Other: I live on the west side of South Park Ridge Rd, the block between Saratoga St. and E. 46. There is a very slight curve on this block (west side of the street) which is just enough to create a visibility issue for me when attempting to pull-out of my driveway. Myself and others have had some close calls when exiting my drive. To add to the issue, cars traveling this stretch consistently travel SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the posted speed limit. Wondering if there might be some kind of street signage alerting to "hidden drive" or something to possibly alert traffic of the possibility of a car pulling out from an area that is difficult to see due to the curve. Ultimately, I really feel the stretch of Park Ridge Rd from E 46 to the 4 way stop at Morningside Dr. could greatly benefit from traffic calming measures....speed bump installation. Thanks in advance to your attention to this matter.
Engineering reviewed the hidden drive request, P&T referred the resident to the Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program.
Hello, Thank you for your proactivity in creating calmer streets in our community. I would recommend you look into the City's Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program: bloomington.in.gov/tcgp If you have any questions, you can reach out to David Brantez at [email protected]. Thank you, Hank Duncan
Engineering staff reviewed the request regarding a “Hidden Drive” or similar warning sign. At this time, staff does not recommend installing this type of warning sign at this location. Warning signs should be kept to a minimum because unnecessary warning signs can reduce respect for signs generally, and these types of signs are not typically installed for individual private driveways. Hank, I am reassigning this uReport to you for review under the City’s traffic calming process regarding the resident’s concerns about speeding and possible traffic calming on Park Ridge. Thanks!
