When traveling W. on Kirkwood and coming to the light at Adams, there are 2 left turn lanes but no good markings to guide cars to their respective lanes on Adams. We were almost hit by a car next to us that drifted into our lane as we turned. You need to put some nice wide solid white arcs to prevent an accident there.

The City has done a great job getting the traffic lights between 1st street onward north on Walnut Street timed so that driven at the speed limit, one can easily drive on Walnut without hitting any red lights. This greatly decreases traffic, improves commute time, and increases gas mileage. It's a pleasure to drive through these timed lights.. except...
The new light at Walnut and Smith is not incorporated with the other timed lights. It's a good light for the parents who are dropping their children off at the Project School, and I understand the need for it, but it appears that light is triggered by a vehicle waiting on Smith Ave, and the trigger occurs very quickly once a vehicle stops there to wait. I'm sure this is fine during school hours, as not many vehicles use that light, but during the morning traffic flow, many parents use that light, and that signal interrupts the flow of traffic on Walnut.
This could be fixed by eliminating the trigger based on a waiting vehicle on Smith, and incorporating that light with the other timed lights. This traffic pattern works well for all of the other cross streets, I don't see why it would be an inconvenience for anyone waiting at the light on Smith.
Thank you!

I would like to request that a turn signal be added to the traffic lights at the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection for drivers on 3rd Street coming from the East who wish to turn South onto Woodscrest. There is already a turn signal on Woodscrest for drivers who are driving North and turn West onto 3rd Street, and that turn signal is extremely helpful. However, there is no turn signal on 3rd Street for people who wish to turn left onto Woodscrest after coming from the East, and as a result, the turn is very difficult and often even unsafe to make. Often times, drivers never have a chance to make a left turn while the light is green due to the often high traffic on 3rd street, and so the drivers are able to turn only when the light turns yellow. Adding a turn signal there would undoubtedly increase the safety for everyone at that intersection. Many of the other intersections on 3rd Street have traffic lights with left turn signals, even for both the East and West directions, and I don't think that the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection should continue to lack a turn signal for drivers turning left onto Woodscrest. Thank you.

1717 Circle Dr, Bloomington, IN. The grasses on the corner of Circle Dve and Ruby Lane make it difficult for a driver/cyclist coming to the intersection able to see oncoming traffic from the east? As a driver/cyclist you have to come out into the intersection to see if you can proceed. Can these be trimmed or the one closest to the corner removed to allow visibility?

There needs to be a pedistrian crossing at the corner of Union and 5th. It is often dangerous to cross there.

Hello, my child is a student at Ivy Tech Bloomington and has classes in two Ivy Tech locations that are across the street from each other on Liberty Dr. The concern is that she (and many students who don't have cars) must cross Liberty Dr at very busy times during the day to reach her next class, changing buildings. Please ensure there is School signage and a stop sign on Liberty Drive across the 2 Ivy Tech buildings so that the pedestrians/students can safely cross Liberty Dr when attending classes. The addresses of the 2 buildings are 1907 Liberty Dr, Bloomington, IN 47403 and 2100 Liberty Dr, Bloomington, IN 47403. Thank you.

At least half a dozen times since the new bike lanes were created on Third Street near Jordan Avenue, I have been driving westbound on Third Street, stopped at the light at Jordan, in the right lane, with my right turn signal on, only to have someone pass me on the right, driving in the bike lane (and sometimes proceeding to turn right on red at a "No turn on red" sign). I saw two cars in a row do this today. The lane markings seem clear enough to me, but a lot of people are evidently not understanding them. Can anything be done to make it clearer that that is not a drive lane?

I recommend removing the new zebra crossing at the lights on the corner of 3rd and Jordan. It is the only zebra crossong at this intersection but all pedestrian crossing at this intersection is controlled by crossing signals. I have seen a number of pedestrians cross against the crossing signal at this zebra crossing suggesting there may be some confusion regarding when pedestrians can cross.
