The sensors for the light for traffic southbound on High St. give that direction the green light (straight and turn) even when there are no cars there. The northbound lane can sit for a while waiting for the green for a while. I haven't timed it, but it feels like a full left turn cycle. This is not only inefficient, but frustrating. When you live in the area and have to deal with this all the time, it can really be annoying.
The signal for High Street traffic always preferences the southbound traffic, even when there are no cars there. I frequently sit on the northbound side of the light waiting for it to give us the green when there are no cars at all on the southbound side. We've had cars waiting northbound, eastbound and westbound when only southbound had the green with no cars there.
As I drive west on 3rd, and get in the lane to turn south on High Street, the green arrow is not visible. I know it is functioning, because the traffic facing me stops and waits.
An unknown individual has slept in the bus stop shelter for the past week. The area surrounding the shelter has litter scattered about consistently. I do not know if the litter is from this individual. It's a health hazard.
The intersection of Henderson St and North Dr lacks a stop sign. It is the main exit for BHSS and is extremely dangerous. Cars are moving quite fast on Henderson, there are high school students crossing there, and there the high school is full of new drivers. As an experienced driver I can say it is the most dangerous intersection I have regularly gone through. And in front of a high school! Bloomington is full of 4 way stop signs everywhere. Why this strange exception where one is really, really needed?
I have reported this before - there needs to be street signs for the intersection of Winslow and Henderson. Also I have noticed many street signs missing in town especially along 8 th st. I suggest your street department check around town especially side streets to look for missing street signs. We have many new people coming to town. This would be helpful to them. I have lived here for 35 years and still get confused on streets I rarely drive on without street signs.
As of 5:30pm 1/30/24 the storm drains on the southeast corner of Henderson and University (on both sides of the corner) are completely blocked with dirt and debris. Not possible for someone walking by to clear. Some of the other storm drains on this corner may benefit from clearing. Thank you. -C
All three street lights are out down Southern Drive and it is very dangerous. All the way past the apartments down Southern drive and Henderson.
The case was closed number closed #186351 but it has been several weeks and still none of the lights on Southern drive are working!
