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.

Dear City of Bloomington Representative, I am writing to formally request the consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the use of engine brakes (commonly known as “Jake Brakes”) on E 3rd Street West of SR 446 into Bloomington. This stretch of road, being a key route with both residential and commercial presence, frequently experiences disruptive noise pollution from heavy trucks utilizing engine brakes. As a resident in the area at Summerhouse, I can personally attest to the significant impact this has on daily life and overall well-being. The frequent noise not only disrupts daytime activities but also affects my ability to sleep soundly at night, compromising rest and health. Supporting Evidence: 1. Noise Pollution and Health: Studies have consistently shown that chronic exposure to high-decibel noise—like that produced by engine brakes—can contribute to sleep disturbances, increased stress levels, and even cardiovascular risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise above 55 dB is considered harmful, and engine brakes often exceed 80–100 dB. 2. Ordinance Effectiveness: Many municipalities across the U.S. have adopted engine brake ordinances in residential areas to reduce noise pollution and improve quality of life. 3. Local Impact: Given the residential density and commercial activity along E 3rd Street, enforcing a restriction would bring it in line with common noise abatement practices, ensuring a quieter, more livable environment for its residents. I believe that introducing this ordinance would not only improve the quality of life for residents but also align with community standards of noise control and public health considerations. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Paul Laudeman

People regularly park on the street on W. 15th off of Madison. People like the mailman understand to pull off the road onto the grass (which is a little annoying but acceptable). But we seem to have plenty of mowers, random people etc... that just think it's street parking. This blocks a sizeable portion of the road. It happens at least once a week. The disappointing part is that there is curb parking on Madison literally 20 ft around the corner. I've told a number of people but most don't care. It'd be great to have a NO PARKING sign on W. 15th or a 'street parking on Madison' sign or something. That's it. It would really make it safer considering we don't have sidewalks on this part of W. 15th so clogging the road creates a potential for disaster and inhibits things like buses for school/elderly.

A south-facing speed limit sign on Union just north of 7th and a north-facing speed limit sign on Union just south of 10th incorrectly state the speed limit as 25mph. According to muni code 15.24.020, Union is 30mph from 3rd to Law.

Is there anyway the city can paint parking lines on 100 W. 8th street? Before the paved this road, there were lines and since they paved this I believe last year, the city has neglected to doing this causing vehicles at times to take up two spaces. This has been mainly an issue at night. Please look into this. Also, the blue curb for the handicap space is extremely faded and really needs to be repainted.
