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.

Traffic signal at E Third St and Kingston Dr. has timing issues, observed daily for over a week: east/west signal activates left-turn indicator each cycle, when no cars have been in the left turn lane; north/south green light stays on for two minutes, even when no traffic is present for most of that time. I have observed significant traffic delays because of these timing issues. Thank you for checking.
Left turn arrow for 7th onto college does not work. Waited two green light cycles and never got a green arrow.
need a crosswalk signal/light across 10th from range road. Saw a family with stroller coming from apartments almost get hit by a car as they tried to cross 10th against right turning cars at stop light. We have sidewalks on both roads, both sides, yet no crosswalk signals.
Please add a deer- crossing sign at the sharp curve on Old State Road 37. Cars speeding down the hill may not know how frequently deer run deer are present.
There is a road construction sign that has been laying turned over in the grass for weeks at United Commerce Bank (on 3rd Street between College & Walnut) that needs to be stood up or removed. Thank you!
The new pedestrian crossing light on SR45/10th street east near Tamarron and University Elementary School is malfunctioning. It seems to be triggering itself ever 30 seconds or so in the morning at least. This is causing a long line of cars to backup and block Russell Road. I've included a Google traffic view so you can see the problem.
The light on College Mall Road at the entrance to Eastland Plaza is timed so that it backs traffic up into the intersection of College Mall Road and 3rd Streets. The light at Eastland Plaza turns red while the left turn signal from 3rd street is still green. Cars turn onto College Mall Road and get stopped in the intersection. This causes gridlock. Cars with a green light headed west on 3rd street cannot proceed.
I sent this on February 20th, and haven't heard from anyone. Previous case: #166355 We are writing to you again because of two more accidents at this same corner (14th Street and Walnut Street). Danna Workman was assigned to this on October 13, 2018, then she assigned it to Adam Wason, who then assigned it to Terri Porter; however, we have been reporting this problem corner to the City for many years. On February 5, 2018 we heard from Andrew Cibor, Transportation and Traffic Engineer, who encouraged us to submit comments via a mapping tool. We submitted our comments on February 6, 2018, but as of yet have heard nothing. On December 20, 2018 we wrote to you asking for a few traffic signs from 2nd Street to 17th Street on the Walnut corridor, but nothing has been done, and we have not received a response. One of the last accidents hit our landscaped flower bed and took out our irrigation as well as our treated landscape wood to hold in the mulch and flowers. We had to replace the landscape wood, but will have to wait until Spring to replace the irrigation system there. The other recent accident (February 16, 2019) took out another irrigation head, but worst yet, it took down the very large City street light with a light attached to it for our parking lot, which we pay Duke Energy for every month. You have told us in years past that you are not seeing that many accidents reported to the City; however, if only one car is involved or even two, many times it goes unreported, and they fix their cars themselves, but our damage is left for us to repair. Last year, you did install white posts on the west side of Walnut along with pedestrian lines on the street. However, that has done nothing to slow the traffic or stop accidents. I saw two young people on scooters yesterday trying to cross at that corner, and I was concerned for their safety, as the cars were speeding by without stopping for the pedestrians. It was reported in the newspaper this morning that Mayor Hamilton is spending quite a lot of money to assess the trees in Bloomington. And, while that maybe needed, I feel the safety of the residents of Bloomington and their guests is needed more. Please respond to us as soon as possible.

The new ped x-walk near Smith Rd and Hwy 45 seems to go off when no one is around. also, from clear to blinking red means about to turn red. but once red, it then goes to blinking red. what does that mean? can i do then, or do i need to wait until the blinking stops. signage is unclear on the meaning of the signals.
