Traveling west on Kirkwood, turning left onto Adams, there is a speed limit sign of 25 MPH. Continuing west on 3rd street, there are no other speed limit signs until you get in front of the Cozy Table restaurant. That sign is 35 MPH. There are signs going the other direction, indicating 35 MPH, all the way. Is this the way this street is supposed to be signed? By the way, in case no one noticed, the typical speed of traffic on west 3rd is about 45 MPH.
Several months ago I almost had an accident while going west on 3rd St. and turning left on College. I did not see a car coming east on 3rd St. Last week I was going east on 3rd and was coming up from the overpass and I understood why I previously did not see the car I almost hit. The slope of the street and the plant pots obstruct seeing cars. You might consider removing the pots to allow for a better view in both directions.
Hello, I have lived at 410 West Dodds Street, between Rogers and Madison since 2001. I'm very happy here and would like to stay in this neighborhood. My mom lives at 302 West Dodds. One thing that has always been a concern to me and my family on this street how fast people drive on it. For some reason they they use the area between the B-line crossing and Rogers to step hard on the gas. I've emailed with the Mayor a few times over the years about this and have called the police a few times. Police driving by more often a few times does not help. With the new businesses on this street and the increased foot traffic (that I'm happy about) safety is becoming even more of a concern. Finally, my suggestion: Will you please direct me to the process of applying for speed bumps on this street? It would be much safer. I guarantee that most people in my neighborhood would vote for it. Thanks for your time
Consider installing "Wrong Way" signs for cyclists on Third Street. As a bus operator, I can't tell you how many near-collisions I've had with cyclists popping out of nowhere going the wrong way on Third at night.

I work at IU at 201 N Indiana in the "International Programs" building. Cars go the wrong way ALL of the time & it's so dangerous. Using either images or words, I suggest 2 "Do not enter" signs on the back of the 2 stop signs on Indiana at 7th, a "Left only" (or 'not right') sign on 6th at Indiana, & "Do not enter" on the back of the stop signs on 6th at Indiana. Happy to explain more. Deb
I live on a narrow road that is circular. One way in; one way out. There are 10 homes on our road and 2 of the homes have small children. I like to be able to take my dogs for a walk on our road as well. Because of our wooded area, the heavy brush and the turns in the road, it is VERY difficult for a driver to see very far ahead of them or supposedly to drive more than 15 miles an hour safely. Many visitors and delivery/service people don't seem to be able to be cautious despite the conditions. At my own expense would like to post a sign that is 24" X 18" on or near a large tree that faces the entrance to my neighborhood. It doesn't appear that any one person owns the property that the tree is on. I wonder if I can legally do this or do I have to get permission from the street department? There is not a sidewalk and as I said, there road is barely passable for 2 vehicles. My dogs and I have had to run to find a safe place to be before cars come flying towards us or from behind. Thank you in advance for your response.
This intersection needs a left turn only lane for cars turning off of 10th St. North onto Range Road. Sometimes cars in the lane for going straight swerve into the right lane to get around cars waiting to turn left even though visibility for this is poor and could confuse drivers turning right onto 10th St. from Pete Ellis. Just park in the post office parking lot and observe this intersection around 5 - 6 pm on a weekday and you can see for yourself. A left turn lane would greatly reduce accidents at this intersection.
I think there is no street sign on 3rd St for Johnson Dr. Also, why are there "No Outlet" signs on Johnson & Kimble? Usually these mean the same as "Dead End" - that you can only come out the street you went in. This is not the case. I was heading west, going to Valhalla. I thought I was at Johnson Ave, but did not see a street sign, and the "No Outlet" sign made me think it was not Johnson. Soon came Kimble, so we turned in there and were surprised to see a "No Outlet" sign there, too.
I'm new to Bloomington, currently residing on S Park Ave, so I'm not sure if the following has already been reported. I often find it frustrating that there is not a 4-way stop on at the "intersection" of 2nd st and S Park Ave. This isn't a typical intersection as 2nd street dead-ends into S Park causing drivers to have to turn right or left to continue on 2nd, depending on their direction. I realize that 2nd street has more traffic than S Park however traffic often gets backed up when drivers don't know who has the right-away. I've witness several close calls. I'm just looking for some feedback to see if this has been investigated and/or if anything can be done to address it. Many thanks for your time and consideration!
