B-Line Trl
- Case Date:
- 8/18/2015
No signage notifying cars of B-Line trail. This newcomer apologetically backed all the way from the bridge over 3rd back to the entry from the convention ctr parking lot. Since the bars were removed, I've seen this a couple times. The Monon trail has a white stripe down the middle, which could help with this problem and with pedestrians veering into the paths of bikes (a big problem with kids.)

BARRICAD
- Case Date:
- 4/16/1997
People has been driving around the barricade on w. Southern and has eroded the ground thus exposing the meter cover. Someone has since inverted the cover to make it easier to drive over. The cover is easily removed and small children could fall in. Please contact street about better blockade of the street to prevent people from driving around the barricade or removal of the barricade. Thanks Brent t

Left turn signal from Oakdale Dr onto West Bloomfield does not provide sufficient opportunity. Present timing is only sufficient for one to two vehicles to turn through green. Flashing yellow is only available if other vehicles activate sensors in other lanes. The result is a maximum of only two to three vehicles making the left turn safely per cycle, although there are often 6-8 in queue. Request adjustment of inductive loop sensor timing to achieve improved flow and eliminate multi-cycle wait for vehicles traveling from north on Oakdale Dr to west on W Bloomfield Rd.

Our school bus driver says the light barely stays green long enough for her to get from Oakdale to Basswood daily. Can this green light time be extended a bit, please?

School bus drivers are complaining the light barely stays green long enough to get from Oakdale through the light to Basswood or to turn left. This is my 2nd time putting in this request as I was told this light is maintained by the state and I would need to contact INDOT. I did that and they referred me back to you. Here is the e-mail I received from them regarding this:

Dear Ms. Silvernail,
Thank you for contacting the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The intersection of W Bloomfield Road and Oakdale Drive/S Basswood Drive is outside of INDOT jurisdiction. Those roads are city streets under the jurisdiction of the City of Bloomington.
I understand that you contacted them already, but I can confirm that they are city streets, which INDOT does not maintain. Here is the link to their website: https://bloomington.in.gov/departments/public-works/street and phone number: 812-349-3448.
You can stay informed 24/7 by visiting 511in.org or by downloading INDOT TrafficWise in the app store. Spring forward into safety! Buckle Up, Phone Down.
Sincerely,
Kendall Miller
