City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Submission Received #212134

Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: Please make the intersection of West Dodds and South Morton a 4-way stop. Drivers unfamiliar with this area will speed up or down Dodds and look for crossing vehicular traffic at Morton Street and then disregard the B-Line crossing. This intersection has a high volume of foot traffic because of Hop Scotch Coffee's customers. I've seen many close calls here. Let's make it a four-way stop before the inevitable injury happens.

Hello Tim, Thank you for sharing this concern. I understand why this location stands out, especially with the B-Line crossing and the pedestrian activity near Hopscotch Coffee. We are currently looking at the B-Line corridor more broadly to evaluate how we want to manage crossings and stop control along the corridor, including whether changes should apply to vehicle traffic, trail users, or both. We’ll include your comments about Dodds and Morton as part of that review. At this point, I do not want to promise a specific change, such as converting this intersection to a four-way stop, before we look at the corridor as a whole. Stop signs are primarily used to assign right-of-way, not just to slow traffic, so we need to consider traffic volumes, pedestrian and bicycle activity, crash history, visibility, consistency along the corridor, and whether a change here could create issues at nearby crossings. Your concern is being logged for future consideration as we review B-Line crossing improvements. Best, John Garzee
