To whom it may concern: I'm writing today about the intersection of S. Hillsdale Dr and E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. Specifically, I'm concerned with the functioning of the traffic signal at that intersection. In short, because the stop line is set pretty far back on Westbound lane of E 3rd St, Westbound drivers rushing through the yellow light have to go a very long way, much longer than those of us using the yellow to make a left turn northbound onto Hillsdale (when there is traffic, there is no choice except making left on the yellow). I'm not doing a great job explaining it here but given the long set-back, it seems odd that both of those lights turn yellow at the same time. I'd be happy to explain better via phone and/or someone could easily observe this dynamic at said intersection. Thanks

The traffic on West Third Street is consistently HORRID. The timing of the traffic lights desperately needs to be changed. Especially around peak times, like morning rush, noon-ish, and 5:00pm, traffic is so backed up and the traffic lights are so poorly timed that barely two or three cars are making it through a single light. What should be a 15 minute drive to-and-from work for me (even with some normal peak traffic factored in) but it usually takes about 45 minutes. PLEASE have someone from your department attempt to drive from downtown to the West side of town via W. 3rd street so you can see first-hand how awful it is and how poorly timed the lights are. It doesn't make sense for one light to turn green if the light ahead of it is still red and the cars are completely backed up. Nobody can go anywhere! My car has overheated a few times from remaining stagnant for so long. Please have someone do something about this and PLEASE have someone from your office try it out for themselves during a peak traffic time. It is unbelievable and ridiculous and needs to be adjusted.

Please place a stop sign at 7th and Hillsdale. It would prevent speeding in the neighborhood and help the bikers on the trail to cross safely.

Why is there a restriction on left-hand turns off Patterson onto South Adams at this location (Patterson and South Adams)?

3rd and Jordan, north bound. The new configuration encourages both north bound lanes to proceed north, which is only one lane wide. The left side light should be left turn only, and that lane should be clearly marked left turn only. I took my granddaughter to lots of Nutcracker rehearsals, and this scared me all the time. Hopefully by next years performance this will be fixed. Otherwise an excellent upgrade to this important intersection.

Can we please set the traffic lights on 10th street back to the automatic change when a car pulls up. I know the 10th and Union st light has still not been fixed, but the light at 10th and Jordan as well as 10th and Fee continually cycle through full walk cycles 24 hours a day. Pretty please with sugar on top!

Turn arrows at the 17th and Fee intersection are not operational for any direction. Has been a problem for multiple years.

Case Date:

Heading east on 17th st, turning north into Fee lane, the left turn light is never activated. There is usually heavy westbound traffic when people attempting a left at this light and it can be difficult to fit in a turn with unending oncoming traffic.

Traffic is backed up all the way to nearly Childs Elementary because of the Sare road closing and detour. The stop light at High and Hillside needs to be reprogrammed to allow more traffic through going north and south.
