We would LOVE to have a little more time for the cars trying to turn east from the parking lot in front of Fresh Thyme. (Exiting south bound towards Liberty Dr, turning left to go east.) On a good day, 4 cars get the left turn light. In the meantime, the entire area is backed up with cars unable to move. Either a better sensing process or a longer timer. Please.
Between Dunn and Henderson on Davis: cars, truck parked wrong direction on both sides of Davis. Car parked in front of fire hydrant on Dunn around corner from Davis intersection. No sidewalks so very dangerous if walking.
Every morning I see several freshly killed animals in the stretch of Arlington Road between 17th Street and Prow Road. This is a major corridor for traffic to and from BHSN, especially during early dawn hours when many species are most actively foraging and attempting to cross the road. It’s heartbreaking to see all these critters getting creamed just for trying to start their day. I know only part of this road is currently within the city boundaries, but is there any reason that section doesn’t have a school speed limit? I don’t live on the road itself so I can’t apply for TCGP.
Hello, I am writing to request a pedestrian safety assessment of the marked crosswalk on East 10th Street, connecting North Woodbridge Drive and East John Hinkle Place in Bloomington. I live on North Woodbridge Drive and regularly use this crosswalk to reach East John Hinkle Place. I have serious concerns about pedestrian safety at this location, particularly given the volume of traffic traveling in both directions at approximately 40 mph. Although the crosswalk is marked, there are no pedestrian-activated warning lights to alert approaching drivers. At these traffic speeds, I believe the existing markings alone provide insufficient warning, creating an unnecessary risk for pedestrians, especially at night. I would like to formally request that the city evaluate installing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at this crossing. These pedestrian-activated flashing lights would provide motorists with additional warning when someone is attempting to cross East 10th Street. Please let me know whether the city can conduct a safety assessment at this location and what steps would be necessary to consider this improvement. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I understand that road maintenance and improvements are important and necessary, however, the amount of construction, road closures, and reduced traffic flows in Bloomington right now is out of hand. Our city is already seeing an increase in traffic demands as students return and it's going to get worse, however, full and partial road closures are increasing. This is a nightmare for people who live, work, and try to get their kids to school in this town but it reflects poorly on those new to Bloomington too. I can't hardly get my child to school, every time I try to find an alternative route, it's closed or down to one lane. Yesterday there was no sign even, just a person standing in the middle of 2nd and Walnut, without a stop sign or anything, which is obviously frustrating to drivers, but INCREDIBLY dangerous for that person. Grimes, Rogers, 2nd, Bloomfield, Kirkwood, Lincoln, Walnut-- there has to be better planning. Shutting down or reducing traffic on these key thorough fares from east to west and back, all in the same time period, has been terrible to deal with and it's dangerous. Please consider spreading work out in the future. I know it's not an easy job but I've lived here for 14 years and I've never seen it so bad as this. I don't want to go anywhere in town because it's a traffic disaster everywhere you turn and I know I'm in the majority. What does that do for our local businesses and university?
I beg you to stop all of the construction. My commute is 10 min to campus. It’s now 30 min because EVERY street, block, corner has construction going on. The traffic is getting unreal. The impacts of one construction sites traffic is impacting the others. No matter where you turn it’s construction traffic.
Work vehicles and heavy machinery was left parked right by my driveway making it unsafe to back out and possibly pull in. I almost ran into one of them backing out of my driveway this morning. They are parked directly behind where we pull out. I want them moved immediately please it is unsafe and dangerous and if I back into one with a vehicle, I’m going to be very very mad. They take up half the road. I wish I had a picture to give you, but I’m already gone from the house today.
