On May 23, 2021, at 5:30 am I was driving south on N Rogers to deliver my brother to Bloomington Hospital for surgery. At about 9th street (at the B line trail) I ran directly into a curb that juts out into the road. It was dark out and raining, and this road obstruction was poorly lit and not marked with a reflector ot in any other way. I ruined an almost new tire and will surely need an alignment. We walked the rest of the way to the hospital, in the dark and rain, because we couldn’t get a cab and time was short.
Going back in the daylight I see that the southbound lane makes a jog to the center to accommodate this jutting out curb. Going south the right most lane becomes a parking lane, but there were no cars at all parked there so this was not apparent when approaching from the north. In the daylight this configuration is easy to see, but not in the dark and rain.
I’ve enclosed a photo taken from in front of Carpenter Realty showing how dramatically this curb juts out into the road. I have other photos that I will try to send separately. (I think this report is limited to one photo. ) Two of my photos show show that the jutting out curb is blackened from tires and scared from wheel rims that preceded me into this trap. If I had a tire store I would open a branch in the big parking lot just south of Carpenter and stay open through the night.
Besides reconfiguring this lane transition there are several easy solutions:
- Light this curb better.
- Put a reflector on it.
- use a “ramp” or “transition” curb, as we see at all the new roundabouts.
Thanks,
Dan Mueller

Hello. There is a large amount of gravel at the beginning of the sidewalk near switchyard park. My gf's son was biking and he slipped on the gravel while turning onto the sidewalk on their way to the switchyard park.
I think it needs to be cleared to prevent similar accident from happening. Thank you!

Why would the city block the entire northbound line of traffic with a giant construction sign on Rogers at the intersection of Rockport when that's the only way to get into the parking lot by the switch Yard pavilion where food truck Friday is going on? Does it make any sense to create such a significant road hazard by making everybody going in and out of the park from the south with the road closure to the north Have to cross into oncoming traffic and go head on with each other? Brilliant.

The pedestrian crossing signal going from southeast corner to north east corner of W Patterson and S Rogers intersection never turns on for pedestrian signal. I waited through 3 full cycles of traffic signals and it never changed for me.
