The intersection of 14th and Indiana is very dangerous. If heading west on 14th street the incline of Indiana in combination with the parked cars along Indiana causes for you to not be able to see if it is safe to cross. I believe that a 4 way stop on the corner of Indiana and 14th is needed. I personally have seen many near accidents as I am a resident of this area and have almost gotten into an accident myself due to not being able to see traffic driving south on Indiana.
Feel free to contact me about more information. As a student, I do not want to see other students become injured due to blocked line of view.

The crosswalk on Henderson near Templeton school between Driscoll and Wilson continues to be dangerous. We use it daily to and from school with many other kids and routinely have close calls with cars speeding through. I think part of this is foliage blocking the flashers, but would like to also suggest pedestrian flags be provided on both sides of the street. We've used them living in other towns and they are really great. Here's a website that explains their use in another city

"Head start" for pedestrians. Use the NYC trick, give walkers a 7 second head start before turning the light green. This intersection, the one on the bypass and 10th, and the Kirkwood Walnut crosswalk are just 3 places drivers ignore pedestrians as they only look at cars so they can make right turns. Please. They're going to run us over. Look at Saturdays NYtimes.

I'm not sure if this intersection is in Bloomington City limits, or within the jurisdiction of Monroe County. As you enter Gates Drive from westbound N. Jacob Drive (by Wendy's), the flowers and plants have grown so high that you cannot see northbound traffic on Gates Drive. I entered this intersection twice today and had close calls because I could not see oncoming traffic, and I'm in a large pickup.
Thanks.

1517 S Nancy ST

Corner of Nancy and Viva. I would like to request a stop sign. Traffic on Nancy moves quickly, and visibility is poor for cars exiting from Viva onto Nancy. Cars also frequently turn quickly from Nancy to Viva (going north) and have limited visibility. The corner is a school bus stop, and Viva is a street where many children live and ride their bikes. If a stop sign isn't possible, the next solution would be to cut back the medium-sized pine trees on the south side of the corner on the Viva side. Thanks.

Could you please look at putting a 4-way stop in at the intersection of Pete Ellis and Longview. Because of the increased traffic due to the closing of the 10th and by-pass intersection, it makes it nearly impossible to get across Pete Ellis whilst traveling on Longview.

We would like to post or have the city post signage redirecting 46 bypass traffic to pete ellis for the businesses effected by the closed entrance to the strip malls at 46 Bypass and 3rd Street. At Starbucks, we have lost over a third of our business since the closing of that entrance. Similar reports are available from the surrounding local businesses.

I have a business at 3rd & Dunn and I watch vehicles go the wrong way almost everyday. Last Friday, a motorcycle rider almost got hit by another vehicle. The motorcycle driver ran up on the curb to avoid a collision. There is a one way sign located on the base of the stop light. That's not enough to warn people not to go the wrong way in oncoming traffic. Cars in both directions are traveling at fast rates of speed. It's only a matter of time when a bad wreck is going to occur. I seen two cars go the wrong way today within two minutes of each other. Also, there is one side of the street that needs a predestian crossing signal. I see students crossing at that corner taking a big risk crossing or attempting to cross the street with no idea that a vehicle is approaching the light. This is truly a problem and I don't want to witness someone getting hurt or killed because no one took action.
