Disregard the feedback about the Monroe County in MN. Just after I sent it I realized I was looking a the Bloomington, IN website and not Bloomington, MN website. Sorry for the confusion.
At the url address of: http://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=912 In the section of "What to do if you receive a citation" it refers making payment to Monroe County Clerks Office with address of 301 N. College Avenue. MN does not have a Monroe County. Should the first and third bullet points be changed? Thanks for your time.
Eastbound 2nd st/left turn intersection us37 north. People are running red light as if they are in eastbound 2nd st lane when they are in the left turn lane. You have four traffic signals, two for left turn and two for eastbound. There should only be three and the people are confused on the lanes to go eastbound.There are a lot of last minute decsions being made that potential could lead to wrecks.Traffic signs,markings,lights are needed as well as engineering of interesection.
the protected left turn light from westbound patterson to south rogers is only long enough to let about 3 cars go through. if any cross traffic fails to stop before the light is red, sometimes no cars can proceed before the protected signal ends. please consider increasing the length of time the left turn light stays green.
My wife and I just moved into a new house at 411 E Wilson St, between Palmer and Dunn. We need street signs installed at the corner of Wilson and Dunn and Wilson and Palmer as soon as possible, as no one can find our house.
north side of First Street sidewalk obstructed by vegetation where First curves around between Jordan and Mitchell
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.
There are now two left turn lanes at the traffic light that directs you to 37 North on second street. Numerous vehicles are going through the middle lane which is a left turn lane also. Traffic trying to move over to the left lane after being in the far right lane is having a difficult time as they do not know if the vehicle next to them is going to turn left as they should or just go through the lane. I live at Basswood Apartments and find it bothersome when the vehicle goes through the light and I am trying to get over in the left lane to go home. I didn't know how this could be remedied as the two signs by the two traffic light say "left turn only" and have arrows. Some vehicles slow down and just go through it when it is red to turn left and green for the right lane to go. There is going to be an accident.
I'm sure that 90% of what you recieve are complaints. In this regard instead of complaining, I have an idea for a more efficient and less dangerous form of traffic onto 3rd street from S. Muller Parkway, heading West. People turn through the 3rd St. turning lane risking danger and a ticket and also any dangerous U-Turns in the middle of the Intersection of 3rd St. and S. Cory Lane. I have to deal with this pressure when needing to turn west onto 3rd St. almost every day because I worked down 3rd St. west and I live off of S. Basswood Drive. One time I got pulled over by a sheriff for going through the 3rd St. turning lane and recieved a warning, luckily. Now, the cross-section of 3rd St. and S. Muller Parkway only allows traffic to go From 3rd St. on to S. Muller Parkway. I know that is because the road to S. Muller Parkway crosses with the road to 3rd St. west which would obviously cause collisions. According to the Google earth map, the distance is 720 Ft. to the Intersection of 3rd and S. Cory Lane From S. Muller Parkway. I have a proposal to avoid crossing the turning lane and dangerous U-Turns in the intersection for heading west on 3rd St. (Also saves gas and driving distance of course.) I created a plan in the diagram Image from the street map I aquired that I uploaded to show you for an example of the proposal. This Google map is very outdated, but it gives you a good prospective of the idea. All of this should work. There is enough space where the very wide curb(street gap) resides inbetween street directions for the proposed turn-offs, as there is for the turn-off heading west on 3rd St. Turn-off Option 1 only 172 Ft. down 3rd St. East: Reduce 3rd St. West Turning lane by half and add a turning lane on 3rd St. East wilst dividing the width of each lane Equally. After reducing the curb size, a thinner middle curb remains dividing them still. The turning lane off of 3rd St. west is relatively long as you'll see. Longer than necessary for a small neighborhood road, so I figure option 1 is feasible. Turn-off Option 2 Only 265 Ft.(maybe give or take 30 Ft.) down 3rd St. East connecting to the Gas Station. People can choose to turn into the gas station and out or make a u-turn. Thank you very much, Eliot P.S. It was fun putting this together to present to you. Oh btw, as a side note, it would be great if you expanded the Report Details Description dialog boxes in the form scripts, because I can't see what I write. Instead I wrote everything out in notepad, copied and pasted.
Street light is out on the corner of S. Spicewood and Poplar Ct. I am not sure who maintains it but it's been out over a week.
