Please get the 7 drivers on schedule; once again they are willing within a few blocks of each other, following each other around and messing up the schedule.

Missing bus stop - We are missing the bus stop outside our office at Walnut Park, across from the IU Credit Union and near the location of the new Lucky's Market.
I just contacted Bloomington Transit, but wanted to report to the city Transportation department as well. I driver I saw a few weeks ago littering his cigarette butt at the downtown BT station, was seen eating while driving today. Below is the email I sent to BT. I hope this driver is properly trained and/or reprimanded. This is unacceptable from anyone, but especially someone representing the city. "Hello, Do you allow your drivers to eat food while they drive? I assume not; this is a major safety risk that a bus driver should not be doing. However, the driver of 4W, today, October 14, leaving downtown at 6:10p was eating chips WHILE he was driving. Not just while stopped at lights, but as the bus was in motion, having at least only one hand on the wheel while transporting 10-15 people during rush hour. I believe this is the same driver I emailed about a few weeks ago who I saw littering his cigarette butts outside on the sidewalk adjacent to Walnut St. What an inconsiderate, selfish, unsafe driver. I hope a wreck doesn't happen because he's endangering people and can't wait to eat until he's at the station."
Is Bloomington Transit going to put a transit bus stop near Summit Elementary and Summit Ridge Addition? The stop would be very much (needed) and appreciated. Thank you.
Sign at transit station has been broken and hanging from electrical wires for the last 2 days
Bus sign found stashed in bushes on Bline near post 146
Would it be possible to place one or more trash cans at the bus stop that is closest and on the side of the Brew House on College Mall Rd? The bus stop area is littered with trash. Compare this to the nice trash cans that are available at both bus stops closest to Kroger (Jackson Creek one) on Covenanter.
I took the #3 east bus on Friday, 12/10, to the mall. Passengers were smoking as they waited for a bus. Staff walked by them and did nothing. On the bus, there was only one audio message; it said we were passing Wonderlab but we were going east on Third, not near Wonderlab. The written direction notice also had west side bus stops even though we were going east. On my way back to town on the 1:40 bus, the written messages were right but there were no audio announcements. I believe this violates the ADA. Thank you
Shortly before 10 am on 12/7 bus route 3 bus number 1777 lp 51959 ran a red light at 3rd and Woodlawn. They were at full speed and the opposing traffic had already been turning - 2 cars in front of me - when I had to slam on my breaks in the middle of the intersection. It is unclear that the driver was even aware of the error as myself and others laid on our horns... it seemed almost as if they thought that the far right lane didn't have to obey the light. Many people could have been killed both in cars and the pedestrians in the intersection by this carelessness.
