Hello, This message is to inform you that the traffic sign at the intersection of Sixth and Washington (facing east). The sign indicates that the traffic traveling on Washington does not stop. While this is true, the sign shows the traffic on Washington travels north; in fact, traffic on the street travels south. This mistake is misleading and might lead to an accident.
This is a suggestion for the intersection where Range Rd and Pete Ellis Drive intersect 10th street. I would like to suggest that a “no right on red” sign be put up for traffic traveling west bound on 10th street. If I am heading south on Range Rd and want to turn (left) west onto 10th street I am required to stop well in advance of the intersection because the radius allowed for cars turning onto Range Rd from 10th street (right) is affected by the concrete wall on the northeast corner of the intersection. If I have a green light on Range Rd and I am turning left onto 10th and a car turns right on red from west bound 10th street onto Range Rd I could possibly have a head-on collision. The reason I mention this is because I have nearly been hit head-on twice in the past month. I don’t think cars turning onto Range Rd think about how much room they need to clear the turn and therefore need to cut into the Range Rd left turn lane. Cars who are traveling on Range Rd and are making a left turn aren’t expecting a car to turn into them from 10th street.
I would like to suggest increased reckless driving enforcement for stopping to drop off and pick up passengers on 3rd St, and College ave, and anywhere else really. I have seen and been involved several close calls from unexpected non-signaled stops for passengers in non-commercial vehicles not at intersections or waysides.
The alley section behind our business and that of the Von Lee Building on E. Kirkwood is in need of paving. The patching done a few weeks ago has loosened and many potholes remain. Can the city please budget this section of the alley to be re-paved as it is now a common traffic thoroughfare and in disrepair? Also, there is a Piazza truck driver who parks his truck daily along a stretch of this alley while eating his 2-3 hour lunch. He is not conducting business while parked there each weekday. There is a "no parking" sign adjacent to where he parks. He claims there is no where else he can park and eat his lunch...As Spring weather comes, this alley gets much mixed use traffic, and his truck is a barrier to the flow of traffic. I spoke with him today and he admitted that he just parks there to eat - he is not delivering to the Von Lee building. Parking fees?
Hello. There is a battered, fallen-over road construction sign on the sidewalk on the north side of Third Street between College Avenue and Walnut Street. I believe this is leftover from the College Avenue road upgrade project that was recently completed south of Third Street. Can this sign be removed please? In its present condition it
The speed limit sign of 30 m/h on the side of Hillside going towards Highland, just around the corner from, High Street and Stier Park is now totally obscured by a blooming pear tree. Can you move the sign or remove the branches that hang in front of it?
I sent the attached e-mail to the Project Managers for the 494/169 interchange project, but it occurred to me I should send it to the City as well. Many of the traffic circles part of the project (specifically those in the southwest quadrant and possibly others) have earth "hills" in the circle centers which make it difficult to see vehicles already on the circle to which one must yield when entering a circle. I suggest the mounds be leveled and only low-growing landscaping planted in the circle centers to improve sight lines.
Could the city look into removing the temporary sign at the corner of Pete Ellis Drive and Third Street that direct motorists to the various shops in the Barnes & Noble and Best Buy shopping centers? I believe this sign was placed during contruction on the 3rd Street and 46 Bypass construction to help motorists navigate into these shops. Now that construction is complete, can this unneeded sign please be removed?
Hello. You might recall that I recently asked the City about removing this sign; you stated it was the jurisdiction of the State. Here's my request to them and their reply from June 18. I doubt this is a legal sign from understanding past history. Can you remove this unneeded sign and alleviate sign pollution? Can you please look into removing the temporary sign that was installed on SR46 in Bloomington at its intersection with Pete Ellis Drive? The sign points directions to local businesses whose entrances were affected during last year's SR46 Bloomington bypass construction project. This sign is located on the NW corner of SR46 (East Third Street) and Pete Ellis Drive. It's obvious this sign was meant to be temporary, and now that construction is complete it should be removed. Dear Mr. Arvesen, I sent your concerns to our Construction Department. They state that the temporary sign in question is not a sign that INDOT and/or the Contractor working on the State Road 46 Bypass project installed. This is a sign that the shopping center had made and installed. You would need to contact the shopping center management to have this sign removed because it is a sign that they had installed, not INDOT. Our Construction Department has also sent an email to the City of Bloomington to notify them of your concerns about this sign.
