The pedestrian signal at 7th and Walnut is broken.The button is no longer there- and the signal is dimmer than usual.
COB Twitter submission from @ToriLawhord: A light meant for those traveling southbound at the corner of Walnut St and E Miller Dr has completely turned around is now facing the northbound traffic. The wind must have turned it, but it could cause a severe accident. #Bloomington #MonroeCounty
The traffic signal on Walnut from 2nd street to 17th have lost sync, causing multiple stops along the route. Also, the loss of the overhead streetlights between 10th and 14th street on Walnut is disappointing. The doorway lights on the construction on the east side of the street serve to blind drivers more than it illuminates the area for safety.
It appears that a problem with the traffic signal system at the S. College Mall Rd. and E Covenanter Dr has caused the signal system to be reprogrammed for repeated phases with no pedestrian lights. Since the input sensors are not working, the pedestrian buttons do not work. The phase allowing auto crossing of College Mall Rd is much to short for pedestrians to get across. Until the complete repairs are made, the signal needs to be reprogrammed with a pedestrian phase. The intersection is very dangerous for pedestrians even with working pedestrian signals. With the current programming, the intersection is effectively unusable for pedestrians and very dangerous for those pedestrians who must cross (such as to catch the bus). This matter is an emergency and needs to be fixed immediately.
YIELD sign on Adams as you are going north on Adams and preparing to turn east on Kirkwood is facing AWAY from the street. It is facing the cemetery and there is no cemetery exit at that location. This sign should be turned so it faces the oncoming traffic-- vehicles going north on Adams and turning right on Kirkwood.
Missing stop sign at eastbound Covenanter Drive and Fenbrook Lane.
Light is completely out. No flashers.
Traffic signals at College Mall Road and Covenanter Drive are not working correctly. Left turn arrows are being presented even with no cars waiting to turn. Signal duration also seems to be working incorrectly and unrelated to actual traffic flow/demand. (This problem seems to have started the recent power outage and signal work at this intersection.)
Traffic light at College Mall Rd and Covenanter Drive is not cycling properly. The left turn loops or cameras are not working properly for traffic turning left from College Mall Rd onto Covenanter. The light is only allowing three to four cars to turn left for just six seconds. This causes southbound traffic on College Mall Rd to back up all the way to Burger King.
