It wouldn't let me reply to this message for whatever reason The object in the street is a boat hitch half of the bow and the hitch is in the street. It's literally 2 ft end of the street like I said before my daughter's almost hit it other people is almost tennis
I've seen dozens of drivers speed through this Walnut corridor, from 8th St to 12th St, in excess of 40mph. There are pedestrian crossings at 8th and 9th that are completely unusable. Motorists like to speed through the straightaway since there are three lanes. This area needs traffic calming measures to protect pedestrians.
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.
I have spoken with Public Works and Planning & Transportation previously but i would like to put it out there again since there has been a lot more progress on Union at Crescent. I would like to put in a request that N.Oolitic Dr from the rear exit of Union at Crescent to W.11th St be rebuilt with widening and curb/sidewalk combos to full ROW width. In addition, i still request that the intersection at N.Oolitic and W.11th be turned into a 3-way stop (signs, not lights.) I truly appreciate serious consideration of these matters and I will work with the city in any way I can, within reason, with my adjacent property. Thank you.
The attached referenced utility cut on W. Park Square Dr. is dangerous and is a traffic hazard. Other people in the area have complained this could cause a flat tire or a vehicle to loose control. This morning,1/11/24, the flat tire occurred immediately after passing over this area. Propper fill needs installed to alleviate this hazard!
Need additional no parking sign as cars are often parked on the wrong side of w howe at Rogers.
On patterson across from calalent there are vacant tents and tons of trash On the same road heading towards 2nd st on the left is the same problem
Catalent changed which of their entrances their employees are allowed to use. Because of this the left turn lane of patterson (headed west) is used much more and backs up, blocking the straight/right lane too.
Those of us living along Rogers Rd are dealing with a huge amount of noise even when the Rogers Road workers are here and even when they are not here. The steel plates that are supposed to be covering the large rectangular hole/cutout on Rogers, keeps moving around every time a car runs over it. This is not only a noise nuisance on a holiday weekend, but it is not safe.Last night was so extremely disruptive that I called BPD because I didn't know what else to do. I have since found that this is the place to report such things. Please see photo and please inform contractors to make better plans when they finish and go home for the weekend, so the area can stay safe and quiet. Thsi could have been solved if the orange barrel had been placed directly in front of the gravel area, so cars would bypass this completely. Thanks.
This pedestrian intersection of the B-line and rogers NEEDS A STOP SIGN FOR TRAFFIC! I have been hit by a car here once already, and have been nearly hit several times after that, despite wearing high-vis safety gear and having 6 total lights(including in-rim wheel lights for side visablitiy). I see cars fly through this cross walk at full speed, everyday. I cycle to work every day as well, and often cross here. The angle at which the intersection happens makes it hard for cars to see if bikes or pedestrians are coming from certain directions. There are currently only 2 stop signs on the entire B-line trail where cars MUST stop for pedestrians(which is a clear safety oversight for a town claiming to be bike friendly), and this spot absolutely needs one as well. ALSO, speaking of stop signs on the B-line, you should place an undercover traffic cop at the intersection of the B-line and 7th where there is an actual stop sign, and you'll be ticketing every other person since they nearly all do rolling "stops" at this cross walk. I nearly got hit by a huge black SUV last week and had to yell at the dumb cunt driving who didn't stop at all and just drove right through the crosswalk with me rapidly approaching, all my lights on, high-vis motorcycle helmet and everything, she sees me and just keeps going... seriously, I have no doubt in my mind that if you had an officer watching that intersection they'd get their ticket quota in a day, easy. It's time Bloomington puts its money where its mouth is and does something about the safety of the B-line crosswalks.
