this as a roundabout or a regular intersection (i.e. a two-way stop, as Waldron has stop signs). Recently I've had two near-accidents, as I treated it as a roundabout: traveling west along 6th street, I needed to turn south onto Waldron, so I went three-quarters around the "roundabout" to get onto Waldron. According to Street Division, whom I just called, this was the correct course of action. However, both times, a car traveling north along Waldron assumed that--since I had gone to the right of the installement--I was heading straight along 6th, so they tried to turn left onto 6th and nearly hit me as I rounded the "roundabout." Therefore, I would like to request signage that clarifies to all motorists whether this is a roundabout or not. Specifically, I think this should be a roundabout. The current hazard signs and construction only indicate that there is an object to be avoided--not how drivers should behave. Thank you for your time.

The stop sign at Allendale & Bainbridge is constantly driven thru without cars stopping. It’s frightening when we have so many kids in the neighborhood, & it is a school bus stop. With school starting again, it’s a concern. I’ve seen numerous cars just whip around a school bus there without hardly slowing down. I also think it would be really helpful to have speed bumps on Eeliston Dr., on the way to the park. We have so many pedestrians on the street, and no sidewalk.

the 1700 blk of N Washington St is extremely difficult to drive on. constantly cars are parked on both sides of the street. there are no parking signs on the north bound side, but not on the south bound side. Also, is there a plan to place no parking signs in the 300 and 400 block on East 19th St? This area is also impassable throughout the day and night hours. Thank you.

Hi! This is a request for stop sign be placed on 14th Street at Entrance at The Stadnard and at entrance between 350 E. 14th St. and 450 E. 14th St. This will allow for residents to exit safely, pedestrians to cross the street safely and slow cars down

Heading east on Third Street, there is a lane divider near the Big Red Liquor followed by a double yellow line however on MANY occasions cars try to turn left there which not only stops traffic but has the risk of accidents for people getting around them. I've seen yellow virtical 'posts' that are used to inhibit turning and wonder if that might be a solution.

You guys think you could take the time to maybe sink the traffic lights around town so you don't literally have to stop at every red light and that's every red light in a row all the crap you guys talk about climate change but yet you've got dozens of cards stopping at every red light You're just incompetent or it's an inside joke

I live at the corner of S. Park Avenue and University Street. In the last two months, there have been at least 4 traffic accidents at the corner when someone does not stop. While the police were called for 2 of the accidents, the others did not involve the police (drove off or exchanged information). The police were called when the accidents were significant enough to require towing away one (or both) vehicles. I do not know that a four-way stop is the right solution to reduce this problem, but something should be done.

Going north on Rogers St, at the intersection with 3rd, the right lane is not very well marked as a turn only lane, or the marking have worn away. Two cars today alone cut me off in that intersection as I was in the left lane going straight and they were in the right lane, apparently also going straight. This is an accident waiting to happen. This intersection needs better markings and/or signage to make it safer and easier to navigate.

The median on Rogers near the Community Kitchen needs reflectors. It is very hard to see it at night

I have observed two near-collisions at the intersection of South Highland and East Hillside. Drivers coming from the west on Hillside seem sometimes to be surprised to find westbound traffic, preparing to make a lefthand turn and turn south on Highland, appearing in what the eastbound drivers perceive to be "their space." The street markings are nearly invisible. I'm sure repainting is scheduled but sooner might be good . . . Thanks!
