Cottage Grove and 11th. Street sign is askew.
Cottage Grove and 11th. Street sign is askew.
Citizen (who is a candidate for County Commissioner), claims Sanitation truck has been speeding through his neighborhood. Says he has seen this at least twice, even at times that are not collection days for that area.
I have made this complaint before, and the response was that something was going to be done about it "soon" but that was about 6 months ago. The intersection of Allendale and Winslow is VERY DANGEROUS. Drivers blow through the stop signs on a VERY regular basis, especially people traveling East on Winslow. I believe that many people do not notice the stop sign at all. I am surprised that there have not been more accidents here. I suggest that a blinking light be put on the stop sign at the least. It would be best to make it a blinking red in all directions. The response I received last year was that a bigger, new "stop ahead" sign was going to be installed and a stop sign was going to be added on the North side of the intersection (facing east bound traffic) to catch drivers' attentions. However, nothing at all has been done. I have seen someone run this stop sign 4 times in the last week, and I am not at that intersection very long each day.
Intersection of 3rd and Pete Ellis is dangerous. Often a line for a left hand turn from 3rd develops to enter the B N parking lot. Island on 3rd doesn't allow traffic to get out of way from through traffic. Problem results in sudden braking and traffic congestion into College Mall and 3rd intersection. Resident would greatly appreciate a reply to his complaint. Please see Julio for copy of inquiry.
Gordon Pike between Walnut and Rogers St has been repaved, but not striped and it's hazardous at night, especially when it rains. When will it be striped?
Dangerous intersection - should install traffic controls to prevent people heading South on Curry Pike to turn East in to Speedway and keep people from turning South out of Speedway. This intersection is very busy and I have seen multiple near misses in the last few weeks.
Please add more signage to 3rd and Rogers St. to discourage through traffic on W 3rd St. especially large trucks and vehicles with trailers. 4th St. & 3rd St. & Howe are all designated “neighborhood residential street” in the Bloomington Transportation Plan. They are to be “low speed and low volume”. There is a sign east of Rogers on 3rd. that says “No through trucks on 3rd St” but it is old and very faded. I am asking if a similar sign could be newly added to the two sign posts at Rogers that are of a picture of a black truck with a red circle crossing it out, add the written signs underneath that, is that possible? Thanks.
THere is a junk car that is parked halfway on the side walk and the car is being beaten up a little more everyday
Dangerous intersection at Euclid and Second street due to zero visibility caused by overgrown weeds. Turning either way is suicidal.
Why did you change the traffic flow of this roundabout? It use to flow very smooth. I drive northbound on Sare each day, and now that you have changed the flow, I wait each morning at the roundabout. When school starts, it will be a mess. When those apartments fill up and the rest of the Lakes is build, it will be much, much worse. Please consider changing it back to the way it was. Someone has too much time on their hands to change things like this, or else you have faulty data. It would have been nice if you asked for public comments before you changed it.
