I’m at Johnny Junction with a flat tire in the pouring rain from a pot at the intersection of walnut and Winslow. Are you going to pay for the tire?

first, thank you for putting stop signs back on 7th street. there are a number of speed bumps,speed humps around the city. i have only found one marked. maybe, perhaps signs could placed to give warning to motorist approaching the bumps, humps. thank you.
There are no signs on Coolidge or Brown streets by the Broadview Learning Center and Bloomington Graduation School building indicating it is a school or reducing speed limits. BGS is an alternative high school in MCCSC, but the students are entitled to the same protections as any traditional high school. Please remedy this inequity.
East 7th is unique in that it is two parallel roads each with its own signage. Stop signs have been installed, removed and reinstalled at various intersections. No where else is there traffic going the opposite direction (west) on both sides of an eastbound vehicular lane. Nor is there another pair of lanes going east with a westbound lane in between them anywhere else in town. The stop signs become more critical due to the additional complexity. Going east the vehicular lanes cannot see their signs. The bike next to me yesterday blew thru every sign while pointing at drivers at the intersections. When the motorized bike, electric scooter etc. keeps going as he did the car driver will instinctively assume the same especially if there isn't a sign visible until the last minute. Delivery trucks, city maintenance vehicles, and trash bins blocking one or the other at times create confusion. Remove the trees and, if a barrier is deemed necessary, plant low bushes.
Please consider a stop sign on Southdowns and circle drive. People come up westbound on southdowns heading around the corner very fast. We have many walkers and children and it is a blind curve.
Cars and buses regularly speed on this street, often exceeding 35 miles per hour. Due to their speed, they are unable to stop at the stop signs—including city buses. I am requesting that a speed limit sign be installed, ideally one that displays drivers’ actual speed (similar to those used in school zones). Our street and its connection to First Street have effectively become an unofficial bypass for east–west and west–east traffic, including city buses. This is a residentially zoned area with pedestrians, cyclists, children, pets, and wildlife. The sidewalks are narrow, and vehicles—especially buses—traveling at high speeds pose a serious risk. I have personally witnessed both buses and cars run stop signs, even when pedestrians, families with baby carriages, and cyclists are present. The cars/buses still don't stop and merely drive around the "obstacles." At a minimum, a visible speed limit sign should be installed—preferably one that tracks and displays speeds.
corner of Village and Loroy - the street sign has been down for about a month. It fell over in the wind.
Traffic light at S Patterson and West 2nd continues to malfunction. Northbound traffic was backed up to Allen this morning. The problem is the sensor (camera?) is not picking up cars in the right lane on northbound Patterson so it is not cycling green, until someone pulls into the left turn lane. It cycled four times this morning at 7:30am before turning green for the long line of cars that were backed up. It only went green when the second car in line gave up and pulled into the left turn lane. This is the second time in two weeks I've reported this problem.
Once again this morning, northbound Patterson traffic light was not cycling green at West 2nd. This happens whenever there is a car-length space in between the first and second vehicles stopped at the light. The traffic signals cycled three times without a green light before the second car finally pulled forward and triggered the light to turn green. When will this be fixed?
The traffic lights at 10th Street and the Bypass no longer operate the way they used to. Either the sensors no longer work, or the system has been set up in a manner that allows for particularly long waits for cars traveling east or west: left turn signals are triggered whether there are cars needing to turn left or not. The eastbound direction always gets the green light first, regardless of traffic. This always occurs, whether during rush hour or even on Sunday mornings at 7:30 a.m. This very inefficient setup is not how they used to function. Why?
