Can the city put some pressure on INDOT to open some lanes on 3rd and 2nd bridges? We have gridlock daily. Or maybe station cops to direct traffic? Or both? It's really out of hand and I rarely see anyone doing any work!
Please place deer crossing signs on North Range Road. A screenshot of suggested locations on either end of the median is attached. While walking my dog last night, I saw a car driving around the bend way too fast, hit a deer, and just drove off. The deer has a badly broken back leg, but unfortunately hobbled back into the woods by the IU cross country course before I could get to him/her. Especially with the construction going on with the new hospital, animals are being displaced and showing up around our apartment. Please place signs warning drivers of deer that may be crossing. I am willing to donate money for this if needed so contact me. Thank you.
I live at the corner of W 3rd and Jackson Sts. There is a "traffic calming" device at the west end of the intersection. Another car just struct the curb with some damage today. Last Friday evening two cars struck the device. A week or so ago a Bloomington Police Car struct the curb and blew a tire. This is a common occurrence day and night, on a daily basis. Recently a crew repainted the curb yellow and glued on reflectors. The reflectors were soon scrubbed off by cars hitting the curbs. The curb needs a visible warning at eye-level that drivers can see. They obviously do not see the curb below their eye level. The new yellow paint curb has been hit so many times it is already black with tire rubber. Thanks.
The brick street on Park Avenue, in between 8th and 9th Streets, was torn up by the construction crews when they built the new Fiji house. They completed the work a while ago, but the street is still in awful shape. There are ruts everywhere, and a huge hole just south of 9th street. The bricks need to be replaced on this whole block.
I am so grateful for the new traffic light at the intersection of Bloomfield rd and Rolling Ridge Way (exiting Twin Lakes Rec Center), but I cannot wait until you have paved the remaining part of the exit. There is a pretty nasty sharp ridge now that my tires don't like at all. Thanks!
The curb cut on the SW corner of 9th and Walnut is in bad disrepair. Impassable for anyone in a wheelchair and also very dangerous for everyone. It's been this way for several months now.
Dear City of Bloomington, This is not a complaint, rather a thank you. Thank you for completing the Old 37 Curve Correction project so quickly and for doing a great job. I wish that the I-69 project were so efficient. Sincerely, Troy Byler
It's not really a pothole, more like a bad spot in the road that dips down quite deep, large enough for 1 tire. Driving East on Moore's Pike, just past the entrance to Hyde Park, on the right is a large dip in the road, large enough for one tire. Everyone swerves to miss it, which could easily cause an accident into oncoming traffic.
Pot hole from utility cut, just east of cross walk at Hyde Park entrance on Moores Pike, east-bound lane. Has been repaired twice, is sinking again.
Just after the overpass when headed north on Smith Road (toward 10th Street) there is a large pothole that takes up the entirety of the bike lane. That area had been closed off for several weeks to fix a hole created by the utility crew working on the power lines. However, it was not completely filled and the hole that was left cannot be biked over safely. The situation is now more dangerous than when the area was closed off, as there are no cones or tape to indicate to the cyclists and the drivers that the cyclist will need to enter the traffic lane to avoid wrecking over the pothole. As is, this serves a serious danger. Someone is either going to get hit by a car while trying to avoid the large hole the are not expecting, or hit it and fall into traffic.
