A dead end sign would be nice
A dead end sign would be nice
Overarching bushes on Highland St. side obscure parking sign and (along with overspreading ground cover) may interfere with street sweeping, leaf collection, or snowplowing.
The bike route sign south of the Southdowns intersection on Highland (east side of the road) is totally obscured by vegetation.
The westbound stop sign at the intersection of s. Highland and e. 2nd street is obscured by vegetation, either on the property of 1307 e. 2nd or 527 s. Highland. I am routinely at this intersection and regularly see westbound cars slamming on their breaks, or running the intersection altogether. The plants and trees need to be cleared so the stop sign is visible at a safe distance. This is an accident just waiting to happen.
Island sing knock down
At the intersection of High Street and Hillside/Moores Pike, there is no indication of which lane is which. (Left turn lanes are not marked on the street or with signs.) I have witnessed at least 3 occasions in which drivers are confused and think the left lane is straight and the right lane is for turning right, or think the right lane is straight and the left lane is for turning left, and so both cars go straight ahead and nearly collide! This is especially bad northbound on High, where you cannot see beyond the intersection, since it is on a hill. By the way, you are all doing a great job and we love Bloomington. I am just concerned because this is a safety issue. Thank you for your concern and attention! Maybe you can just spray paint the left turn arrow as a quick fix? Thanks!
Westbound traffic on E Hillside Dr has a dedicated turn lane on to S Highland Ave. The painted lane demarcations have faded from traffic and it is difficult to distinguish lanes. This presents a hazard for traffic turning from E Hillside Dr on to S Highland Ave from traffic traveling eastbound on E Hillside Dr as the eastbound traffic frequently enters the dedicated turn lane. The lane demarcations should be repainted.
There is no street sign at the corner of Swain and State Ct. Years ago when the drainage ditch was filled in the pole and sign were never replaced.
We received a phone call reporting that the light at the intersection of S. Walnut St. and E. Miller Dr. is changing to green on E. Miller Dr. without any vehicles waiting. He said that the green light is long and traffic backs up on S. Walnut St. He notices this issue most during the day.
There is no street sign identifying E. Miller Dr. on the north traffic signal pole at the S. Walnut/E. Miller Drive intersections. Drivers going northbound on Walnut Street come up against a blank pole and don't know what the cross street is (E. Miller Dr.). I was confused looking for a business on E. Miller Drive because of this and I'm sure others are as well.
