Timing improvement college mall road/coventanter stop light - before 7am eastbound covenanter gets green light, then westbound even if no one is there, then there are turn arrows.....makes for a long light for stopped College Mall Road vehicles when traffic is very light at that time of day.
The traffic signal at Woodlawn and 3rd requires pedestrians to push the beg button to get the walk light to cross 3rd. Maybe that's reasonable on the west side of the intersection, but the walk light should come on automatically on the east side of the intersection, because there is no conflict with turning traffic. It is a particular issue because pedestrians coming from the north can't see what phase the lights for car traffic are in. This lack of information for pedestrians often causes some unsafe behavior that could be avoided if they could just rely on the walk signal that faces them to accurately convey whether they are in an east-west phase of the light cycle or a north-south phase.
I am interested in having a pedestrian walkway that will cross at the north end of our parking lot. This is the driveway that is directly across from Starbucks. The Excel Center is a school for adults and we have several that take the bus. We also have students in wheelchairs that are using the bus system. There isn't a safe way to get across the street directly from our driveway across from Starbucks to the bus stop. Is it possible to have someone come and look or can we discuss a safe way for our students to cross. Because we are an all day campus, we also have students that cross the street for lunch. Recently, the director and I went out to look to see how easy it is to get across to the bus stop and we had a very difficult time. Can this be looked into further or a pedestrian button to be pushed with flashing lights for crossing? Similar to the bike trail across busy roads have is what I am thinking.
RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.
What time in the morning will the (5 MONTHS!) work begin on Tapp for the signal being installed at Deborah? That's SUCH a major thoroughway east and west for people going to school and work that it will be really discourteous if traffic is hindered before 8:30 a.m.
New stop light at Rolling Ridge way had traffic on 2nd street backed up to The Eye Center at 5:10pm. Usually takes around 10 minutes for me to get home it was 20 due to the poor timing of the new light. There was a time around 5:20pm where the light was only green going down 2nd street for a minute before it turned red. Safety concern as well for ambulances trying to get down 2nd street (especially by the co-op where there is cement barriers in the middle of the road). Will be a huge concern when 37 (I-69) 2nd street ramps under construction in a few months.
Good Evening, Since the light at Ridgeway (I'm pretty sure that's the st, it's right in front of Twin Lakes Gym) and 2nd Street started working on Monday traffic in the morning, but especially in the evening, has been horrendous on 2nd St. It is now currently taking me about 40 minutes to get from the IU Campus to Eller Rd when leaving campus around 5:15. Traffic is bumper to bumper from 2nd and Rogers until after the new light. I feel like this is not just a ridiculous amount of traffic for a city the size of Bloomington, but that it is creating dangerous traffic situations. I'm afraid it's going to cause accidents. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Holly Hooper
Location 1008 E Thornton Dr.; Public safety/ traffic/ residential parking issue: Large amount of shoulder stone has eroded away due to to water run off from the street. Creating a large rut and beginning to undermine the edge of the steets pavement. (avg. 50'x1'x1') with the stone being washed towards Henderson St. then into the storm sewer system. This issue has been reported on multiple occasions over the last year by multiple residents.
The intersection at Woodlawn and 11th street poses significant potential danger to drivers, walkers, and bicyclists. I walk past this intersection every day and have seen several near-accidents. I propose a 3-way stop at this intersection. Vehicle traffic going North and South is always traveling quickly and don’t always see walkers crossing Woodlawn. In some cases, I have witnessed drivers stopping to allow walkers to cross. But, this causes drivers going one-way on Woodlawn to attempt to cross. I propose implementing 2 stop signs on 11th street. This will allow walkers and bicyclists the right of way, and will help drivers better communicate between Woodlawn (one-way street) and 11th Street.
It is increasingly difficult to exit the Blue Ridge neighborhood at the main entrance/exit at North Walnut. Traffic has increased and is going at a dangerous speed on North Walnut.
