To Whom it May Concern,
I am an IU Student living in Jackson Heights. I choose to take the bus 2-3 times a day to get to my classes, in an effort to be environmentally conscious. The nearest bus stop is on 17th street past the gas station. There isn't any crosswalk/crosswalk lights on any side of the corner I have indicated. This puts myself, as well as any other pedestrian, at risk of being seriously injured. I've been in Bloomington since August and have, thankfully, avoided getting into any incident. However, I have just heard from my roommate, that she almost got hit by a car, as the driver wasn't paying attention and it's tricky for a pedestrian to decide when to cross when there aren't any indications to do so. I am really hoping a solution can be reached. I'd also appreciate any feedback on any way I can assist to help avoid a tragic situation.
Thank you for your time,
Yasmine El-Gohary

Traffic southbound on Jordan is always held up by people waiting for the left turn to go east on Atwater. Countless times I've seen that the light has already cycled to yellow by the time northbound traffic has cleared, and as a result cars have backed up all the way to third st. If the switching equipment allows jordan southbound to get green BEFORE jordan northbound, it will improve intersection throughput tremendously.

When traveling W. on Kirkwood and coming to the light at Adams, there are 2 left turn lanes but no good markings to guide cars to their respective lanes on Adams. We were almost hit by a car next to us that drifted into our lane as we turned. You need to put some nice wide solid white arcs to prevent an accident there.

Hello. There is a battered, fallen-over road construction sign on the sidewalk on the north side of Third Street between College Avenue and Walnut Street. I believe this is leftover from the College Avenue road upgrade project that was recently completed south of Third Street. Can this sign be removed please? In its present condition it
