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

1300-1318 East 10th Street

There needs to be a pedestrian walk light in the walk way across 10th Street from Kelley to the library. As it currently stands, pedestrians block the flow of traffic for as much a 15 minutes--and I mean, literally, zero cars get through. Not only does this contribute to the already congested traffic on campus, it is a hazard to every pedestrian, as well as the cars. The traffic from this walkway often extends west to Indiana Ave. and 7th Street and east to Crosstown Shopping Center. Cars block the intersections and it creates hazards for everyone. Students haphazardly cross the road without looking or paying attention because the walkway basically gives them carte blanche to do so. It only takes one driver not paying attention for a very bad incident to occur. I know I am not the first person to complain about this and when an incident happens, everyone will look to the Street Division and wonder why no one has ever done anything to fix this situation. All it takes is some sort of flashing light at the walkway similar to a cross walk that periodically stops pedestrian traffic and allows traffic through. Thank you.

I'm not sure if the city or IU would be responsible for this request, but I'd like to suggest the placement of signs making it clear pedestrians should not walk on the west side of Union between the RR tracks and 10th St. There's a sidewalk on the east side of the street. Pedestrians walking through here make it very tough for the E bus to safely cross the tracks and get into the proper traffic lane at the intersection. (I'm a campus bus operator.) Of course, the signs would be best placed such that buses' mirrors won't clip them. Thanks.

Is it possible to put a "no U-turn" sign with the left turn signal on northbound Walnut at the bypass intersection? Now that the eastbound bypass lanes have a green right turn arrow, I've seen several (and been involved in one) near misses of people in the left turn lane doing U-turns and nearly hitting those turning southbound onto Walnut with their green arrow. Thanks for your consideration.

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.

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?
