Has the city considered installing a protected bike lane on 3rd street? Particularly between Jordan Ave and Indiana Ave. I just drove by and there were TWO Semi-tractor trailers parked in the lane and a sedan parked in the lane. It really reflects poorly on the city that you put in useless white paint and nothing to actually protect people from vehicles. I never bother to use the bike lanes for this reason, you never know when you'll have to keep re-entering vehicle traffic.

I work at the school of Business and travel south on Fee Lane. I noticed that there are no speed limit signs from 17th to 10th street. When students are present I usually travel about 20 miles an hour. Yesterday a motorist passed me just before you get to the crosswalk in front of Mc Nutt. There were waves of student on both sides of Fee lane. This motorist crossed the double yellow lines traveling at about 35 miles an hour.
Can speed limit signs be installed for about 20 miles an hour? This is a dangerous place for pedestrians.

The yield sign on the corner of 5th and Adams is facing the graveyard and needs to be turned to face drivers on the street.

Good afternoon. I live at 415 W. Graham Drive on the south side of Bloomington. I am writing in hopes of having a two- way stop become a four-way stop at the cross roads of Graham and Madison streets (and possible speed bumps put in). I have noticed (a lot) of drivers who turn on to Graham accelerate to a high speed because the west/ east of Graham does not have to stop at the intersection where Madison crosses (north to south). I cannot tell you how many times I have heard breaks squeal because the driver at the stop sign does not realize that cross traffic does not stop. Graham has a very high volume of foot traffic whether it be pedestrians walking to the bline, or their pets, or children walking home from the school bus. This makes for a very dangerous situation. I realize this is not a residential neighborhood- it's more of a city street, but I am concerned for everyone's well being and I believe making that a four-way stop would aide in motorists to slow down and be more aware of their surroundings.
Thank you,
Amanda

I was wondering if there could be signage added on W. 3rd Street to encourage people to use the "zipper" merge when traveling westbound towards HWY 37 during this construction? When I try to travel home each day, traffic is backed up from the highway to Liberty Drive, with all cars in the right lane, due to signs warning of the left lane being closed ahead (at the intersection of Fairfield Dr. and Highway 37). People are trying to be courteous, but they are actually slowing down traffic by doing this. I have seen a sign before that said "Use both lanes during backup" - could that be a possibility? I live on Fairfield Dr., so everyday is tough and people seem to be making poorer choices each day because of the traffic. Thank you for your time.

Is it really true that the city plans to prohibit right turns onto Indiana Ave from Third St?
If so, we need new city officials.

Please consider installing a Right Turn Lane sign at the level/depth of the stoplights for the lane that turns from 17th St. onto College Ave. Many cars do not see the painted arrow and attempt to go straight across, creating dangers for cars in the lane for continuing East on 17th 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.

It would be easier and safer to cross the 17th street and Kinser Pike if the traffic light had a WALK SIGN for pedestrians. I think this is important because there are many college students living around this area, and they have to take the bus 6 to go to the campus. Thank you.
