How about adding a left-turn arrow to the traffic signal at 3rd and Woodscrest, for people trying to turn left onto Woodscrest from Third? It is very difficult for more than a single vehicle to turn left there when there is any amount of traffic. There is a popular bank (IUCU) on Woodscrest, and more importantly, UrgentCare is there.
I believe that the intersection of Hunter and Fess (one block North of the new Bloomingfoods store) should be changed from a 2 way stop to a 4 way stop. When travelling west on Hunter, it is very difficult to see any traffic coming up Fess (north bound) until you are completely in the street. This traffic on Fess does not stop today, while Hunter does stop. With the significant number of cars normally parked on Fess, it is very difficult to see oncoming traffic until you are nearly into the oncoming traffic lane. With the new Bloomingfoods, there seems to be a growing amount of traffic using Fess in this area. I regular use Hunter on my bicycle, and this intersection is the most dangerous one on Hunter, and would benefit from being converted to a 4 way stop.
Requesting road improvements to North smith or Morningside deterrent. Traffic at end of business day constantly goes through Morningside lots and quickly due to smith backup.
When is Bloomington getting a Tesla SuperCharger? Seems way overdue to me.
Left turn lane on 10th at Union and 10th badly needed. Constant backups waiting on one car. Or alternatively no left turn on 10th there permitted to Union either direction.
I'd love to see a bus stop in Matlock Heights. I am not comfortable with my kids crossing the Bypass to get to existing bus stops, which really limits their ability to ride public transit. Thanks!
Please put up a sign to prevent left turn from third to Union during busy times. Much better for flow.
Cars travel too fast on Grimes between Woodlawn and Henderson. Speed bumps could help slow the speed of traffic.
I use the Walnut St and Fairfax Rd intersection about 10 time a week, going to and from work. Coming from Fairfax Rd turning left on to Walnut (to get to 37) is challenging, inefficient and dangerous. There is a designated left turn lane, but no left turn green light. Frequently only one car is able to turn left during a green light, causing several cars behind also turning left (after the light has changed) to rush through on turning left to get through intersection. Coming from the opposite direction, there is no left turn lane and to my knowledge no other designated lane, but the lane is wide enough for cars that are going straight to pass (on the right) the vehicles stuck waiting to turn left. Thus potentially causing an accident in the intersection. Left turning cars onto Walnut St don't see the 2nd car across passing the car in front of them waiting to turn left on to Walnut St. My suggestion would be to clearly mark lanes on each side of the intersection and put up a traffic light that includes green left turn signals for the Fairfax Rd and Walnut Street intersection. Thank you for your time.
