I have nearly hit pedestrians and bicyclists crossing at this location at night because there are no street lights any where near this exceptionally long crosswalk. Since turning onto 7th street from a south heading means you are competing with north bound traffic on a major road, creeping across to look for pedestrians is not an option and straining to look for pedestrians poses a distraction when gauging oncoming traffic. Thank you.

Eighth Street is extremely poorly lit. From Walnut all the way to Fess there are almost no street lights and its extremely dangerous. I feel unsafe walking home from the IU campus at night, or even walking home from a restaurant in the evening. The lack of street lights in this area is simply ridiculous. The city of Bloomington has an obligation to make sure its citizens are safe and it is neglecting to do so. The area that is the subject of this complaint is the exact same street in which Hannah Wilson was abducted and murdered, and within the last month the exact same street has been the location of an armed robbery. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that something must be done to make this area safer. The city has a responsibility to do everything within its power to protect its citizens, and adding a few streetlights hardly seems like an impossible task.

East Matlock Road is in need of street lights beginning from the corner of the 45/46 bypass continuing to the Headley School building. There are many residents, bicyclists, and students who use the street as a means of pedestrian passage to the stadium and IU campus at all hours of the night. There are only two lights - one on each end of the street - leaving the stretch in between to be dangerously dark and a hazard to walkers, bicyclists, drivers, and residents alike. Furthermore, with nearby cases of vandalism, theft, as well as the recent disappearance and death of an IU Student in the area, many residents have become concerned over the lack of lighting on the street. There are several utility poles lining the street where street lamps could be placed. The installation of street lamps would benefit not only pedestrian safety and visibility to drivers, but would also allow residents peace-of-mind with the added safety measures that lights would provide.

The mechanism for sensing vehicles that have exited off 37 and wish to turn left at the light to get onto 45/2nd street does not work for my motorcycle. On several occasions I have had to sit at the light 6-15 minutes until another car came up behind me and triggered the light to change. If a vehicle comes to the light from the south side (Sam's Club) the light triggers for them but doesn't allow me to turn left.

We live in a neighborhood off That Rd. between 37 and Rogers St. We are at the end of a dead end road and there has been a "dead end" sign missing for over a year now. No one has driven through this, but we think that someone could in the future. We also get numerous vehicles that have to turn around in our driveway because of this as well.
This may or may not be in your area, but I thought I'd pass it along. If it's not in city limits, could you possibly pass it along to the proper people.
Thanks!
