Light is still malfunctioning. Left turn arrow from northbound Sare to west turn onto E. Moore's Pk cycles when there are no cars and stays green for well over a minute.
We were traveling east on 10th St. this evening, approaching the bypass on the east side. While waiting for the red light to change to green, the train gate on the bypass lowered and a train approached also from the east. When a train is crossing the bypass, the light rightly does not allow traffic through from the north, as it would soon have nowhere to go. This is good. BUT it also did not allow our lane to travel through the intersection going east! I know there is no separate right-turn signal there to stop people from turning south onto the bypass, but it is not logical to stop all traffic going east as well. And besides, the light DOES allow westbound traffic on 10th Street to BOTH continue west AND turn south onto the bypass -- even though there is a separate signal there for the south-turn lane -- and those cars then are stopped by the crossing gate. This is really illogical, and should be remedied.
We drove down Gates Drive on Saturday and noticed 6-8 lamps are out on the street lights. I don't know if these are City of Bloomington or Privately maintained.
There is a big hole in the road in front of my house, address 2776 E Creeks Edge Drive Bloomington, IN 47401
Not sure if this has been addressed, but around 11am today, the southbound light on Hershey at Empire simply would not turn green (but the left turn arrow seemed to work. This went on for 4 cycles before I turned off onto Empire instead of waiting.
The left turn arrow from northbound S. Sare Rd. for vehicles turning left onto Moore's Pike frequently cycles on for more than a minute when there are no cars turning left. It stays green even longer than the opposing left turn arrow for southbound vehicles turning east that actually had cars turning. It backs traffic up on College Mall Road significantly. I've seen this malfunction on multiple occasions.
This possibly is not so much a pothole as sunken pavement, but the effect is the same. Right as Tapp meets Leonard Springs there is a bad area that goes across most of Tapp Road, and it is necessary to come to a near stop to avoid being jarred, even if one has already stopped for the new traffic light.
The alley running west off Pine Street between Kirkwood and 6th has numerous potholes. it is paved where it comes off Pine and it is this section that is very rough and needs attention
Lots of glass where you turn right onto 37 from vernal pike
I hope I can coherently explain this. If I don't effectively convey my complaint, please call me. I work for IU Campus Bus Service. I've noticed that the pedestrian crossing signal for peds crossing Fee Ln on the north side of 10th will stay on the "Walk" signal during the transition from 10th St having a green light to an all red (to allow peds to cross in all directions). The problem with this configuration is that a vehicle can effectively get stuck in the middle of the intersection if it was waiting to turn left/north onto Fee from Tenth, while partially in the intersection. In this situation, vehicles can either block the intersection or attempt to squeeze through pedestrians crossing on the north side of the intersection. As you can imagine with a bus, this is a dangerous dilemma.
