Streetlight at the intersection of 2nd Street and South Walker Street is not functioning properly. I was forced to make a right hand turn as the light refused to turn green. I sat and watched the timer on the crosswalk allowing people to walk across. Count down to zero. While waiting at this light, I also had another vehicle approach for behind and sit behind me while I sat through a another cycle and it still did not change from red. This needs to be fixed. I have also noticed many of the lights around town require a vehicle in the straight away lane. When you are making a left hand turn in the left turn lane. There is no reason there are no sensors for the left turn lane on many of the streets in Bloomington.
One example of these streets is West Gifford road turning left onto Curry Pike. If it is 2:00 in the morning and I'm in the left turn lane and there will not be a another vehicle in the straight away lane, then there needs to be a sensor that allows the light to turn green. Even though there's no vehicle in the straight away lane left turn lane signal that actually register you are there are important too!

The left turn arrow does not activate for vehicles on north-bound Madison Street turning west onto 17th. I have experienced this issue for many months, and have witnessed others not activating the left turn arrow. Also, it appears that the light, itself, is twisted to slightly face south east, rather than due south.
It might be a good idea to repaint the stop indicator lines, as well.

Hello,
I had submitted a street light out (Rogers Street and Smith Avenue) and was told it was fixed. I have been out of town and noticed this morning that it was still not on. My address is 346 S. Rogers St. and this light is just south of me.
Thanks,
Jim

Can we get a flashing red four-way or something at Smith and Morningside? People NEVER stop and it is dangerous for bikers, walkers, and even cars that need to turn. Please enhance safety and enforcement somehow at intersection. Thank you. Repeat problem.

The street lights in the middle of the block in between 6th, 7th, Lincoln and Grant Streets do not stay on all night. This makes the alley ways that cut through the middle of this block too dark at night and it feels very unsafe for pedestrians walking through. I live on this block and have spoken to residents from three of the other houses on it and we all agree that the lights should remain on throughout the night to promote pedestrian safety. Keeping these lights on throughout the night will also prevent thieves from feeling tempted to break into our cars that all sit in the middle of the pitch black block during the night. I have provided a picture of one of the main lights that needs fixed, but there are at least two others on the block that have the same problem. We would all appreciate action being taken on these street lights as soon as possible.Thank you for your time.

Hello,
The traffic light at 17th and Fee does not generate a protected left turn arrow for northbound traffic on Fee Lane to turn left onto 17th street. Tonight one of our buses has waited through 5 light cycles and still hasn't been able to make it. I know it has been an option for that light in the past, and it has the two rows of lights to accommodate it. Could we please have the left turn arrow back?

Hi! This intersection has a new pedestrian button. I've noticed here and a few other places that if you don't push the button, no walk sign comes on. I find this inconvenient and confusing, and I'm curious why it's set up that way. I would love to know if there's something I'm not thinking of. If there isn't a good reason for this, though, please reset it so that the buttons can activate the light, but it's not necessary to press the button to get the walk sign. In other words, the default should stay the same as it used to be before the buttons - the walk sign always comes on when appropriate, but the button can activate the light to change when there are no cars to do so. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense, as it feels a little clunky to type it out. Thanks!
