Stop light is not needed at John Hinkle and 10th per some reporter but is needed at the substantially busier and more dangerous intersection of Smith and 10th.

Is there any way to lower Greenway speed limits to 20? We've been having speeding, including at night, and not sure if it may help at all as we await hopeful calming structural improvements. Thank you!

Bloomington City Hall, 401 N Morton St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
2/11/2023

There is an URGENT need for a stop light at the intersection of 10th street and John Hinkle Place with Woodbridge Apartments. Specifically, children are crossing that intersection every day to board school buses. I have personally witnessed occasions when cars traveling both east and west in 10th street have had to apply brakes in an emergency manner to avoid fatalities. I can assure you it is only a matter of time before pedestrians and vehicles will be involved in accidents resulting in fatalities. The City of Bloomington is hereby put on notice that unless this emergency situation is not addressed the result will be fatalities. As an attorney, I can assure you that the City is legally liable WHEN these fatalities occur. Thank you. Randall Smith 650 Woodbridge Drive Bloomington IN 47408 Telephone: 812 325 1226.

411 IN-45, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA

Case Date:
2/10/2023

I live in Blue Ridge on the north side of town and cross the Dunn/45-46 intersection daily to get to work. This intersection not only has high traffic due to daily Bloomington traffic, but also has high traffic with visitors for game days and other IU events. This intersection needs to be reworked to help with traffic flow and safety. (1) Driving south through the intersection on Dunn there is only a green light (no green arrow or yellow yield arrow like other traffic signs around town.) People frequently turn left immediately on green without yielding, causing several near accidents (happened to me twice just this week.) (2) Going northbound on Dunn -- there are 3 lanes - 1 to turn left, 1 to go straight onto North Dunn, and 1 to turn right. Although there is a sign that says turn left, almost daily people are turning left from the "straight traffic" lane, again causing issues with traffic and safety. I believe there needs to be a sign that says "straight ahead only" -- similar to the signs on South Walnut near Kroger/Seminary Square. As someone who drives this intersection daily, I am always prepared for someone to incorrectly cross through these intersections, but for 90% of people who do not, especially people going to/from IU on visits and other events and/or are from out of town, this is extremely unsafe.

Case Date:

Original Case #182702 Closed: Can't fix. Can we please know who to contact to place signs. If we put signs up, the city will not take them down, or make us take them down because it is a private road?

Street & Traffic Signs

2755 E Canada Dr Ste 102, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
2/1/2023

Where East Canada road narrows and comes to an end, its too tight to have cars parked on both sides of the road. It is also dangerous as many times people coming from South Heirloom Drive do not stop when they get to E Canada Drive and you cannot see them due to cars being parked there. Who maintains this road and who can we contact about putting no parking signs up?

E Discovery Pkwy & IN-46, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA

Case Date:

Cont. Attention to more aggressive crossing lights. I reported this intersection, with its crosswalks and pedestrican cross lights, as being inadequate, given the frequency that drivers do not even sense that they should look way across six lanes of traffic to decide if they should wait for me or run over me. I mistakenly wrote the whole note referring to “crosswalks”; what I meant to write (couldn’t find an edit function after I sent it) pedestrian cross LIGHTS within the drivers’ line of vision. Would you attach this to the other unreported? Much thanks. Sorry for my error.

Drivers don’t have pedestrian crosswalks in their line of vision! I have to wave my hands to get the attention of some cars turning right in front of me onto the highway. I’ve seen them shocked to see me. I points to the crossing sign and they look mystified. That’s a problem not to overplay this, but statistically pedestrian accidents on in suburbia, and on highways or streets, and make situation is skyrocketing, I don’t want to be one of them put a Second crossing sign on the Mouradian that’s where drivers expect to see it, meaning, that’s how far they are looking while they’re looking at everything else, too, like crossing traffic, merging decisions, timing, their own lights . They’re not looking for us walkers. So I need you to correct this with immediate instillation of bigger better pedestrian crossing warnings and signs. Thank you.

Case Date:

Intersection of Patterson and Allen. If heading north on Patterson, there is a hump as you cross Allen street at the light. When doing 30mph(the speed limit) it's enough to upset steering and cause traction control to come on.

Greenwood Ave, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:

One week ago, people were laying internet cable in our neighborhood. They left last Friday, but there are still sizeable holes in the streets, each of which is an injury and lawsuit waiting to happen. My yard has a hole in the grass and a pile of dirt. There are no covers for these holes, and they are very dangerous for kids and adults (its a walk-to-school route). This work was carried out with no notice to the households, and they left it unfinished with no safety precautions. I live at 1011 S. Greenwood Ave. This photo is of one the holes at the corner of Rose and Dexter, which I have to avoid while biking to work. It's about 10" across. Can you make sure that these holes are covered and that the dirt in my yard is cleared up? Thanks.
