I’m replying to this ticket and message: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=206800 Closed by Driss Tahir At this time, the City no longer maintains individual painted parking space lines on residential streets. These markings are not required for parking regulation, and our maintenance program focuses on regulatory and safety related pavement markings such as crosswalks, stop bars, centerlines, and ADA parking. Parking is still permitted along the block, and vehicles may continue to park as usual. If you have any questions or concerns about access, visibility, or safety, feel free to reach back out. Thank you! Thank you for the clarification. I understand that individual residential parking lines are no longer part of the City’s regular pavement-marking program. However, I would like to request a safety and visibility review for our block, based on the guidance you mentioned about access, visibility, and safety concerns. The fading of these lines has created some issues for our immediate neighbors that fit these categories and affect our street’s access and safety. It should be noted that this particular street is quite narrow and is a two-way street. The pavement markings serve a significant purpose on the street. Here are some additional details I’d like you to consider: 1. We have an elderly neighbor who relies on clearly defined parking space boundaries. When cars drift into the space in front of her home, it can block their access or require her to walk farther than she needs to. 2. Several small children live and play on this part of the street. Without visible parking lines, cars often park farther out into the street than before, reducing sightlines and making it harder for drivers to see children entering or exiting vehicles. 3. We have multiple college student renters on the block. Turnover and unfamiliarity with the street lead to inconsistent spacing and irregular parking patterns. This sometimes reduces the usable width of the street and narrows driving lanes. Given these access and safety considerations, would it be possible for the Traffic Division to assess whether refreshed pavement markings would improve visibility and organization on this block? I appreciate your time and your help in keeping the neighborhood safe.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems like installing signs and marking the new speed bumps on S. Washington would be a smart idea. The bumps that were installed blend in perfectly to the existing pavement, the paint is woefully inadequate to be visible under any conditions, and there are no signs indicating that there are bumps. People are being taken for quite the ride thanks to another phenomenal job by the city with a poorly implemented traffic calming device.

The painted lines that delineate the street-parking spots in front of my home are almost completely faded and no longer visible. Can you please schedule repainting of the parking-space markings? This affects parking organization and visibility for my block. We would be most appreciative of you helping us. Thank you!

Several (5) driveways (including ours at 2404) back into N. Headley Road just at the crest of a hill. Traffic is often fast going down to Griffy Lake. There potential for accidents involving people backing out of their driveways with limited visibility of traffic coming up the hill from either direction on N. Headley Rd. We would appreciate signaling on both sides of the hill that traffic should be aware of blind driveways at the top of the hill (5 driveways). e.g., "SLOW DOWN: Blind Driveways"

Request for a crosswalk be painted at 11th and Fee crossing 11th. That's a heavily trafficked area and there's no crosswalk.

Speed bumps/rumble strips. Pedestrian crossing light. I’ve been almost run over numerous times here in the crosswalk people are going 40 or 50 miles an hour—-very dangerous for pedestrians crossing.

Need street-surface traffic direction arrows painted in the 2 lanes of S. Clarizz heading north. I have seen people make the right-hand lane into a left-hand turn onto East 3rd St. Please see pic of suggested arrows. The yellow marks are the direction available besides a right turn. Tx!

There is are several crosswalks on Allen St. that are very hard to see at night. The lines could use reflective coating or blinking lights to help them be visible by car headlights at night.

The light at 2nd and Patterson needs a longer left turn signal, going from Patterson onto 2nd street. The time of the turn light is way too short. This has been a problem for years. I was the 6th car back in the turn line this morning and had to wait THREE LIGHT CYCLES to even make it through. Please make it a turn signal longer. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I witnessed a woman get struck by a pickup truck today at E 3rd and Morningside. This was an accident waiting to happen, as pedestrians and bicyclists on E 3rd Street are constantly risking their lives to cross it. The distance from the crosswalk at Smith Rd to the traffic light at SR 446 is 0.5 miles. (Note, there are also ZERO pedestrian crossing marks at the very busy intersection of 3rd & 446, where people with kids cross to get to Bruester's Ice Creamery.) HUNDREDS of rental units have been built on both sides of 3rd between Park Ridge and 446. A SAFE crossing should be added, with flashers or center island at Park Ridge or Morningside, or a traffic light should be placed at 3rd and Park Ridge.
