RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.

What time in the morning will the (5 MONTHS!) work begin on Tapp for the signal being installed at Deborah? That's SUCH a major thoroughway east and west for people going to school and work that it will be really discourteous if traffic is hindered before 8:30 a.m.

New traffic light installed on second street at twin lakes. Specifically in the morning during rush hour (7:00-8:00), traffic that is heading east on second street backs up because of it. Traffic can be backed up all the way to the other traffic light at Basswood Dr. The light changes quickly to allow 1 vehicle to come out of Millenium Apts but doesn't change back quickly to allow the traffic to flow on second street.

I work for IU Campus Bus Service. Saturday, we were driving a special service that necessitated that we use the new portion of Woodlawn Avenue. (Once the railroad crossing is complete, buses will go up and down Woodlawn Avenue from the Stadium to Campus and back about 70 times a day during the week.) I noticed that a vehicle was parked on Woodlawn just north of 14th St. on the east side of the street blocking the bike lane, but mostly out of the lane of car traffic. I also noticed there are no "No Parking" signs on this new stretch of Woodlawn. Can those be added to prevent people from parking here? Thank you.

Some of the crosswalk signs at the crosswalk near Jordan Garage were removed recently, presumably by the city. One of those signs had our bus stop sign on it. Can we have that back? Also, just curious as to why the crosswalk signs were removed since there are several new crosswalks on Jordan Avenue without any signage at all now. Thank you.

We have noticed since we moved to Hoosier Street in South Bloomington about two years ago that it is increasingly difficult to turn out from our street not only during peak driving hours, but increasingly so throughout the day. In addition to it being difficult it is also quite dangerous. There are several reasons for this. First, being the high volume of vehicles on walnut which is two lanes in this area. There is also a large hill north of the intersection which makes it difficult to see traffic coming south on Walnut. In addition at the bottom of the hill heading south the speed limit increases from 30 to 40mph. As a result motorists start to accelerate coming down the hill before the speed limit sign and shortens the amount of time to pull onto walnut. Finally, if turning left off Walnut onto Hoosier or Ridgeview is increasingly dangers as other motorists will drive around the turning driver. This could be prevented by painting lines, putting in curbs, etc. Today we had a multiple car crash that resulted in our neighbors mother going to the hospital. I'm frankly am surprised that it has taken this long to occur. This intersection is a ticking time bomb. We are always nervous turning into our street that we will get rear ended and turning out onto Walnut at some parts of the day is impossible. Additionally we live on a dead end street. When we go for a walk to get to a side walk or a local park we have to cross Walnut with no crosswalk and no traffic signal to stop traffic. This intersection is completely in accessible and cuts off our street from the rest of the the neighborhoods in the area. It would be great to allow the young families with children and pets on our street to be able to safely access walkable neighborhoods and city parks. Please consider making changes to this dangerous intersection for the safety of the city's citizens.

I frequently travel N and S on Hunter, and it is very, very difficult because of street parking to see whether there is oncoming traffic at this Woodlawn intersection. (There are other similar situations in the neighborhood, but this one is particularly bad.) it would be wonderful if there were convex traffic mirrors to be able to see around the corner. These are commonly used in low-visibility corners in Europe, and can be highly effective.

Cars coming south on Walnut Street up from Indiana business 37 and wanting to turn left into Blue Ridge run a great risk of being rear-ended by cars, which often exceed the speed limit. Our Blue Ridge intranet has recently been discussing this issue and would like to see the city address the issue in some way after investigation

There needs to be a traffic light at the intersection of 10th and Smith Rd. It can be very challenging turning on to 10th St. due to traffic that doesn't have to stop.

I want to report a suggestion I feel would be helpful to the neighborhood of Sycamore Knolls. I live on Arden Dr, and believe the Arden Dr/High St. intersection is becoming more and more dangerous with the influx of young families moving in. As the only stop sign on that stretch of High Street, year after year I see near misses with pedestrians and cars at this intersection. I believe that if reflection strips or retarder strips were laid down at this 4 way stop more people would be aware of the stop sign being there and make a complete stop. Please let me know how I can move this issue forward, also on the south east side of the 4 way stop the tree limbs at times cover the stop sign upon approaching the intersection.
