Request for Traffic Calming Devices in Walnut Springs/Grove Neighborhood. Burks Drive between S. Walnut Street and S. Walnut Street Pike is a residential neighborhood that has a high volume of automobile traffic cutting through at high speeds (40+ mph). This creates a hazard for residents in the area that may be pulling out of their driveways, walking (especially the elderly people in the neighborhood), and children playing. Traffic calming devices, such as speed bumps, would cut down on traffic volume and speeds, which would create a safe environment for all.

the stop sign by showplace 11, when approached from the west side street off college mall rd. is hidden behind branches that over hang the tall hedge. The sign needs to be visible before one gets to it. Generally one or two branches are trimmed occasionally. That's not enough.

I sent the attached e-mail to the Project Managers for the 494/169 interchange project, but it occurred to me I should send it to the City as well. Many of the traffic circles part of the project (specifically those in the southwest quadrant and possibly others) have earth "hills" in the circle centers which make it difficult to see vehicles already on the circle to which one must yield when entering a circle. I suggest the mounds be leveled and only low-growing landscaping planted in the circle centers to improve sight lines.

Could the city look into removing the temporary sign at the corner of Pete Ellis Drive and Third Street that direct motorists to the various shops in the Barnes & Noble and Best Buy shopping centers? I believe this sign was placed during contruction on the 3rd Street and 46 Bypass construction to help motorists navigate into these shops. Now that construction is complete, can this unneeded sign please be removed?

Hello. You might recall that I recently asked the City about removing this sign; you stated it was the jurisdiction of the State. Here's my request to them and their reply from June 18. I doubt this is a legal sign from understanding past history. Can you remove this unneeded sign and alleviate sign pollution? Can you please look into removing the temporary sign that was installed on SR46 in Bloomington at its intersection with Pete Ellis Drive? The sign points directions to local businesses whose entrances were affected during last year's SR46 Bloomington bypass construction project. This sign is located on the NW corner of SR46 (East Third Street) and Pete Ellis Drive. It's obvious this sign was meant to be temporary, and now that construction is complete it should be removed. Dear Mr. Arvesen, I sent your concerns to our Construction Department. They state that the temporary sign in question is not a sign that INDOT and/or the Contractor working on the State Road 46 Bypass project installed. This is a sign that the shopping center had made and installed. You would need to contact the shopping center management to have this sign removed because it is a sign that they had installed, not INDOT. Our Construction Department has also sent an email to the City of Bloomington to notify them of your concerns about this sign.

Hello, If you are not the correct contact, would you please forward this as appropriate? I am a faculty member at the School of Education. I walk to work daily and need to cross Third St. at Rose Ave. Is there any chance of having a crosswalk at this intersection? It is often very difficult to cross with the sometimes long lines of traffic coming from both directions. Finding a break in the traffic and competing with traffic turning onto Third from Rose is often very dangerous. Also, since I walk on Rose heading north from Hunter, I am forced to walk on the road until I reach Third St. What are the chances of having sidewalk installed on Rose south of Third? Thanks for considering this. Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146

Please consider putting a traffic signal in at the pedestrian crosswalk near 10th and Fee on IU's campus. The continuous stream of students regularly causes traffic backups 20 minutes long. Today, I watched my bus take 15-20 minutes to traverse about a half mile just because there was no way to make the thousands of students crossing the street at that point pause. Only one cr can cross the crosswalk at a time, because it is a lucky breat when there is more than a 3 second break in the stream of pedestrians. Please address this so that it won't take me 45 minutes to drive two miles.
