Traffic Related Complaints

Case Date:

On Vernal Pike heading east in to the City, there is a significant speed limit change once you reach Cresent Road. There is a reader board that alerts you to the speed limit change, but it is located essentially right at the zone change itself. This is setting up a dangerous situation, especially in regards to school bus traffic and children entering/exiting buses. Vehicles are going very fast and suddenly the speed limit changes very fast (from 40 mph to 20 mph). Can the reader board sign please be moved about 500' west (prior to entering bridge)? If not, can another warning sign or signal of some type be installed to give drivers an advanced warning of the speed limit change? This will really help with the safety of this situation. Thank you very much.

Biking & Walking

Case Date:
5/2/2018

The Bloomington Bagel Company at 113 N. Dunn Street recently installed giant umbrellas on their outdoor patio tables. As a result, the tables and chairs are extending into the pedestrian right of way on the sidewalk. The umbrellas are also not tall enough to safely walk under. It appears to be presenting several hazards and blocking safe access for pedestrians and individuals who use wheelchairs.

Trying to travel anywhere on the South side is deplorable. Finish a project before you close down more roads. There is no one working on W Gordon Pike anymore and you started E Rhorer. Then you have Country Club shut down and just put up signs that Grimes is going to be closing soon. What the hell? This is a shit show. You are making it impossible to travel from East to West and causing MASSIVE traffic backups. Please finish Country Club or Gordon before you close down Grimes too. Did you even bother to stop and think these decisions through? If so I would like to know who in what world decided all these closures was a good idea, on top of Tapp being closed and 37 being worked on, let alone other projects in Bloomington.

Traffic Signals

2755 West Bloomfield Road

Case Date:
5/22/2018

Backed up West bound traffic on Bloomfield Road is made a bit worse with the lights here off sensor during construction. The timing is providing more time than needed for cross traffic and turn lane, should be set much longer for E-W Bloomfield. The light further east at Twin Lakes has very sensitive sensor for cross traffic, also adding to the backup, could let the cross traffic wait longer and reset if they escape with a right turn on red to keep the E-W flow going if it can.

There is an intersection on 3rd Street and South Park Ridge Road that is extremely dangerous. I had a friend get in an accident today making a left out of South Park Ridge Rd. onto 3rd street. Thankfully, no one was injured, however, both cars were totaled. This is the second person I know from my apartment complex that has gotten hit making that same left turn. I, myself, have almost gotten hit there. Upon speaking to the police officer at the scene today, I discovered that there have been numerous accidents at that intersection. There needs to be a traffic light there, or at least a blinking yellow since the speed limit raises to 40 a light before. I hope that other people have complained about this and that this complaint isn't taken lightly. The safety of the many students and permanent residents of Bloomington are more important than the flow of traffic.
