There is a near constant gridlock on 10th St. near campus due to the concern for allowing students to cross the street. Perhaps an underground tunnel would help. It is a daily nightmare.
There needs to be a pedestrian walk light in the walk way across 10th Street from Kelley to the library. As it currently stands, pedestrians block the flow of traffic for as much a 15 minutes--and I mean, literally, zero cars get through. Not only does this contribute to the already congested traffic on campus, it is a hazard to every pedestrian, as well as the cars. The traffic from this walkway often extends west to Indiana Ave. and 7th Street and east to Crosstown Shopping Center. Cars block the intersections and it creates hazards for everyone. Students haphazardly cross the road without looking or paying attention because the walkway basically gives them carte blanche to do so. It only takes one driver not paying attention for a very bad incident to occur. I know I am not the first person to complain about this and when an incident happens, everyone will look to the Street Division and wonder why no one has ever done anything to fix this situation. All it takes is some sort of flashing light at the walkway similar to a cross walk that periodically stops pedestrian traffic and allows traffic through. Thank you.
Sign is down on 10th by Hodge Hall. Sign indicates 'divided lanes'.
Street light out at 3-way stop
The signal is not giving a left turn arrow for motorists who are heading south on Fee and wanting to turn left (east) onto 17th. Has been this way for over a week.
Traveling north or south on Fee Lane and in the left turn lane, to turn onto 17th St., you don't get the left turn arrow when light turns green. I work at I.U. and thought it was a fluke at first but it's been this way for at least a week. Thanks
For north/south traffic, neither left-turn arrow works. For traffic moving west, the left turn arrow always comes on whether or not there is traffic in that lane or not. I have not noticed a problem with eastbound left turn lane but that's not to say it doesn't have a problem as well. :)
Flashing Red signals at 17th and Fee
Left turn arrow has not worked when turning left onto 17th street from Fee. This is very dangerous for drivers as other drivers going north on fee towards 17th are often speeding coming down hill by Briscoe. Also it is unsafe for student pedestrians trying to walk across 17th street. Please turn the left turn lights back on!
Near the indicated location on the sidewalk on the north side of 1st street is spray painted a 4-letter expletive (F***) repeated about 10 times. This has been there for at LEAST 3 weeks now and it's not only offensive but a disgrace that it has been allowed to remain in our community for so long. Not only must it be doubly offensive to families walking with children but it sends the message that this is appropriate and tolerated in our city, especially as it's along a busy corridor.
