The new sensor traffic lights for north/south traffic at the Dunn/Hwy 45 intersection do not sense bicycles. Because the lights differentiate between the left turn and straight lanes, and most traffic is turning left onto the bypass (in both directions) there are often few cars going straight and the straight green light is often not activated - it remains red and only the left turn green lights are activated. Unfortunately there are not good alternative options for bikers, since there are no bike lanes or paths north of the bypass, so bikes must share the driving lanes with cars up to that point. Using the light is the most reasonable approach for cyclists and bike commuters, as there is no other safe access to get to city neighborhoods north of the bypass.

The attached photo shows the pedestrian signal at the corner of East 3rd Street and Woodscrest Drive in Bloomington. As you can see, northbound traffic on Woodscrest has a right-turn arrow at the same time that pedestrians crossing 3rd Street have a "walk" signal, which puts them directly in the path of the turning traffic. Surely this is not the way a properly designed pedestrian signal is supposed to work! Imagine the lawsuit when a motorist strikes a pedestrian in this crosswalk and it turns out they were both obeying their signals...

Walk signal for pedestrians crossing aAtwater at Henderson is off and dangerous, restricting crossing when it should and encouraging crossing when it shouldn't. I've seen at least one close call. Please fix this! Thanks

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.

East 6th Street traffic stop at Dunn: there appears to be a stop sign, which I also believe had a 1 way and Do Not Enter sign on it, missing. Thanks!

The street sign at the intersection of East Stephens and Deckard is both bent in half and tilted upward, making it incredibly difficult to read.
