closed: Resolved #214501

Biking & Walking:

Other: The cross walk at the b-line extension and Switchyard Park crossing Walnut is wickedly dangerous. Miscommunication between drivers and pedestrians (and cyclists) is too easy, and someone could be easily killed. I’ve almost been hit by cars there on three separate occasions when I had a go light and cars raced through the intersection anyways. In fact, the signs entice cars through a red light signal if they don’t see crossers. I’m happy to report the specific dangers if asked, but I wanted to log the complaint before and not after someone was killed. In all my years, I’ve never seen such poor and dangerous planning in the name of safety. Please convert the crossing to something more conventional so cars know what to do.

I’m sorry you’ve had those close calls at the crossing. We’ve reviewed how this crossing operates and have not found an issue with the signal that calls for a change. Drivers still need to obey the signal and watch for people crossing. If you see drivers going through the red signal, please report it to the Bloomington Police Department, including the date, time, and direction of travel if you can. That will give them something specific to follow up on.
