Traffic Suggestions

611 N Fess AVE

Case Date:
8/27/2023

I wanted to propose the addition of a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of N Fess Ave and E 10th St. I live in Collins, and when walking between Hillcrest and the general courtyard buildings there are no immediate crosswalks in the area. The addition of white lines, particularly on the west end of this intersection (where there is already a metal grate where the sidewalk meets the road) would be very helpful for residents of Collins and would make the area safer for pedestrians trying to cross the street.

Traffic Related Complaints

110 E 12th ST

Case Date:
8/23/2023

Can 12th street be made into a one-way? It is too narrow with the street parking for East and West traffic. I see frequent traffic jams and near miss accidents when cars try to squeeze past each other.

406 E 11th ST

Case Date:
7/7/2023

This building has an extremely bright on the west side of the building that not only illuminates their property at night but also shines across Grant street and floods the houses across the street with sharp, glaring light. It is so blindingly bright that it is hazardous to walk down the steps of those houses at night. Can the city require that property owners face lights downward and/or ask them to install some sort of shielding so that the lights are not so offensive to the adjacent neighbors and neighborhood in general? It's bad enough that the building is so generic and tacky, but can the city prevent them from ruining the lives of people in other properties, all the while causing a hazardous situation to exist?

Sidewalk Requests

500 E 11th ST

Case Date:
6/26/2023

Could the City install a sidewalk along the west side of Dunn between Cottage Grove and 12th Street? There are also a couple sections in that stretch where there isn't even a sidewalk on the east side of the street, and a lot of people walk down that street even though it is only one-way.

Street & Traffic Signs

3000 S Walnut Street PIKE

Case Date:
6/2/2023

I would like to inquire about requesting a stop sign put up along s walnut street pike where it intersects with E Allendale Dr. I have been a resident at the barclay square apartments for going on three years now. Cars tend to speed down walnut street pike past my apartment complex. This makes it difficult for me and those on allendale to pull out onto the road. I have not witnessed any accidents so that is not a concern, just streamlining the traffic in that area and resident safety due to speeding.

Biking & Walking

1715 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
5/30/2023

There is a pedestrian activated crossing from the Switchyard park over to the B-Link Trail on South Walnut. Activating the signal triggers a red light for traffic on South Walnut, but I constantly have issues here with traffic blowing through the red light, often at high speeds. Is there anything that can be done to make this crossing safer for pedestrians and cyclists?

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)

2502 S Madison ST

Case Date:
5/24/2023

Homeowners at 2502 have fence that is falling apart into the property of 2504. Their "sheds" in their backyard are wired for electricity but undoubtedly not to code. Not to mention the major health hazard from the raccoons and opossum that come and go from the shantytown as they please. Fire hazard, health hazard, eyesore.

Traffic Suggestions

E Burks Dr & S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
5/24/2023

The intersection of Burks Drive and Walnut Street needs to be crossed by pedestrians and cyclists fairly often, but there is lots of high speed traffic on that road. Pedestrians coming from the residential areas around Burks have no way to safely cross Walnut Street. The sidewalk on the east side of walnut is currently closed, but it is missing several sections even when it is open, so you can't even walk along Walnut to the crossing at Rhorer Road. This problem will be exacerbated by the new library branch. Residents east of Walnut will have no way to safely and easily reach the library except by car. There needs to be a light and crosswalk of some sort installed so that it is passable.
