As a resident on the east side of Bloomington, I often find myself on 10th street because it is a main artery through town. I've always wondered why there isn't a designated left turn lane with a left arrow traffic light to help the traffic flow at the intersection at 10th and Pete Ellis. The designated lanes are as follows. Left turn/Straight and a right turn lane. People who turn left aren't able to do so easily because it's a busy street and people who wait behind them are forced to try to re-enter the traffic flow because other cars decide to use the right turn lane to go straight. Unless I'm mistaken, creating your own lane of traffic is frowned upon, so I'm constantly frustrated by the fact that I sit patiently in the left/straight lane behind a car waiting to turn, and then as I'm entering the intersection, have to watch out (yielding to cars that have decided to go around the situation) to avoid getting sideswiped.
Perhaps the city developers could look at this particular problem and re-designate the lanes or use resources to get a new light with a left turn arrow. I can't be the first person to have complained about the safety of this intersection.

I tried to send a question and concern regarding an Animal Control issue via this website but it would not go through. I got a message when tried to verify it that Google was sending automatic messages and for security purposes it could not process my request (or something like that). Do you have a suggestion? Thanks.

On the City Council roster page, the link to Mr. Volan's profile is broken. I was able to navigate to his page by guessing its URL, but I doubt most users will go to that trouble.
On the Website Feedback page (that is, the page I'm looking at as I write this), the body copy at the top of the page ("Report issues involving...") is either incomplete or not displaying correctly on my browser (Chrome).

I have noticed multiple times when trying to cross the street at Smith & Walnut that the pedestrian walk signal does not seem to always be synced properly with the traffic light. The walk light often does not turn on when the traffic on Walnut is stopped at the light. It is incredibly confusing and concerning as it is a place where children often cross with The Project School and Rhino's being near by. If someone could take a look at it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My neighbors at 2705 S. Olcott Blvd let out their two dogs to roam their front yard 3 or 4 times per day. I walk my dogs, as do my neighbors who have dogs. With the animals in the front yard, without leashes, it means those walking have to cross the street to avoid the dogs. This is not a problem, except at night. I watch out for the dogs, in order to avoid them, but lately the dogs are let out their front door just as I get the middle of their yard and the dogs come racing at me and my dog, barking and frightening. Besides, the issue of taking over that side of the street, these dogs bark the entire time they're outside, seems anything or anyone can set them off. This can be at 10:00pm and go on. I don't know what to do, because they are not friendly. I need your advice as to how to deal with this neighborhood problem. Thank you for whatever help you can give me.
