Northeast corner of Rockport & Tapp intersection. A street sign was blocking the pedestrian and bicycle crossing. Photo taken 12/8/23 at 3:30pm. Sign still down as of 8am Sunday 12/10/23.
The Bloomington traffic database reports 5 multivehicle accidents at North and Henderson in 2018 and 2019, all of them shortly before the 8AM start of class or after the 3PM end of class at BHSS. None were reported for 2020 when BHSS was online for most of the year. NO accidents are reported on the neighboring intersections of Henderson and E Miller, or Henderson and E South Rd, both of which have stop signs. To anyone who drives there, this is a much more dangerous intersection than the majority of intersections where 4-way stop signs have been installed. Indeed when one first uses the intersection one expects 4-way stop signs based on the usual Bloomington pattern for roads with prominent crosswalks, which makes the absence even more dangerous. Please fix this before my daughters start driving to high school next year. I'd prefer they walk but that intersection is even more dangerous for pedestrians.
Kirkwood & Rogers--small, but deep pothole in the crosswalk that runs from the SE to SW corners of the intersection.
The intersection could benefit from a white stop bar on the street's south corner. It is a two-way stop and we regularly see drivers run the intersection, without regarding the stop sign. It's possible the stop sign is also partly obscured by nearby tree limbs. But a white stop bar being painted would improve the visibility as well. This intersection is often very busy with car traffic, pedestrians (many children) and pets being walked. An accident is inevitable but could be avoided. The recent stop bars painted nearby under the overpass seems to have improved the traffic flow there. Thank you.
Thank you for the all-way stop controls at the Fairview/11th intersection south/east of the railway! This has been a huge improvement to the intersection. Can we get a marked crosswalk just south/east of the railway bridge to cross from the north corner to the east corner (as shown on my laughably cartoony mark-up)? I know that this intersection has been considered recently, so there may be a reason why a marked crosswalk was not recommended. But if there is not a good reason, a marked crosswalk here would be so helpful.
The IU Health LifeLine ambulance service has relocated their headquarters and a couple ambulance to the intersection. If possible, was seeing about signs on N Curry Pike to the East and the West of the intersection to alert vehicles that Emergency Vehicles may be approaching.
The street sign for 10th Street and Morton has been damaged and is nearly falling off the post on the southwest corner of 10th and Morton by the empty Showers office buidlings.
There is a pedestrian cross-walk here, but traffic often does not stop, creating a safety hazard for pedestrians (who have the right of way). I think Kirkwood needs to have some traffic calming, and a stop sign would be one way to slow traffic and protect pedestrians.
Not sure if this is IU property, but the stop sign at the Sample Gates (Kirkwood and Indiana) is down. Looks like it was hit.
I've noticed that the city has been painting street lines and crosswalks around the city and recently as on 100 S.Indiana Ave. Why can't the city paint the line for the meter spaces or as I call them, parking blocks. Many meter spaces need to have these lines repainted due to cars being doubled park.
