Almost all lights out on street
Almost all lights out on street
The stop light on College Mall Road at Covenanter is FLASHING RED both ways Drivers on College Mall Rd are stopping then going and not allowing the Covenanter drivers their turn.
People treat this traffic light as an optional stop sign. Even if the light is solid red (not blinking), if cars have seen a pedestrian finish the crossing or don't observe a pedestrian they continue through this red light. BPD could set up in the switchyard parking lot and rake in $ from all of the traffic violations here. More enforcement and maybe making the light always green (unless a pedestrian is crossing) would force car traffic to better respect this light. No one takes it seriously as is and I have seen multiple bikers/skaters/walkers almost get hit as they make the cross when the crosswalk is still clearly lit up.
Not sure if this is a City light or not because it's not at a main intersection, but it looks like one. Whatever the case, it's burned out. It's the one on the SW corner of the intersection of the west alley (there are two alleys in this block) and Cottage Grove.
There is a series of about eight decorative street lights (green metal, antique style) in the ROW that stretch from 411 N. Lincoln to 523 N. Lincoln along the west side of the street. They are similar to ones down near the Grant Street Inn. Several of them have been broken off near the base and all but one of them (the one in front of 411) are burned out. If they are not being used, maybe they should be removed because it's a pain to mow around them.
The traffic light on N Walnut Street at State Road 45 Bypass is very short for northbound cars about 5 pm. The light was yellow by just the third car and this is a busy intersection, especially during rush hour. Could the timing be adjusted? Thanks.
The street light at Rogers and Kirkwood has been horrible since they did construction last year (or whenever it was, I don't know how long ago). It takes forever to change, always turns out the green turn left turn light even if no one is turning. It makes me avoid the light and drive through the neighborhood, which I'm sure is frustrating to people in the neighborhood as I can't be the only one doing that. Combined with the no (right) turn on red at this light, it's extremely frustrating, especially at night when no one is around. Thank you.
All streetlights are out on S Washington St. from E Third St. to at least E Smith. It is very dark and worrisome at night; there is very low visibility when I walk home. One of the posts has electrical wiring coming out of it. Many streetlight posts show damage. I first brought this issue up with Duke Energy and they said the City of Bloomington maintains this stretch of lights.
Street light comes on for about a minute, then just glows, then comes back on, etc.
