I use the Walnut St and Fairfax Rd intersection about 10 time a week, going to and from work.
Coming from Fairfax Rd turning left on to Walnut (to get to 37) is challenging, inefficient and dangerous. There is a designated left turn lane, but no left turn green light. Frequently only one car is able to turn left during a green light, causing several cars behind also turning left (after the light has changed) to rush through on turning left to get through intersection. Coming from the opposite direction, there is no left turn lane and to my knowledge no other designated lane, but the lane is wide enough for cars that are going straight to pass (on the right) the vehicles stuck waiting to turn left. Thus potentially causing an accident in the intersection. Left turning cars onto Walnut St don't see the 2nd car across passing the car in front of them waiting to turn left on to Walnut St.
My suggestion would be to clearly mark lanes on each side of the intersection and put up a traffic light that includes green left turn signals for the Fairfax Rd and Walnut Street intersection.
Thank you for your time.

As a resident on the east side of Bloomington, I often find myself on 10th street because it is a main artery through town. I've always wondered why there isn't a designated left turn lane with a left arrow traffic light to help the traffic flow at the intersection at 10th and Pete Ellis. The designated lanes are as follows. Left turn/Straight and a right turn lane. People who turn left aren't able to do so easily because it's a busy street and people who wait behind them are forced to try to re-enter the traffic flow because other cars decide to use the right turn lane to go straight. Unless I'm mistaken, creating your own lane of traffic is frowned upon, so I'm constantly frustrated by the fact that I sit patiently in the left/straight lane behind a car waiting to turn, and then as I'm entering the intersection, have to watch out (yielding to cars that have decided to go around the situation) to avoid getting sideswiped.
Perhaps the city developers could look at this particular problem and re-designate the lanes or use resources to get a new light with a left turn arrow. I can't be the first person to have complained about the safety of this intersection.

There is no sign indicating 'Arden' street at the intersection of High and Arden. It makes it complicated giving directions! Thanks.

The sign on College Mall Rd right before Hillside that says "Right lane must turn right" is totally obscured by foliage.
Thanks for your attention to this.

Walnut St northbound - opposite the 40mph sign for southbound traffic, there used to be a 45mph sign for northbound. This sign disappeared 20 or 25 years ago & has not been replaced.

I live on a dead end street (3928 W Geranium Ln) and we have cars come flying down our street thinking they can access the main road. There are children on this street and it is becoming an issue as the neighborhood has increased in size so much the past two years. Please consider installing a "Dead End" sign on this street! Thank you!

The construction on west side of town needs completed! People are moving and shopping elsewhere. I will avoid it, its a joke to spend an hour or more in traffic.
