City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #210276

Traffic Suggestions:

Other: Crossing signal buttons on the corner of E 6th St and N Walnut don't face the natural flow of pedestrian traffic. It makes more sense to me that buttons would be able to be pushed from the wider sidewalk corridor instead of rolling my wheelchair out of the way and around the other side of the light post.

Thank you for pointing this out. This is a helpful observation, especially from an accessibility standpoint. Pedestrian push buttons are typically placed based on standard design guidance, including proximity to the crosswalk, accessibility requirements, and available space at the corner, but we know they don’t always align perfectly with how people naturally approach the intersection. I’ll review the current layout and see if we can improve the button placement for accessibility. In some cases, adding or relocating buttons is possible, depending on space and signal equipment.
