Web Form: I would like to request sidewalks/speed bumps on Elliston Dr. in Sherwood Oaks Neighborhood. Elliston is the main thourough fair to Sherwood Oaks Park, Jackson Creek Trail and Olcott Park, which also leads to Childs Elementary and Jackson Creek Middle School. There is significant foot traffic daily of adults, kids and pets being walked. Children go to school on this route and yet there is nothing provided to keep them safe. There are currently no sidewalks to keep foot traffic safe and no speed bumps to slow down traffic. People speed through this area whether local traffic or visitors to the park and what the city has done to date is not enough. Someone is going to get hurt and it will be on the onus of those who have chose to do nothing to keep pedestrians safe. Please consider making a change and putting sidewalks/speed bumps in to allow for safe travels for all in this area. Thank you

Ty, I genuinely hope that I am not the first City staff member to chat with you since you submitted this UReport. If you are still interested in traffic calming along Elliston or other streets in the Sherwood Oaks neigbhorhood, I would recommend reading about the City's Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program: https://bloomington.in.gov/tcgp It was made for proactive residents like you who want to create slower and safer streets in their neighborhoods. If you have any other questions, you can chat with David Brantez, Alternative Transportation Coordinator, at [email protected]. Thank you for creating a safer Bloomington! Hank Duncan
Hi Hank, Here's one more that needs to be checked out--this is the oldest uReport we have! Thanks, Gretchen
