Hello! At the intersection of 6th and Waldron in the Near West Neighborhood of Bloomington is a circular installment--a raised concrete circle with a planter in the middle, with hazard signs. It's very confusing whether motorists should treat this as a roundabout or a regular intersection (i.e. a two-way stop, as Waldron has stop signs). Recently I've had two near-accidents, as I treated it as a roundabout: traveling west along 6th street, I needed to turn south onto Waldron, so I went three-quarters around the "roundabout" to get onto Waldron. According to Street Division, whom I just called, this was the correct course of action. However, both times, a car traveling north along Waldron assumed that--since I had gone to the right of the installement--I was heading straight along 6th, so they tried to turn left onto 6th and nearly hit me as I rounded the "roundabout." Therefore, I would like to request signage that clarifies to all motorists whether this is a roundabout or not. Specifically, I think this should be a roundabout. The current hazard signs and construction only indicate that there is an object to be avoided--not how drivers should behave. Thank you for your time.

I noticed that the "ONE WAY" sign on 7th Street to the east of Lincoln is behind a tree. The sign is in the median of the bike lane curb on 7th, and it is pointing an arrow to the north, presumably to tell traffic headed east on 7th that Lincoln is a one way. A small street tree is planted directly in front of the sign, obstructing its view.

Heading east on 7th towards Dunn, there seem to be trees or tree branches blocking every stop sign from full visibility. This seems dangerous to have the one intersection with stop signs in that area have obstructions of being able to see the stop signs as a vehicle driver.

Shrubs are completely blocking the sidewalk. They need to be trimmed. It is not my responsibility, but I have cut most of the limbs around Ridgefield neighborhood so neighbors can walk on the sidewalk. I reported this 3 TIMES last year, and ZERO RESPONSE!!!!!!!

The work going on with utility poles from 17th & Rogers intersection to the Arlington roundabout is often dangerous for traffic. Local businesses are still open since they cut off the intersection itself and adjacent neighbors need access. Basically no street striping is present there’s random marks on one side that would be too tight of a lane, in addition to a partially ground up area of previous striping that still has a lot present and reflectors. The whole road needs redone. When is the projected finish of the utility pole relocation? This is a HUGE hazard.

Trees were planted when the bicycle path was built. Later, the stop sign on Seventh at Dunn was reinstalled. Now, a tree blocks the stop sign when heading east on Seventh so you can't see the stop sign on the right/south side of the street.

Sidewalk here is overgrown by trees. The trees are at the back of the property at 3641 Homestead Dr but the sidewalk is on Fenbrook Ln
