Today I was at the intersection of Woodscrest and E Third, and the signal light was blinking red for north-south traffic and yellow for east-west traffic. I was traveling north on Woodscrest. From this side if the intersection, it is virtually impossible to tell (in daylight) that the traffic on Third has a blinking yellow -- meaning they DO NOT have to stop. From Woodscrest, with a blinking red, it could easily be misinterpreted as a 4-way stop!
In addition, as I sat there waiting for an opportunity to turn left, I watched several cars on Third stop as if they did have a red blinker. This happened sometimes in only one lane, while someone else zoomed by in the other lane. Or traffic would stop heading east, but the cars heading west just drove on through.
I just waited, knowing the drivers on Third had no obligation to stop. Then a car came up behind me and honked at me several times because I didn't go into the intersection. In fact, when I finally decided just to turn right and then circle back, I saw the car behind me just pull out in front of a car that was, rightfully, driving through heading west.
I have often discussed with my husband the stupidity of having a traffic signal that requires the driver to be able to know what the OTHER traffic lane's signal is, rather than just seeing and obeying his OWN signal. The result is that the driver on the red side could, and often does, assume that the driver on the other road will stop. What other traffic sign/signal/light requires a driver to see what SOME OTHER DRIVER is supposed to do? I'll answer that -- none!
But enough of my rant -- in this location, it is not really possible to tell what the other signal says. At least during daylight hours, if the signal isn't working, you should probably make it default to red blinking in both directions.
Thanks,
Jeannette Smedberg

I have repeatedly requested for this gate and the others on the rail trail to be locked. It looks like someone has damaged the post on one of the gates. I would feel safer if it was not possible for cars or other motorized vehicles to easily access the trail from the nearby roads..

When the city street department was doing some type of digging throughout the Bloomington streets in October , the streetlight in front of the house was disconnected and never hooked back up. The address is 411 North Lincoln street. I called and reported this but nothing has changed - the light is still not connected.

I filed a complaint well over a month ago about the street light that is not working in front of the house. When repairs were done to the side walks in October, the light was disconnected and just left unconnected, with the glass dome hanging at the top of light. Clearly you can see it’s not working by that alone. I submitted a ticket 200127. Today I received notification that the light was fixed. I was also told by Christina Smith to contact her if it is not. I don’t know how I am supposed to contact her when there is no email or phone on the notification, and it comes from a no reply email. The light is not working now going on over four months. Please send someone out to fix it tired of waiting as it’s a safety hazard as well.

200735 just entered this ticket and can see it open but cannot add to it. There are four street lights not working that are on the west side of the street including mine. You can clearly see this is not fixed.
