On the west side of Park Square Drive the weeds have got extremely tall. It is a real issue trying to pull out of Highland Park school is a very dangerous situation as you can’t see traffic coming from the North. Weeds are almost as tall as street signs also posing as a traffic hazard.
I live on the Waterman section of W. 8th Street. A few years ago, before the city repaved our road, there were yellow center lines and also marked roadside parking spaces. When will the city repaint those lines? It has been a few years already. We have an issue of people speeding on our road, which they do by driving down the center of it regardless of oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists. I think the speeding was less of an issue back when the road lines were painted because those lines prevented people from driving down the middle of the road like they do now. I think repainting the center lines and the parking spot lines, we could actually solve the speeding problem.
One of the stop signs is missing at the corner of Clark and 7th. It is the sign on the east side of the intersection that stops westbound traffic. The other 3 signs appear to be intact.
Dear Government, I have been living here for about 13 years, and in this time it has become clear to me that there is a problem at the intersection between Rusgan Drive and Ramble Road West. You see this intersection has been my bus stop for years, and whether it's the dark of morning when I leave or daylight when I get back people speed right by as if there were no speed limit. This is only made worse by the fact that the intersection is half blind because it lies at the bottom of a small hill. So for the well being of myself and the children of the neighborhood I am requesting that this intersection be changed to a three way stop. I believe this would force the people of the neighborhood to drive at a more reasonable speed and therefore make my street much safer. I believe my neighbor across the street, the father of a small child, previously wrote the city requesting the same thing. I myself am just a teenager. So you know that once the problem has reached the point where a teenager takes time where they could have been doing nothing to write the city about traffic regulation, it's probably not just nothing. And considering others have written about this in the past, I frankly find it foolish to wait until someone actually gets hurt to take action. Thank you for your time and consideration, P.S. I apologize if this came across as somewhat hostile, I know whoever reads this is probably not at fault.
Complaint of insufficient and unclear construction signage. Is making it difficult to get into parking lot where she works and sometimes forces her to take one way streets the wrong direction in order to access parking lot.
A vehicle swiped the street sign at E Third St and S Pleasant Ridge Rd. The sign is now turned around and damaged.
There is a new apartment complex, located near the corner of E. Cottage Grove Ave. and N. Walnut Street. Tenants are leaving the parking lot and exiting onto Cottage Grove Ave. Cottage Grove is a one way heading west. They proceed to head the east on Cottage Grove, and as they then approach N. Washington Street they turn without stopping because there is no stop sign. Afraid there may be a wreck, requesting remedy.
There is no sign instructing vehicles leaving the Jordan Avenue garage driveway that they are entering a roundabout, so most of them turn left by entering the roundabout and immediately turning left. This causes near-head-on collisions as vehicles driving south on Jordan follow the roundabout around to enter the parking garage driveway.
The construction plan and closures are ridiculous. We get no notice of any road closures and we now have one way in and out of our apartment complex, which leads to a congested one lane road. We received no notice of any road closures which included our side of 45/46 and Pete Ellis. How am I supposed to get to work on time when you change the roads and lights during rush hour traffic which causes major traffic jams. The overall thought and planning put into all road construction in Bloomington is abysmal. If giving notice of road closures is too difficult to do then try to focus on completing the construction on one road before starting construction on another.
