Please continue the double yellow line on N Morton St from 6th St all the way up to 11th St. There is a small section that stops at the N Morton St and W 9th St intersection and just past the 8th St intersection. People do not know how to use the space they have available on their side of the road without this.
Feedback for the pedestrian push button in front of the Bloomington Transit Center building: I think it would be helpful to have a button to cross W 3rd St facing the larger portion of the sidewalk. As a pedestrian, I am particularly aware of not getting too close to corners of sidewalks until my time to cross is ready, especially corners with low curbs that busses and trucks need to take tightly against the sidewalk in order to make the turn.
At the intersection of Kinser Pike and SR46. When travelling north on Kinser Pike on the south side of 46 and waiting to turn right (to head east on 46), there is room for a right turn lane, but it is only partially paved and has some major ruts that makes it almost impossible to turn right on red. I'd suggest paving this area and providing a full right turn lane to ease traffic congestion. Thanks
My comment is for the Engineering Department for their consideration pursuant to the March 30 public meeting at city hall regarding safety improvements at the intersection of East Morningside Drive and Smith Road. Most of the comments were related to the urgency of taking effective action to encourage southbound drivers on Smith Road to stop at the Morningside intersection. My comment addresses specific action to increase awareness of the presence of a Stop sign that is not visible to southbound drivers before they are near the intersection. Similar situations locally have been corrected by placing a STOP AHEAD flashing caution sign approximately 100 feet in advance of the Stop sign. That is about the same distance for the Stop sign to become visible to drivers cresting the hill south of the railroad. Flashing caution signs with solar powered lights on both sides of the street and located midway between the railroad underpass and the Morningside intersection would get the attention of southbound drivers as they approach the intersection. In addition, markings on the pavement south of the underpass and a few rumble strips would provide sound and vibration signals to drivers who may be distracted by using phones or other impairments to their full attention.
Yesterday (Thursday 25 Sept) at 5:15pm, a Ford Bronco turned *North* (left) onto Dunn from 10th Street (against the one-way direction), traveled north at a high rate of speed several blocks, and then pulled into the parking lot of 820 N. Dunn. During this illegal maneuver, another car that was traveling south on Dunn (the correct direction) had to pull over to avoid a collision. The driver might not have known he was committing a violation because that intersection is not clearly marked "Do Not Enter". Maybe a sign should be put up there to make sure that careful drivers know it is one-way.
The intersection of N Jefferson St and E 5th St currently only has a two way stop. Drivers and pedestrians would highly benefit from making it a four way stop. Cars drive 40+ mph down N Jefferson St, which makes it dangerous when proceeding from E 5th St. It is hard to see if cars are coming, because of the street parking. Many pedestrians have to cross this street in order to get to campus. I believe in the last year there have been at least 3 accidents here.
Several (5) driveways (including ours at 2404) back into N. Headley Road just at the crest of a hill. Traffic is often fast going down to Griffy Lake. There potential for accidents involving people backing out of their driveways with limited visibility of traffic coming up the hill from either direction on N. Headley Rd. We would appreciate signaling on both sides of the hill that traffic should be aware of blind driveways at the top of the hill (5 driveways). e.g., "SLOW DOWN: Blind Driveways"
Request for a crosswalk be painted at 11th and Fee crossing 11th. That's a heavily trafficked area and there's no crosswalk.
I AM REACHING OUT ABOUT A SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY CONCERN I'VE NOTICED NEAR COLLINS THAT I WAS WANTING TO GET TAKEN CARE OF AS CENTER PRESIDENT THIS YEAR. BETWEEN THE MAIN QUAD ON WOODLAWN AND THE HILLCREST APARTMENTS, THERE IS NO CROSSWALK/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING/YIELD SIGN EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SITUATED DIRECTLY BETWEEN TWO BUSY INTERSECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE WE DO HAVE LIGHT POSTS ON THIS PATH, THEY ARE ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, AND THE BULBS ARE VERY DIM. I WAS WONDERING HOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A CHANGE IMPLEMENTED HERE. THE COLLINS LLC HAS ART STUDIOS IN BOTH THE MAIN QUAD AND AT HILLCREST, AND THEY ARE HARD TO ACCESS SAFELY, ESPECIALLY FOR SOME OF OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE CHRONIC ILLNESSES AND EYESIGHT ISSUES THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A YIELD SIGN, INCREASED LIGHTING, AND POSSIBLE TACTILE PAVING.
We would like to request a slowdown sign or a lower speed limit on our street 20th St. people have been coming off the highway onto our street doing 40mph until they hit Arlington road. This is a neighborhood with children and a daycare.
