Speed on West Allen Street is absurd. I have lived on street since 2017 and there are a lot of little children and pets along there. Have witnessed two pretty bad accidents there in last three months. Please considered either reducing speed or another method of curbing danger. Thank you!!
When work was being done on Tapp and Rockport, temporary sets of speed bumps were put in on Adams Hill Circle and Countryside lane. Every morning when I drive to work I travel Adams Hill Circle to Countryside to Rockport and go over 5 sets of speed bumps, and I go over the same 5 sets on the way back home. The temporary speed bumps are no longer needed since the construction at Tapp and Rockport is complete. I would argue they are no longer needed at all, but if members of the community still want some, please remove at minimum 3 out of these 5 speed bumps on this route; they are excessive.
Hello, We live in the Echo Park community (2780 S. Walnut St. Pk.). We basically do not have safe walking access to the nearby Winslow Street. Families and the elderly risk their lives walking on the side of the asphalt, at a pretty dagerous intersection (cars do not have good sight when they turn to this street). Adding a short sidewalk would solve this problem. See picture attached (the problematic area is marked in red). It is a tragedy waiting to happen. Thank you.
I sent this on February 20th, and haven't heard from anyone. Previous case: #166355 We are writing to you again because of two more accidents at this same corner (14th Street and Walnut Street). Danna Workman was assigned to this on October 13, 2018, then she assigned it to Adam Wason, who then assigned it to Terri Porter; however, we have been reporting this problem corner to the City for many years. On February 5, 2018 we heard from Andrew Cibor, Transportation and Traffic Engineer, who encouraged us to submit comments via a mapping tool. We submitted our comments on February 6, 2018, but as of yet have heard nothing. On December 20, 2018 we wrote to you asking for a few traffic signs from 2nd Street to 17th Street on the Walnut corridor, but nothing has been done, and we have not received a response. One of the last accidents hit our landscaped flower bed and took out our irrigation as well as our treated landscape wood to hold in the mulch and flowers. We had to replace the landscape wood, but will have to wait until Spring to replace the irrigation system there. The other recent accident (February 16, 2019) took out another irrigation head, but worst yet, it took down the very large City street light with a light attached to it for our parking lot, which we pay Duke Energy for every month. You have told us in years past that you are not seeing that many accidents reported to the City; however, if only one car is involved or even two, many times it goes unreported, and they fix their cars themselves, but our damage is left for us to repair. Last year, you did install white posts on the west side of Walnut along with pedestrian lines on the street. However, that has done nothing to slow the traffic or stop accidents. I saw two young people on scooters yesterday trying to cross at that corner, and I was concerned for their safety, as the cars were speeding by without stopping for the pedestrians. It was reported in the newspaper this morning that Mayor Hamilton is spending quite a lot of money to assess the trees in Bloomington. And, while that maybe needed, I feel the safety of the residents of Bloomington and their guests is needed more. Please respond to us as soon as possible.

There are no sidewalks at all on S Park Ave., S. Stull Ave., or S. Fess Ave between Bryan Park and Hillside (except on Grimes St).
I pick my child up at tri north but it a safe hazard. Bus drivers almost hit cars every day. Road being blocked by cars parking on road with yellow curbs or 2 cars on both side of road making it dangerous to kids and drivers. Cars front of parking area on yellow curb maple and 11st. Cars making 2 way driving impossible entering blaire from 11 th. And 14th and Dyer. It would be nice to make one way so buses and traffic could go one direction.
I'd like to report a man-made pothole on the westbound side of Tapp Rd just after you pass through the intersection of Rockport/Tapp. This intersection is brand new and there is a manhole that is installed 2-3 inches below the street surface. The road has a curvature but the manhole is countersunk flat creating a man-made pothole. It wouldn't be so bad except it is in the direct line of tire travel coming out of the intersection. and if you swerve to miss it you're perfectly set up to hit the next manhole, which isn't as bad, but still this is a brand new intersection. I have also observed multiple people swerving into the oncoming lanes turning lane to miss this manhole which creates a whole other hazard. Please have someone fix this issue. With today's low profile tires I'm sure it's already wiped out a few rims.
Requesting left turn signals on Smith for safety at 3rd and Smith.
The new ped x-walk near Smith Rd and Hwy 45 seems to go off when no one is around. also, from clear to blinking red means about to turn red. but once red, it then goes to blinking red. what does that mean? can i do then, or do i need to wait until the blinking stops. signage is unclear on the meaning of the signals.
