Hello. I think our neighborhood is actually putting together a committee as so many people are concerned and keep complaining about speeding traffic on east morningside drive but we had a neighbor suggest a great idea of parking on the street or otherwise narrowing the street to slow down traffic, not just speed bumps. So ideas like https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/12-ways-slow-down-traffic-car-oriented-city/262221/. A neighbor suggest lines (or art) could be painted as an option to try. I forget what city it was but they simply painted parallel lines a few feet in from both sides of the road and it slowed traffic. Maybe this is cheaper for the city and can be tried? I hope someone from our neighborhood reaches out more formally soon and gives you all a call. I think we'll be part of the super cool 7-line someday? And guess we'll have something change then probably that hopefully will fix this. Maybe we can get the narrowing lines until then? The street is oddly too good right now, as it's clear and wide and easy to drive fast on! Can we get a random basketball goal and court painted? that would make cars slow down and think twice :) Take back our streets! Pleaes don't forget us. Thank you for making improvements to our safety in our neighborhoods! I drive like many, but there's no reason we can't slow down once we enter our residential neighborhoods.

Park ridge East is close to University but a shame there is no safe path. Spouse and I walked Smith tonight and don't feel safe letting our kids on this road. It would be awesome to have a walking path from PRE to Green Acres for neighborhood kids to safely get to the crosswalk. Awesome. Can you please pursue an easement or other way for this? Would help hundreds for years to come

There is not continuous sidewalk on Adams from Allen to 2nd street causing pedestrians to have to walk in the road in an unprotected area. On the East side of the road it literally ends in a wooded area and people have made a foot path from the end of the sidewalk, through the woods, to the road. On the West side of the road the sidewalk goes from 2nd south about a half a block and then just ends. This needs to taken care of by the city.

A bike is very much needed in front of or near The Book Corner. There’s nothing available on this end of the block forcing people to lock to streets signs.

When heading east on Covenanter, the signal at College Mall does not recognize bikes. If a cyclist is attempting to cross and there are no cars ahead or behind them, they have to wait through multiple signals until a car comes to activate the sensor. Covenanter is part of a marked bikeway for the city, which makes this situation all the more frustrating.

610 flats on n Smith is much improved. Rest of n Smith remains sqished for bikes but more importantly the sidewalk right next to a busy road is unsafe for kids walking to school, someday. Need buffer between sidewalk and road or traffic calming

The light at the Olson Elementary crosswalk is turning red about every 60 seconds even when there are no pedestrians. It seems like it needs to be reset. Usually it only turns red when someone pushes the crosswalk button.

Hello. I'm writing about the East-West Greenway on Bloomington's east side. Biking toward Park Ridge East Park there is a hump and a curve in route. Great biking route but cars are a bit quick. I read there is some new traffic calming initiative? I don't know what that involves but if a Greenway improvement could happen with a bump in those two spots it would be amazing. I appreciated new humps are going into Park Ridge along the same route east of campus and Pete Ellis, so having that all the way through would be a big safety plus for us. Thank you.
