Turning left (south) from W Jacob Dr onto Gates Dr is tricky. A roundabout at that intersection would help. Also, 2nd St/Bloomfield Rd needs a makeover like 3rd St got. The intersections with Weimer Rd and with W Allen St are problematic. These are problems you're probably already aware of. Sorry.
Please install speed limit signs on Liberty Drive, in both directions, especially in the middle of this busy road. tx
10th and Pete Ellis: would be awesome if there were pedestrian signals and a request button to cross 10th. In the evening, peds must wait for traffic to trigger the light so they can cross.
No signage notifying cars of B-Line trail. This newcomer apologetically backed all the way from the bridge over 3rd back to the entry from the convention ctr parking lot. Since the bars were removed, I've seen this a couple times. The Monon trail has a white stripe down the middle, which could help with this problem and with pedestrians veering into the paths of bikes (a big problem with kids.)
Stop sign on the West side of 6th and Rogers has been defaced. See picture.
1717 Circle Dr, Bloomington, IN. The grasses on the corner of Circle Dve and Ruby Lane make it difficult for a driver/cyclist coming to the intersection able to see oncoming traffic from the east? As a driver/cyclist you have to come out into the intersection to see if you can proceed. Can these be trimmed or the one closest to the corner removed to allow visibility?
Based on my experience over the last three years living near this intersection, I believe we would benefit from a minor change to the traffic pattern at 10th and Range. The left lanes on both sides of the street should be converted to left turn only lanes and the right lane should be converted to through and right turn lanes. Currently, drivers need to use the left lanes to turn left and drivers behind them move to the right lanes to pass them creating unsafe driving conditions. I have seen many near collisions. I think this minor change would make the traffic pattern more safe and efficient with minimal costs to the city. As a concerned citizen, I hope you take this into serious consideration.
There needs to be a pedistrian crossing at the corner of Union and 5th. It is often dangerous to cross there.
I live on W. Ralston Drive, and many people drive through there to avoid the traffic on Tapp/Country Club. The problem is that they drive really fast, way over the speed limit of 30 mph. We don't have sidewalks and I often feel unsafe walking from my car or my house to my mailbox. My yard has a ditch out front so anyone walking in front of my house has to walk in the street, not in the yard. I would love to have speed bumps installed on our street. There are a lot of elderly people and young families. Thank you!
