The intersection at W Isaac Drive and S Westplex Ave is now unmarked for traffic northbound and southbound on S Westplex Ave. Now that S Westplex is open from Third S to the south, northbound and southbound traffic has increased and moving fast for the neighborhood. Thank you for your attention.
Sign indicating turn and reflective lights desperately needed. Two cars have gone of road at this same turn in last two months. Woman was trapped for over 24 hours on over incident. Second incident took down a utility pole which is still down.
We have repeatedly asked for a traffic signal at the corner of 14th and Walnut, because of the number of traffic and pedestrian accidents over many years. Neil Kopper, Project Engineer, told us that a traffic light was not going to happen, but he would get a pedestrian crossing, which we thought would come with flashing lights like at the corner of Rogers and 4th Street (a street crossing not in the center of town and with a lot less traffic than the main street, Walnut). However, all that was done was to paint a pedestrian crossing across Walnut at the corner of 14th and Walnut with white posts on the West side of Walnut, cutting into traffic. And, the pedestrian crosswalk was painted at the corner of College and 14th Street with white posts installed on both sides of the street making it extremely hard to make the corners. Especially as CVS's fence blocks the view from the North. Cars have to back up on 14th Street when a car wants to turn East from College. So, the very least the City of Bloomington can do to slow the downhill traffic in this area, without putting in a stop light, is to install some speed limit signs. There are NO speed limit traffic signs from 2nd Street all the way North to 17th Street. Cars drag race in excess of 40 to 60 mph there most every day, because it is downhill, not up hill like College. You have no stop lights from 10th Street to 17th Street. We would like a flashing speed limit sign that tells how fast you are going installed at 14th and Walnut. The type that is installed around schools. And, there is a Monroe County School bus stop at that corner with very young children getting on and off the bus. Also, there is a City bus that stops at the corner of 14th and Walnut. This all creates potential harm to children and bus passengers by the speeding cars. If no action is ever taken at 14th and Walnut, the City is potentially putting themselves into a law suit if someone gets killed or injured there because of the failure of the city to post the speed limit that they are required to go. The city has allowed high rise housing along the corridor of 10th to 17th street on Walnut, and on street parking to support this very high density area. This action, along with the bike lane, has narrowed the road and cars exceeding the speed limit have no way to avoid an accident. Our police department is so busy they do not have the opportunity to patrol this area on a regular basis for speeders. And, since we cannot get a traffic light installed, this request is the very least that can be done to make our city safer in this area.
Turning west onto the 45/46 bypass at walnut... the turn arrows let about 4 or 5 cars go thru at best... even if they speed off the line... can the duration of the green arrow be lengthened a "few cars" or so...
the stop sign by showplace 11, when approached from the west side street off college mall rd. is hidden behind branches that over hang the tall hedge. The sign needs to be visible before one gets to it. Generally one or two branches are trimmed occasionally. That's not enough.
hello. through the years we have had a few complaints and it has become more frequent as of the last couple about no street sign. The street is Varsity Lane and there has never been a street sign and it is the only street in the area off of Dunn st. that has never had one. We would like to request a street sign for Varsity Lane on corner of varsity lane and N. Dunn street. Thanks.....
hello again - i didnt want to overload one email topic so i apologize of sending three different ones is not a good thing------ In stadium Crossing (varsity villas) complex that varsity lane runs through, there are several either missing or faded no parking signs on the left side of the road (the no parking side). Please, if able add or replace. thanks
I just moved to 2nd and Swain. The corner needs a stop sign for all ways, not just for traffic on Swain. Most of the intersections along 2nd have 4-way stops; this intersection is the exception for some reason. Drivers go way faster than the 25mph allowed; the area is quite congested with students moving back into the area.
The new light in front of the the Twin Lakes Recreation center has backed up traffic a lot especially during peak travel times, morning and evening rush hour commutes. I have lived in Oakdale Square apartments for over 4 years and the amount of extra time it takes to get to and from work (I work at IU) has increase by 5-10 minutes because of the light. As a suggestion I think the light should be a yellow flasher for Bloomfield road traffic between the hours of 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. This would decrease the amount the traffic can back up in this area.
I suggest posting "no turn on red" for west bound traffic turning onto Range Road. Because of the cement barrier and narrowness of the road I have twice had cars interfere with and almost run into me as I try to make a left turn onto 10th St. on the green light.
