Parking is allowed on the east side of the road, which makes it impossible for two vehicles to pass since parking is also allowed on west side of road. Unsafe near collision observed this morning. Should change to only allow parking on one side.
Horrific parking that puts eastbound traffic into oncoming traffic at stop sign! Landlord didn’t supply proper parking in our residential neighborhood,again!

After work and school lets out (after 3:30pm) this intersection is impossible to turn left while heading north to go west. There are no good functions in this town for a west/east (and vice versa) so this should be looked at with this pending study. The on street parking on Madison is underused and limited and there should be an increased length of turn lane and signal length so the increasing number of folks at new and old developments can head west. Please address this and don’t make it even more impossible to navigate in this area when the study is to be implemented. Thanks!
Traffic is absolutely insane now in the mornings with IU students back and local schools in session. 17th street is backed up with insane amounts of people trying to head east. One cannot get through the light to turn onto Madison to head south. This area is a part of a study that needs help! Everyone who interacts with these conditions don’t have time to try and come out to a work session about bike lanes, we also need to get to and from work in a timely manner in our vehicles that are also carpool! How is this going to be fixed when more and more density continues to be built with lots of parking for increased vehicles on 17th street when the street facilities and light patterns are not adequate? The fact that there are two additional tiny intersections for the crowd to get to IU’s campus across the downtown college and walnut corridor is atrocious. Please work on this traffic in the morning!
The signs at the B-Line Trail cross on N. Rogers just south of 10th Street create confusion and dangerous situations. Rogers traffic headed south to the crossing are told there is a speed hump, slow down to 20mph. The Rogers traffic headed north are told there is a bicycle and pedestrian crossing. Eastbound trail traffic is told to stop, as cross traffic does not stop. It seems in experience crossing here on foot and bike that northbound traffic stops for trail users more often than southbound traffic, mainly because southbound traffic is not told there is a reason to stop or yield to trail users. Is there any consideration for a crossing signal with yellow flashing lights or better and more consistent signage that put everyone on the same page here? is this just a speed hump for the City, or is it a safe trail crossing point? With some businesses, like Friendly Beasts, moving into an area west of this crossing, there might be more trail users in the future. Maybe the City can review this proactively to prepare. Thanks.
The amount of simultaneous construction across the entirety of Bloomington has reached a truly ridiculous point. Driving anywhere in town has become a tumultuous, stressful mess. This widespread tearing up of major roads started well before summer, and instead of wrapping up, the gridlock has only gotten increasingly horrid. To make matters worse, the city failed to finish these projects before a massive drove of college students returned to town. Flooding our already broken, bottlenecked streets with thousands of extra drivers at the exact same time is a complete failure of planning that has made Bloomington practically undrivable.
Now that the speed limit on 11th Street has been reduced to 25, can we please lower the limit on Diamond Street to 20 or even 15? It’s a very short stretch of road, but for some reason people feel the need to gun it on the way between 11th Street and Trailview neighborhood. There’s really no good reason to drive faster than 15mph or so on this stretch and it endangers pedestrians going between 11th and the B-Line.
Red Chevy pickup truck parked near south Dunn and hillside drive with expired temporary tags that has not been moved for nearly a month.
Eastbound traffic disregarding the stop sign.
