From about 3PM - 6 PM this intersection gets backed up sometimes all the way to Aldi. There's too much left turn traffic for just one lane. There really should be either 2 left turn lanes to help prevent traffic from blocking the entrances to multiple businesses or the light should have a left turn arrow so each car no longer has to half yield to make sure the oncoming traffic isn't going straight before they can turn. It's a hazard as well as a huge inconvenience for all drivers. I'm surprised the businesses on this section of the road don't complain daily about their parking lots being practically inaccessible.

The new light in front of the the Twin Lakes Recreation center has backed up traffic a lot especially during peak travel times, morning and evening rush hour commutes. I have lived in Oakdale Square apartments for over 4 years and the amount of extra time it takes to get to and from work (I work at IU) has increase by 5-10 minutes because of the light. As a suggestion I think the light should be a yellow flasher for Bloomfield road traffic between the hours of 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. This would decrease the amount the traffic can back up in this area.

At least half a dozen times since the new bike lanes were created on Third Street near Jordan Avenue, I have been driving westbound on Third Street, stopped at the light at Jordan, in the right lane, with my right turn signal on, only to have someone pass me on the right, driving in the bike lane (and sometimes proceeding to turn right on red at a "No turn on red" sign). I saw two cars in a row do this today. The lane markings seem clear enough to me, but a lot of people are evidently not understanding them. Can anything be done to make it clearer that that is not a drive lane?

Can you look at installing a dead end sign at the intersection of S. Hathaway Ct. and E. Cathcart Drive? Cars keep driving thru the neighborhood in an attempt to get to the parking lot at Southest Park and many turn around in the driveways of the houses on Hathaway.

We just need to slow down the traffic into The Stands going towards the park. Can we get one of the speed measuring signs to let people know how fast they are actually going?

I would like to request that a turn signal be added to the traffic lights at the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection for drivers on 3rd Street coming from the East who wish to turn South onto Woodscrest. There is already a turn signal on Woodscrest for drivers who are driving North and turn West onto 3rd Street, and that turn signal is extremely helpful. However, there is no turn signal on 3rd Street for people who wish to turn left onto Woodscrest after coming from the East, and as a result, the turn is very difficult and often even unsafe to make. Often times, drivers never have a chance to make a left turn while the light is green due to the often high traffic on 3rd street, and so the drivers are able to turn only when the light turns yellow. Adding a turn signal there would undoubtedly increase the safety for everyone at that intersection. Many of the other intersections on 3rd Street have traffic lights with left turn signals, even for both the East and West directions, and I don't think that the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection should continue to lack a turn signal for drivers turning left onto Woodscrest. Thank you.

We have noticed since we moved to Hoosier Street in South Bloomington about two years ago that it is increasingly difficult to turn out from our street not only during peak driving hours, but increasingly so throughout the day. In addition to it being difficult it is also quite dangerous. There are several reasons for this. First, being the high volume of vehicles on walnut which is two lanes in this area. There is also a large hill north of the intersection which makes it difficult to see traffic coming south on Walnut. In addition at the bottom of the hill heading south the speed limit increases from 30 to 40mph. As a result motorists start to accelerate coming down the hill before the speed limit sign and shortens the amount of time to pull onto walnut. Finally, if turning left off Walnut onto Hoosier or Ridgeview is increasingly dangers as other motorists will drive around the turning driver. This could be prevented by painting lines, putting in curbs, etc. Today we had a multiple car crash that resulted in our neighbors mother going to the hospital. I'm frankly am surprised that it has taken this long to occur. This intersection is a ticking time bomb. We are always nervous turning into our street that we will get rear ended and turning out onto Walnut at some parts of the day is impossible. Additionally we live on a dead end street. When we go for a walk to get to a side walk or a local park we have to cross Walnut with no crosswalk and no traffic signal to stop traffic. This intersection is completely in accessible and cuts off our street from the rest of the the neighborhoods in the area. It would be great to allow the young families with children and pets on our street to be able to safely access walkable neighborhoods and city parks. Please consider making changes to this dangerous intersection for the safety of the city's citizens.

I am requesting speed bumps for Covenanter Drive, between College Mall Road and Clarizz Blvd. This is residential area with two large apartment complexes. It's also a heavily traveled road for buses, bikes and vehicles, as well, as pedestrians. Many use it as a way to cut through the area or to reach nearby apartment complexes, the mall, the large Kroger, or medical offices.
Speeding is a concern. Line of sight can also be issue with two bus stops, curbside parking, the road's curve and change in elevation.
I think speed bumps would help the issue, just like it has done on Covenanter Drive, going west from College Mall to High Street.

Hi. After witnessing my third or fourth car accident in the past six months at the exact same intersection (when walking on the sidewalk every time), I would like to request the installation of a traffic light at Longview and Pete Ellis. This intersection, only two minutes from my house, is undeniably dangerous and (I am 99% positive) fatal at least once. The faster traffic on Pete Ellis doesn't have a stop sign, so when cars on Longview turn, it is hard for them to detect those fast vehicles. I have almost been hit crossing the street it is that bad. Today, December 22nd, a friend of mine was seriously hurt in an accident at that intersection.Despite the costs of a traffic light and the work it will entail, I do not want to risk my life and my friends' lives and the lives of other citizens anymore. I might send an additional, more detailed letter to the mayor if this does not go through. I sincerely hope you consider this proposal. Thank you.
