We have lived on first st since 2020 and our stretch of road (between the stop sign at Woodlawn and the one on Henderson) that our young child has to cross to get to his school bus stop is the only section of first Street residentially that has a big space between stop signs and no speed bumps. Because of this what I've noticed, since the speed bumps east of Woodlawn and first were put in, is people often speed on our stretch of road. There are two other families at our bus stop and they have noticed the same thing and often worry about crossing the street to either get to the park or the bus stop as a result. I believe we also need speed bumps on our stretch of road as it feels like drivers are now compensating and trying to make up for lost time.

There’s no crosswalk or signage indicating pedestrian crossing. More kids from our neighborhood are walking and biking to Jackson Creek but crossing from Forester St across E Rogers in the morning can be dangerous. Can the city investigate putting something there to protect kids and encourage motorists to slow down ? Signs, painted strips etc would be great

Please consider a stop sign on Southdowns and circle drive. People come up westbound on southdowns heading around the corner very fast. We have many walkers and children and it is a blind curve.

Vehicles speed down Sare rd (50 mph+) to Canada drive. There needs to be another stop sign before Meadow Creek apartments or a speed bump. There are autistic children in the area, pets, children riding bikes, elderly people, students, and wildlife at risk. These same people are throwing beer cans out the window and many of them are texting and driving. It’s a matter of time before there will be an accident. Thanks

With the announcement of the new park on 446/East Moore's, what are the citys plans to ensure safe and easy pedestrian and cycle access to the park? Currently, East Moores, 446, and Smith are not safe for either.

Cars and buses regularly speed on this street, often exceeding 35 miles per hour. Due to their speed, they are unable to stop at the stop signs—including city buses. I am requesting that a speed limit sign be installed, ideally one that displays drivers’ actual speed (similar to those used in school zones). Our street and its connection to First Street have effectively become an unofficial bypass for east–west and west–east traffic, including city buses. This is a residentially zoned area with pedestrians, cyclists, children, pets, and wildlife. The sidewalks are narrow, and vehicles—especially buses—traveling at high speeds pose a serious risk. I have personally witnessed both buses and cars run stop signs, even when pedestrians, families with baby carriages, and cyclists are present. The cars/buses still don't stop and merely drive around the "obstacles." At a minimum, a visible speed limit sign should be installed—preferably one that tracks and displays speeds.

Bicyclists in parks and on trails do not notify walkers that they are coming up behind them. Other countries have bells on the bikes which the bikers use to alert someone that they are coming up behind. It is startling to have someone fly by, esp when walking a dog. Dogs could dart out in the path of the bike if the walker is not aware the biker is behind them. The City needs signage in every park and on every trail to remind bikers that they need to signal their approach when coming up behind a walker, esp one with a dog/dogs.

I’m writing to request the installation of a pedestrian crosswalk across South Highland Avenue near the Montessori school. Many families and young children cross this busy street daily, and a designated crosswalk would greatly improve safety. Thank you for considering this important request for our community.

I was told by Rhonda at Bloomington housing authority that the construction project taking place in our courtyard on Lindbergh will be a covered structure for bicycle parking. My concern is if motorized vehicles like scooters and motorcycles park there, the c shape created by the three tall apartment buildings surrounding the courtyard already create an amphitheater that echoes every sound. The noise from bikes that people built themselves around here are loud enough, but if they're revving them up in our courtyard and if there's an awning, and we're in this low level across the street from a hill, please consider how loud this will be in our apartments where there's gaps around our front door. I work full-time and need my sleep at night and to rest on the weekends. There are small children living here who need to be in bed at night. Please consider including signs that there will be no motorcycles or motor scooters parking here. I think bicycle parking is wonderful and I am enthusiastic about having bicycle parking. In a previous report, I mentioned the issue that has already been present of flooding before this construction began, and tomorrow, there is a flash flood warning for all of Central Indiana.
