I work at Griffin Realty, 735 S College Ave. There needs to be WRONG WAY signs to prevent drivers from traveling north on College Ave. I witness this all year long, but more during student move-in week. It's really bad
The amount of simultaneous construction across the entirety of Bloomington has reached a truly ridiculous point. Driving anywhere in town has become a tumultuous, stressful mess. This widespread tearing up of major roads started well before summer, and instead of wrapping up, the gridlock has only gotten increasingly horrid. To make matters worse, the city failed to finish these projects before a massive drove of college students returned to town. Flooding our already broken, bottlenecked streets with thousands of extra drivers at the exact same time is a complete failure of planning that has made Bloomington practically undrivable.
This stop sign is backing up terribly at peak times while construction on Rhorer has that throughway closed. Today around 4:15 the traffic was backed up through the roundabout at High and Winslow/Rogers all the way up toward the bus stop on Rogers Rd. A temporary stoplight would be so helpful in easing this congestion.
Landscaping in front of this house and others in the area hang well over the sidewalk. This restricts walkability of the sidewalk and makes for dangerous ingress to the roadway, as it prevents the ability to see down Hillside Dr without inching out into the roadway to see past.
Lots of uneven surface and potholes in crosswalk and brick embellishment at the B-Line Trail crossing W 2nd St. What is the timeline for how long the construction project will affect this pedestrian crossing? Cars are not yielding now to the same extent as they were before all the construction. Hard for wheelchair pedestrian to see past the cones to the West to check if cars are coming before crossing. Missing crosswalk stripes painted on the road. Crosswalk across the Wendy's/Kroger parking lot entrance is not wheelchair accessible. I'll attach a pic of that in a different ticket.
A week back road and water works were completed. Already the road patch is failing and a large pot hole has appeared... Needs corrected.
Vegetation overhanging sidewalk. West side of College Mall Road, just north of Covenanter.
At the S Highland / E 2nd St 4 way intersection I have within one week noticed four vehicles that have not obeyd the STOP signs on E 2nd street going east and west. Maybe the big tree in the north east corner needs to be trimmed a little? Or put up a pre warning sign of an upcoming four way STOP?
Need street-surface traffic direction arrows painted in the 2 lanes of S. Clarizz heading north. I have seen people make the right-hand lane into a left-hand turn onto East 3rd St. Please see pic of suggested arrows. The yellow marks are the direction available besides a right turn. Tx!
sidewalk is blocked along this stretch in a few places by overgrown bushes and ornamental grass. on the corner, the bushes are the responsibility of whoever owns the utility boxes they hide, along the road it's the houses behind the hedge.
