Since the crosswalks have been placed, with the school sign looking very similar from behind when heading South, it gives the impression there is a stop sign. I have been here for a year and watched 3 car accidents. The company, who is my landlord, has been there for 35+ years and said since the crosswalks, there have been 3 accidents and several close calls. I am a social worker, who works with kids. I don’t know why there is one 4 way at the sign, but not at the other end, on 8th street, that is within school/church grounds. Please bring attention to this urgently, I have a feeling something bad will happen to a child if something isn’t done here and will be saving this documentation for myself, so if something does happen, I am not liable and this is all screenshot, so you are aware and this could be held liable in court proceedings if nothing is done.

I’m replying to this ticket and message: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=206800 Closed by Driss Tahir At this time, the City no longer maintains individual painted parking space lines on residential streets. These markings are not required for parking regulation, and our maintenance program focuses on regulatory and safety related pavement markings such as crosswalks, stop bars, centerlines, and ADA parking. Parking is still permitted along the block, and vehicles may continue to park as usual. If you have any questions or concerns about access, visibility, or safety, feel free to reach back out. Thank you! Thank you for the clarification. I understand that individual residential parking lines are no longer part of the City’s regular pavement-marking program. However, I would like to request a safety and visibility review for our block, based on the guidance you mentioned about access, visibility, and safety concerns. The fading of these lines has created some issues for our immediate neighbors that fit these categories and affect our street’s access and safety. It should be noted that this particular street is quite narrow and is a two-way street. The pavement markings serve a significant purpose on the street. Here are some additional details I’d like you to consider: 1. We have an elderly neighbor who relies on clearly defined parking space boundaries. When cars drift into the space in front of her home, it can block their access or require her to walk farther than she needs to. 2. Several small children live and play on this part of the street. Without visible parking lines, cars often park farther out into the street than before, reducing sightlines and making it harder for drivers to see children entering or exiting vehicles. 3. We have multiple college student renters on the block. Turnover and unfamiliarity with the street lead to inconsistent spacing and irregular parking patterns. This sometimes reduces the usable width of the street and narrows driving lanes. Given these access and safety considerations, would it be possible for the Traffic Division to assess whether refreshed pavement markings would improve visibility and organization on this block? I appreciate your time and your help in keeping the neighborhood safe.

Multiple student have been hit and some hospitalized from trying to walk across this very dangerous intersection. Students use this crosswalk many times everyday and also at night. The lack of lighting, signs, stop lights, and increased drivers that aren't paying attention makes this issue urgent. As a current member and resident of the Alpha Gamma Delta house I use this crosswalk multiple times every day and rely on it to get me safely from one place to another. It is very frustrating to have seen all of these accidents happen and no solution being worked on for this humongous problem. Please add a stoplight or some sort of safety mechanisms. 1 accident was already enough, but now multiple is just outrageous.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems like installing signs and marking the new speed bumps on S. Washington would be a smart idea. The bumps that were installed blend in perfectly to the existing pavement, the paint is woefully inadequate to be visible under any conditions, and there are no signs indicating that there are bumps. People are being taken for quite the ride thanks to another phenomenal job by the city with a poorly implemented traffic calming device.

The new bicycle storage cubes are not benefiting residents and are creating two significant problems: Immediate Safety Hazard: The cubes are an attractive nuisance and severe fall risk to children. Preschoolers have been observed climbing and jumping on the units. This confirms the greater community need is a safe play area, not this storage solution. Unauthorized Misuse: The units are already being used as personal storage by non-residents (unhoused), leading to increased and unwelcome traffic into the residential courtyard. The project failed to consult residents on community needs. I request immediate action to address the safety hazard and restrict unauthorized access to these units.

Can we get another no parking street sign installed on w 14th street between N Woodburn Ave and Madison St? There used to be one in front of the yellow duplex not sure if someone took it or it was taken out. But on game day people were parked on both sides of the road making near impossible to get through. Also during the week people park on that side of the road where its supposed to be no parking and school buses have to navigate through. Thanks for your time.

The painted lines that delineate the street-parking spots in front of my home are almost completely faded and no longer visible. Can you please schedule repainting of the parking-space markings? This affects parking organization and visibility for my block. We would be most appreciative of you helping us. Thank you!

At early hours and evening hours, it is nearly impossible to see pedestrians moving on these crosswalks. As an extremely safe driver who never takes their eyes off of the road, I have had several encounters with the crosswalks in this area where I can barely see a pedestrian and have to brake rather hard as I see them so late. I know this is an issue for many other people as we have been discussing it and given that those crosswalks are utilized for all stadium related events, they need to be better lit to ensure the safety of all pedestrians as they lie in an extremely busy road where cars go rather fast.

The corner of 15th and Woodburn desperately needs a four way stop. We hear numerous near collisions daily. It is impossible to see oncoming traffic as they speed down 15th street while sitting at the stop sign on Woodburn Ave going north. Heading south, there is a better visual of incoming traffic. If not a stop sign, please look into how close to the intersection cars are allowed to park as it completely obstructs the ability to observe oncoming traffic.

The alley running east to west has been closed since 11.05.2025 due to a small asphalt repair. I am unsure why it is still closed eight days later. It is disrupting the flow of traffic through the neighborhood.
