Street & Traffic Signs
Washington & Allen, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 9/3/2021
Can the city consider installing “cross-traffic does not stop” signs below the stop signs on Allen Street at its intersections with Washington and Lincoln Streets?
Cyclists may be lulled into a false sense of security as they ride on Allen Street, a marked bicycle boulevard, especially if they have just come off the B-Line trail where they are conditioned to cars yielding to them at intersections.
As such, they might not be watching diligently for cross-vehicular traffic (or will assume that vehicles are going to stop for them) on Washington and Lincoln Streets, which does not have to stop at their respective Allen Street intersections.
By installing “cross-traffic does not stop” signs (both eastbound and westbound) on Allen Street, safety can be improved by giving cyclists another warning that they had better heed the stop signs.

Street Lights
E Queens Way & S High St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 9/2/2021
The streetlight is out. This may be a Duke light, but I hope that the City can encourage them to get it fixed. Arden has been closed for 2 weeks due to the trail construction and more traffic is using Queens Way to get from Renwick to High St. This is not a four way stop and there are also obstructions to sight from the trail construction signs and equipment. There are also many many deer that cross this road. I have just heard 2 cars screeching to a stop to, I assume, avoid hitting deer. Having this streetlight working would be very very helpful as it is getting dark earlier. Thank you!

This rental has allowed trash bags to be open and strewn on the property for two weeks--it is now smelling and unsanitary. I don't know why they haven't cleaned it up.
Line of Sight
2898 S Sare RD
- Case Date:
- 9/2/2021
I submitted a report earlier this week, but have an address and a clearer picture of the problem area. This stretch of green is along Sare Road and is the responsibility of the owner of the address given. However, due to inattenttion, entering Sare Road from Spicewood Lane is hazardous to someone driving a car heading north. If you are in a truck or SUV, your line of sight is much better. There is now a great deal of traffic on Sare Road at all times during the day, traveling above the speed limit in many cases, that pulling out onto Sare Road is scary and dangerous.

Most of the "no parking" signs are down on the north side of 7th street. I have seen more than one person park in the lane of traffic, not realizing the changes being made to only 2 lanes
