The stop sign at Allendale & Bainbridge is constantly driven thru without cars stopping. It’s frightening when we have so many kids in the neighborhood, & it is a school bus stop. With school starting again, it’s a concern. I’ve seen numerous cars just whip around a school bus there without hardly slowing down. I also think it would be really helpful to have speed bumps on Eeliston Dr., on the way to the park. We have so many pedestrians on the street, and no sidewalk.

We live on the only road in Sherwood Oaks that has no side walks for pedestrians to use for safety when walking/biking. The issue with this is we live on a main thoroughfare to Sherwood Oaks Park, Rodgers Park, Clear Creek Trail, Childs Elementary, and Jackson Creek Elementary. We need better signs, and speed reduction devices such as speed bumps to slow down traffic that speed through our area and are a hazard to all that walk to the above places including children. The refusal to make this street part of the park green way and safer is absolutely absurd. The past excuses from the city included that we are a dead end with no speeding tickets or wrecks, which is why the city has refused to take action in the past. Please do not wait for someone to get injured or die on this road before you make it safer for all that live and use it for recreation.

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.

I and several others are concerned about speeding traffic on East Winston Street. Is it possible to place speed bumps or a flasher on our street?

The intersection of Burks Drive and Walnut Street needs to be crossed by pedestrians and cyclists fairly often, but there is lots of high speed traffic on that road. Pedestrians coming from the residential areas around Burks have no way to safely cross Walnut Street. The sidewalk on the east side of walnut is currently closed, but it is missing several sections even when it is open, so you can't even walk along Walnut to the crossing at Rhorer Road. This problem will be exacerbated by the new library branch. Residents east of Walnut will have no way to safely and easily reach the library except by car. There needs to be a light and crosswalk of some sort installed so that it is passable.

Just a suggestion, it would be helpful to have a crosswalk from Bloomington HS South from or around the faculty parking lot and or where the busses line up to a side walk. Currently, students are just crossing the street and it’s really unsafe.

Clearly line the double left hand turn lanes for the transition from southbound 45 Bypass to East bound E. Discovery Parkway. I've been almost hit multiple times making this turn. People have a hard time telling where they should be on the road. Lighting should also be added to this intersection, it is very difficult to see at night here.

Please put a traffic circle at the intersection of N Smith Rd. and E 10th St. Waits can be interminable and with the hospital now on this side of town it’s getting worse. It looks to me like there is plenty of room for a circle.

There is a bus stop here and many residents live at this apartment. I also see workers moving around a lot in this area. There is no cross walk to get people from scholar's quad apartments (or the IU buildings across from scholar's quad) to the nearest bus stop across the street. I have seen a lot of jay walking and close calls as residents attempt to cross the road to get to the bus bus on 10th and 45/46 bypass. Please consider placing a cross walk for residents to safely cross the street.

The intersection of Smith road and 10th Street has heavy traffic, especially in the morning and during the rush hour. The fact that there is university elementary school nearby the intersection makes the traffic heavier at times. However, the intersection is controlled only by one way stop sign. The fact that around the intersection the road on the 10th Street curves makes the traffic coming from Smith road challenging to turn on the 10th street. I strongly recommend putting traffic lights on that intersection to avoid accidents and relax the traffic around the intersection.
