I’m not sure if this is the right spot. But in Sherwood Oaks II on Laura Way people speed horribly down that street (its the street that connects the old and new part). Can we get a speed bump or something that monitors speed through there?
North side of Hawthorne Dr./E. 1st St. intersection: When trying to turn from southbound Hawthorne onto 1st St., it is difficult to see oncoming westbound traffic on 1st St., due to the overgrown foliage in the landscape strip in front of 1127 E. 1st St. There's approx. 60' from the overgrowth to the intersection & with cars traveling 30mph, there is very little reaction time if you pull onto 1st. I've almost caused a wreck twice, because I couldn't see far enough past the foliage without nosing out into the intersection. This is an unsafe condition & this foliage should be cut down.
Any plans to improve future flow of N Smith? Small road good for local traffic but used by all commuters and backs up both ways during busy times.
Calming such as speed bumps requested on E Morningside curve by our street residents. Please prioritize greenway sooner for safety if that will address it.
Traffic on East Wylie St very fast, potential hazards, while a lot of kids are living (and playing) in this street. Need for better signalization, lower speed limit, speed cushions or bump-outs to reduce motor vehicle speeds (inspired by the East Allen Street Greenway project?)
The timing of the light at college mall rd and E 3rdst is such that persons traveling east on 3rd st can’t make it through the light because the traffic turning left onto south college mall rd blocks the intersection. I waited through more than 5 lights tonight.
The lack of shoulders on the roads is a serious problem in Bloomington. I have lived in a number of cities across the US and Bloomington is the first city I've seen that has very few (if any?) shoulders on the roads. This is unbelievably problematic - if someone has car trouble they can't pull off to the side, if you are dropping someone off you can't just pull off to the side, if I receive a phone call I can't pull over, if riding a bicycle you can't ride along the side.... there are a fair number (surely more than is acceptable) of bike and scooter accidents in Bloomington, and this can largely be attributed to lack of shoulders on roads.
As the city refuses to put a light at the entrance of Blue Ride and N. Walnut you need to lower the speed limit starting at the light at Cascades. When turning left out of the neighborhood it is somewhat blind, so you can often pull out and a car comes right up on you. The speed limit on Tapp from 37 is much lower with no business or a neighborhood.
I reported this previously and I received a response that all signs are clearly marked (apparently not). The signs indicating "One Way" on the corner of E 6th and Grant, and for that matter, at any intersection on E 6th Street, are not sufficient. There need to be *large* signs indicating DO NOT ENTER to vehicles attempting to turn left onto E 6th from two-way roads that run perpendicular (i.e. Grant, Lincoln). The current signage is not sufficient. Please fix this before a pedestrian or a driver is seriously injured.
Requesting road improvements to North smith or Morningside deterrent. Traffic at end of business day constantly goes through Morningside lots and quickly due to smith backup.
