1981 S Henderson St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:

The new median installed seems like an addition to try to help pedestrians make a safe transition across the street. I think that’s a great step as I often have worried about students at dismissal from south trying to safely make their way across that intersection to the bus stop. However as it currently is, it is not safe for drivers & maybe not even pedestrians. I watched 2 cars drive right over it just after dark, one definitely popped a tire. When I passed it another time I noticed multiple tire marks over the median. There does not seem to be clear enough markings on the median to warn drivers that they need to swerve to the side to avoid it. This is certainly true at night, yet I believe may be true during the daytime too as there are no signs or markings to show that the driver must shift to the right around the median or slow down in any way. Perhaps this measure taken to try to improve safety is actually more dangerous to all. A pedestrian may have a false sense of safety standing on an unmarked median that is not early visible or marked for cars to see. Can it be made into an official crosswalk with proper signage and clear expectations for drivers to slow, be aware and stop for pedestrians? Please take steps to make this safer for drivers and pedestrians. If school ever resumes this seems even more dangerous than it was before the addition of this median. Thank you!

Street & Traffic Signs

Case Date:

Fairview school zone flashing lights not flashing (photo near 9th and rogers). Photo 3:28p today. Due to staggered times for rona mitigation, school dropoff at fairview elem is now nominally 8:35-8:55, and pickup is 3:20-3:40. Additionally, light should flash 15 minutes after pickup and 15 minutes before drop off because parents walking from/to school without their students still typically have student-siblings with them. Also, light should flash whenever there is an afterschool activity. I'm real disappointed this extremely ineffective-by-design approach was chosen instead of appropriately-engineered curb bumpouts! But if this is the bed we made, can we at least getsomeone lying in it when my kids are there.

The weeds are so overgrown at this address that it is really hard to see if you would like to turn from Nancy onto Hillside. This is a yearly problem.

Who is responsible for trimming back all the vegetation blocking the sidewalk along the south side of Azalea Lane between Walnut Creek and Winslow Farms? The sidewalk is impassable causing pedestrians to walk on the narrow roadway.

Looked like E Morningside through Park Ridge is at 20 mph but Park Ridge East is at 25 mph. Can you make consistently 20 throughout? Thank you. Both remain residential areas, bike path, and such.

Stranded pedestrian: Sidewalk ends on both sides of the street going west on Rogers at the Stands. There was no signage for the lack of pedestrian access when I came out of Spicewood.

Line of Sight

820 1/2 W 2nd ST

Case Date:
9/21/2020

Line of sight/safety hazard because of excessive growth in front of 820 W. 2nd Street. For those turning onto 2nd street from Euclid street, the vegetation blocks the line of site. This is especially dangerous because the property is near the top of a hill, which already obstructs line of sight.
