I'm concerned that with the closure of Walnut St. Pike/Rhorer Rd., there will be a lot of traffic diverging through the Sherwood Oaks neighborhood, particularly on Allendale. We already have a lot of problems with individuals speeding down that street, and this will only make it worse. Is there any way that there can be the temporary speed bumps installed like there is through the Broadview & Summit areas right now? We would greatly appreciate it!!
Every day people use the right turn only lane to go straight through the light when another person is waiting to turn left. There have been many close calls between cars and cars and pedestrians. It would be more productive to change it to a left only lane and then a straight or right turn only lane.
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.
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.
