While I was crossing the street, one lane from the end of the crosswalk, a car turned right at the red light without stopping. It went straight through where I would have been if I hadn’t jolted back. On the way back, another car made the same maneuver - turning right on red through the crosswalk without stopping - although fortunately did so before I entered the street.
On Monday, November 17, 2025 at approximately 1:48 PM, a City of Bloomington Parking Enforcement vehicle was parked directly in front of the air pump at Circle K, 527 E Third St, Bloomington, IN 47401, blocking public access to the equipment. This is not a designated parking space and the vehicle obstructed use of a paid utility intended for customers. I’ve attached photos showing the vehicle, its placement, and the blocked equipment. I’m submitting this so it can be documented and forwarded to the appropriate supervisor. City enforcement staff should be held to the same parking standards applied to the public. Thank you.
Traveling north on Lower Cascades Park Rd., just north of the entrance to IMI Concrete, there is a traffic hazard on the northbound lane. For several weeks I have noticed water coming down the hill and spilling onto the road. Normally this would not be so much an issue, but it is now washing newly-fallen leaves from the hillside's trees onto the roadway as well, making it a slippery stretch of road. As there are leaves on the hillside all the time, it's potentially hazardous, but moreso now. Where is this water coming from? It's not seen on other parts of the roadway, but has been consistently here the past few weeks I've traveled it. Thanks for investigating!
I'm curious if somebody with the city can tell me why you guys have to do construction on the bridge on vernal Pike that goes over 65 that's not even 10 years old absolutely fucking ridiculous the traffic that's backed up cuz you guys have one lane open again to a bridge it's not even 10 years old
I am writing to recommend adding signage to help reduce vehicle speeds at the intersection of W Bayles Road and N Northwoods Lane. This area frequently experiences traffic traveling above the posted speed limit, which creates a safety concern. Additionally, when turning east from N Northwoods Lane, visibility of oncoming traffic from the east is extremely limited. Adding signage or other measures would alert drivers traveling west on W Bayles Road that there is a hidden intersection ahead, improving overall safety. Could you advise if additional signage is possible or if Monroe County has other recommendations to address this issue? Thank you for your time and consideration.
Multiple student have been hit and some hospitalized from trying to walk across this very dangerous intersection. Students use this crosswalk many times everyday and also at night. The lack of lighting, signs, stop lights, and increased drivers that aren't paying attention makes this issue urgent. As a current member and resident of the Alpha Gamma Delta house I use this crosswalk multiple times every day and rely on it to get me safely from one place to another. It is very frustrating to have seen all of these accidents happen and no solution being worked on for this humongous problem. Please add a stoplight or some sort of safety mechanisms. 1 accident was already enough, but now multiple is just outrageous.
I frequently drive through the intersection of Hillside and Henderson, often approaching it from the south (on Henderson). I hope the city can consider putting a "No Right on Red" sign there. This intersection has students from Templeton and South High School as pedestrians and cyclists (and from South as drivers). When you are turning right/east from Henderson onto Hillside, you do not have visibility until you have pulled forward into the crosswalk across Henderson. Because of the difficulty seeing if you have a clearing, I can imagine someone wanting to speed into a right turn...but it is a very populated corner with Feast there and apartments and Templeton close by, and pedestrians in the crosswalk could be at risk. I have counseled my daughter, who is learning to drive, not to try to turn right until the light turns green (and to wait to signal till then). If you have your turn signal on, people behind you can get impatient...a stressful situation for a new driver. And since there is a lot of traffic going to and from the high school, this intersection has a high concentration of new drivers. A friend of hers on a bike was hit last year at that intersection.
We have had multiple incidents on our street due to people driving too fast and visibility issues for drivers coming out of E Allendale Road. A car flipped and landed at the entrance of Barkley Square apartments, a car went off road striking the corner of a carport and edge of a house, a woman was killed after striking a moving vehicle and most recently a young woman struck our walnut tree at the edge of our driveway suffering a concussion and a broken arm. Totaled her car and the other driver’s car was damaged badly but her airbags seemed to have prevented injury. We, as well as our neighbors have had to replace our mailboxes several times. It is a matter of time before someone on the sidewalk is struck and killed. I have not seen police stopping speeders on our street for some time. I believe some type of traffic calming devices would help as no one drives the 30 mph speed limit on this road.
intersection at Sare and Rhorer. If turning left onto Rhorer it's very difficult if not impossible to see around the car to your right that's turning onto Rhorer. Also, cars coming down the hill on Rhorar, to the left are very fast. Should be 4-way stop or traffic light.
The intersection of W Watson and Madison, in the Broadview Neighborhood, is used all the time to cut traffic and miss the light. Cars don't stop. They fly through the intersection. Can no pass through signs go up, but also a speed bump on either side? A speed bump on each side of the intersection would stop people from all sides. The neighbors also fly through the stop signs there.
