Pedestrians should not have to push a button to get a walk signal on the east side of the intersection. Coming from campus we can’t see whether the light is green for Woodlawn traffic and people often assume someone else has already pushed the button, then people dart across hoping they have time, not wanting to wait through a whole other light cycle. There is no downside to an automatic walk signal on the east side of the intersection.

Damaged pavement caused by recent water main repair in the middle of East 3rd Street and 46Bypass intersection on Friday, Jan 24. A huge hole was left behind unprotected and unmarked by any barriers or cones. My car hit that construction hole today (Jan 28) and blew out two tires immediately. Please fix the holes and let me know how to file a claim for damages to replace these two tires damaged by this unprotected street repair project.

On the south side of the overpass on Third Street, near the convention center, there is a hole with a broken grate on it. It’s a tripping hazard. There are two more holes in the street at Third and College, near the south east corner. More tripping hazards. Thanks.

I am writing to formally request the consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the use of engine brakes (commonly known as “Jake Brakes”) on E 3rd Street West of SR 446 into Bloomington. This stretch of road, being a key route with both residential and commercial presence, frequently experiences disruptive noise pollution from heavy trucks utilizing engine brakes. As a resident in the area at Summerhouse, I can personally attest to the significant impact this has on daily life and overall well-being. The frequent noise not only disrupts daytime activities but also affects my ability to sleep soundly at night, compromising rest and health. Supporting Evidence: 1. Noise Pollution and Health: Studies have consistently shown that chronic exposure to high-decibel noise—like that produced by engine brakes—can contribute to sleep disturbances, increased stress levels, and even cardiovascular risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise above 55 dB is considered harmful, and engine brakes often exceed 80–100 dB. 2. Ordinance Effectiveness: Many municipalities across the U.S. have adopted engine brake ordinances in residential areas to reduce noise pollution and improve quality of life. 3. Local Impact: Given the residential density and commercial activity along E 3rd Street, enforcing a restriction would bring it in line with common noise abatement practices, ensuring a quieter, more livable environment for its residents. I believe that introducing this ordinance would not only improve the quality of life for residents but also align with community standards of noise control and public health considerations. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration.
