Damaged guardrail on culvert side of street. Can be seen from google maps. I first reported this situation last summer (2016) and was advised city was awaiting contract and materials. I reported it because I feel it could become a safety hazard during the winter months with slick and icy streets.

To whom it may concern:
I'm writing today about the intersection of S. Hillsdale Dr and E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. Specifically, I'm concerned with the functioning of the traffic signal at that intersection. In short, because the stop line is set pretty far back on Westbound lane of E 3rd St, Westbound drivers rushing through the yellow light have to go a very long way, much longer than those of us using the yellow to make a left turn northbound onto Hillsdale (when there is traffic, there is no choice except making left on the yellow). I'm not doing a great job explaining it here but given the long set-back, it seems odd that both of those lights turn yellow at the same time. I'd be happy to explain better via phone and/or someone could easily observe this dynamic at said intersection. Thanks

The sidewalk ends abruptly in a very dangerous intersection. This turn needs to be improved for pedestrian safety. The sidewalk should not be on only one side of the road, particularly in such a dangerous location for pedestrians to cross the road, just to have the sidewalk reappear only meters away.

South side of 3rd St, between Woodscrest and Overhill, there's a construction sign and posts laying down across the sidewalk and completely blocking it. Thank you!
Traffic Suggestions

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.

Over grown bushes at 8th and Hillsdale make it impossible to see oncoming traffic

Heading west on 8th at intersection with Hillsdale. Thick grove of invasive weeds that have become bushes is hiding the stop sign and hindering visibility of vehicles coming from the north.

I'm the manager of Big Red Liquors. I have had several issues with the intersection in front of my store. It has been frustrating over the past couple years, but my recent incident has pushed me to want to request some signs.
First, a right turn on red must yield to U turn. Too often have I had close calls from people not only failing to yield the right of way, but running the red light while doing so. I've nearly been hit multiple times.
Second, I believe a no left turn sign is needed on the south side of the intersection. Our entrance is purposely designed so vehicles can not enter from that direction (per the request of the city). There have been accidents due to people making a left turn. Not to mention the angry customers who don't recognize that the entrance isn't made to accommodate a left turn. They have seriously damaged their vehicle attempting to enter our parking lot.
Finally, I have had a very serious issue with people driving through our parking lot at a extremely dangerous manner, to avoid the street light. They speed through thr parking lot, drive over the sidewalk, and have caused accidents. I have nearly been run over multiple times. As well as other employees, customers, and our delivery drivers. I would like to request some kind of sign stating that it is illegal to use our parking lot to avoid the intersection.
Thank you for your consideration.
