City of Bloomington, Indiana – Kerry Thomson, Mayor

City Council

2008 Ordinance 08-19

TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE BLOOMINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED “VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC”

2008 Amendment 01 (Adopted)

Amendment #1 to Ordinance 08-19

This amendment is sponsored by Councilmember Piedmont-Smith. It converts the intersection of Henderson and Allen Street from a 1-Way stop for traffic on Allen to a Multi-Way stop for traffic on Allen, the Bryan Park Entrance, and Henderson. This change was recommended by the Traffic Commission in order to slow traffic on Henderson which, on average, was going almost twice the legal limit of 20 mph. However, it was opposed by staff, which concluded that the traffic counts did not warrant the stop and stop signs should not be used to slow traffic. In an understanding with the Council Office, all such disputed items come forward as an amendment that needs sponsorship a member of the Council.
