temporary speed bumps were placed in Broadview neighborhood during the intersection closure of Tapp/Country Club and Rockport. These speed bumps should be removed as they were temporary and the newly improved intersection is open.

The new pedestrian crossing light on SR45/10th street east near Tamarron and University Elementary School is malfunctioning. It seems to be triggering itself ever 30 seconds or so in the morning at least. This is causing a long line of cars to backup and block Russell Road. I've included a Google traffic view so you can see the problem.

The 4 way stop at E. Allendale and Dunstan Dr in Sherwood oaks is a huge concern. A traffic report has been done. Many cars a day use this route as a cut through and many cars drive too fast and don't stop at this stop sign. This is also a school bus stop and city bus stop. I live at this corner and witness frist hand every day the number of cars that run this stop sign. I'd like to request speed bumps be installed along Allendale to keep the speed limit regulated.

I wanted to bring something to your attention. The new light at Rockport & Tapp is nice, but was not the most cyclist friendly yesterday (Sunday, 11/25/2018) morning. I came in and out of town on a group ride via Rockport. We were only four cyclists, so not a big group.
In both directions, the light took quite a while to turn for us (with no other traffic around). Then, once we got the green light, it already turned yellow before we were 1/3 of the way (or maybe 1/2 way) into the intersection. A very short light. As a group, we basically communicated, "Green, let's go - hurry up, yellow already!"
My concern is a cyclist trying to get through that light, and it turns green for east/west traffic on Tapp before the cyclist can even clear half of the intersection. (Which, with the heavy fog yesterday and the crest of a hill to the west on Tapp, we were concerned).
I told my mother about the timing of the light and she said on Saturday she was the third car at a red light on Rockport and the light turned yellow before she could get through the intersection.
Maybe the City is still fine tuning things . . .

Left the Highlands neighborhood this morning out Rockport around 7:35. There were maybe 8-10 cars in front of me the Rockport/Tapp intersection, took me 5 lights to get through it. Somebody needs to monitor the traffic adjust the light or something. 1-3 (barely) cars can get through each time, depending on who is turning left onto Tapp, which were about 1/3 of the cars. This is prime school time and it took me longer to get through this intersection than inching through traffic on Gordon AND on Rogers, and a lot of people still don't even know this is open so I only imagine this getting worse. The light in the other directions lasted much longer and there was less traffic. Please do something about this soon.
Thank you.

Regarding the Bloomington TRAFFIC STUDY; response to Beth Rosenbarger's comments regarding crashes and personal injury accidents at the recent Plan Commission meeting:
Isn't it possible, the most crashes and personal injuries recorded in Bloomington happen on these one-way streets (Walnut & College and 3rd St. & Atwater), simply because they are the closest thing we currently have to city thoroughfares? I suspect these four streets/avenues are the mostly highly traveled each and every day, thus it is logical there will be more crashes where there is consistently more traffic! The frustration brought on by sitting/waiting in traffic behind busses and delivery vehicles, with no way around them on a two-way street, will most likely lead to crashes and personal injury, as well. Two-way streets are unlikely to result in fewer accidents and injuries. In fact, it may force traffic onto more side streets resulting in more injuries on side streets, as well.

We own a business at 14th and Walnut and often see horrible accidents at the corner of 14th and Walnut. We also see DAILY CLOSE CALLS with both pedestrians, cars/trucks and now certainly scooters! There are no stoplights between 17th and (I believe) 10th street. Coming down the hill from 10th street cars/trucks often RACE down the road right in front of us. Having a stoplight at the intersection I feel would reduce the number of speeding vehicles headed towards 17th street. Just this morning I saw someone walking across the street as two cars were speeding down Walnut. I don't know if one of them was distracted or not, but the person crossing the road nearly was hit and I am sure would have been killed. Thank you for looking into this.

Could you please install a painted crosswalk at 3rd and E Grant? 3rd is very high traffic and as cars come around the corner heading west, it makes for a dangerous crossing for pedestrians who are given no right-of-way.

NE corner of 17th&dunn. My kids are into riddle humor so maybe you'll enjoy this one:
Q. What kind of licensed engineer puts a shared path to the right of a dedicated right turn lane where drivers don't even stop for a red light?
A. The kind that ignores the MUTCD.
Hahahahaha that's even funnier than the time my 4yo gave a long set up forthe punchline "buttcrack".
But in all seriousness, the SE corner doesn't have a sidewalk connection for east/west peds and there are no painted crosswalks either. The MUTCD, bro, bible or nah?
