In the alley adjacent to Bloomington Center for Global Children at 1111 North Walnut Street, traffic often travels both ways. As a parent who picks up a young child there, I am keenly aware of the danger presented by a two way alley adjacent to a child care center. I am requesting that this alley be made one way with traffic control as well, as the traffic traveling north on Walnut street presents another danger to those individuals turning west into the alley next to the center.

7th and Dunn and 7th and Indiana have become absolutely terrifying since the bike lanes were installed. The main issue is on 7th and Dunn St: without a four way stop, it is very dangerous to travel on Dunn St. people do not check for bikes/scooters in their right-away lane, which leads to countless near accidents. I live on Dunn, and it often takes nearly 5 minutes to get out of this intersection, due to the heavy traffic which comes from the Indiana and 7th intersection. I have witnessed major accidents at both of these intersections. At 7th and Indiana, the stop line (on 7th) is so far back that cars on Indiana street cannot see the stopped cars on 7th until they themselves are stopped. This leads to confusion/road rage from the cars on Indiana when they think those traveling on 7th didn’t come to a complete stop. 4 way stop sign should be reinstated on 7th and Dunn Intersection, and something needs to be done to improve vision on 7th and Indiana.

Starting the 7th Street Bikeway project is great. I hope we have lots of low-traffic thoroughfares in twon some day. But finish what you started on Allen Street. There is no signs, no flashing beacons, no paint. Nothing that designates the street a low and slow traffic area. Cars drive way faster now with the "improvements" then they did with the hodgepodge pilot. Put some signs up. Paint the street. Put some flashers at the Washington St intersection and the Henderson St intersection. Allen is not finished.

Hello! At the intersection of 6th and Waldron in the Near West Neighborhood of Bloomington is a circular installment--a raised concrete circle with a planter in the middle, with hazard signs. It's very confusing whether motorists should treat this as a roundabout or a regular intersection (i.e. a two-way stop, as Waldron has stop signs). Recently I've had two near-accidents, as I treated it as a roundabout: traveling west along 6th street, I needed to turn south onto Waldron, so I went three-quarters around the "roundabout" to get onto Waldron. According to Street Division, whom I just called, this was the correct course of action. However, both times, a car traveling north along Waldron assumed that--since I had gone to the right of the installement--I was heading straight along 6th, so they tried to turn left onto 6th and nearly hit me as I rounded the "roundabout." Therefore, I would like to request signage that clarifies to all motorists whether this is a roundabout or not. Specifically, I think this should be a roundabout. The current hazard signs and construction only indicate that there is an object to be avoided--not how drivers should behave. Thank you for your time.

the 1700 blk of N Washington St is extremely difficult to drive on. constantly cars are parked on both sides of the street. there are no parking signs on the north bound side, but not on the south bound side. Also, is there a plan to place no parking signs in the 300 and 400 block on East 19th St? This area is also impassable throughout the day and night hours. Thank you.

Hi! This is a request for stop sign be placed on 14th Street at Entrance at The Stadnard and at entrance between 350 E. 14th St. and 450 E. 14th St. This will allow for residents to exit safely, pedestrians to cross the street safely and slow cars down

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.

With the closure of Walnut Street Pike the amount of traffic (and speeders) going down Jaime Ln/Heather Dr as an unlisted detour is making the neighborhood less safe. Can the city please install temporary speed bumps?

The intersection of South walnut/South walnut street pike and winslow is a two way stop when it absolutely needs to be a four way or have a light. During heavy traffic periods in the evening the intersection is impossible to cross or navigate and is extremely unsafe. Please do something about this awful intersection.
