Bloomington bus driver around 7:15 pm near 3rd and Smith wasn't wearing a mask, was around down on his neck. Didn't look like anyone was within 6 feet of him, but shouldn't he always have one on in a confined bus? Can't remember tag. Think ended in 22. 85722, something like that, but couldn't be certain.
We're trying to slow traffic in our neighborhood on e Morningside. Can Bloomington transit set a better example and go a reasonable speed please
Newly planted trees should not be dug up at schmals farm park because one well connected citizen “didn’t like them”.
So you guys are sanctuary city which like every other city cry if you think you're cheated out of tax money you scream and throw a tantrum. But you welcome thousand thousands of helical elements to Bloomington with your hand wide open in between though and temper tantrum. So here's my issue we know they can't get a driver's license yet you see hundreds if not thousands of Mexicans new to the state driving now, which are unable to receive a driver's license and yet you guys are just nicely looking the other way. I saw a wreck yesterday or one of them took off after the rep because they didn't have a driver's license this is unacceptable behavior from the city you guys need to address it
Please clear major sidewalks. Clearance of the roads seems to be a priority, but not the sidewalks if we want to have a city that people can walk around in. We need to clear sidewalks when there is snow otherwise it’s very treacherous and then people will just only drive around, which is not our state of goal for the city
I have no idea how many times I’ve complained about this light. I wish the head of this department lived out this way and had to wait through a quarter mile backup while the light switched back and forth without any cross traffic. Quit putting a band-aid on it and fix it permanently
I have been complaining about this light for years. You come out and fix it and it lasts for a couple months and then it goes back to its old pattern of switching with no cross traffic to set it off. Morning and evening this backs up traffic badly both directions
The traffic light at Bloomfield Rd (2nd Street) & Rolling Ridge Way is a problem during normal commuting hours (7:30am-8:30am & 4:30pm-5:30pm). In the morning, traffic comes to a crawl and is backed up from this intersection all the way to the exits of Highway 69, often blocking the Highway exits. The short trip between the Highway exits and this intersection would normally take less than 1 minute. During the morning commute hours, it takes 5+ minutes. A similar situation occurs in the evening. Westbound traffic comes to a crawl and is commonly backed up from this intersection to S Patterson Drive, or sometimes even farther. This traffic light is certainly the cause. After passing this light, the congestion is no where to be seen and traffic flows normally. My suggestion would be to alter the programming of this light, during these specific hours, to be much more heavily biased toward East-West traffic. Perhaps it could stay green for East-West traffic for 50% longer than standard, or similar.
I don’t know how many times I’ve complained about this light. In the morning it backs up traffic to the interstate and in the evening it backs up to Landmark ave. It is not the result of Catalent traffic. The light cycles even if there is no cross traffic. When it does cycle it first lights the west bound turn light whether or not there is anyone in that lane. The local residents are beginning to believe this light is left broken as a form of punishment for opposing annexation
I have complained about this light for literally years. The light switches and stops Bloomfield road traffic when there is no cross traffic. It is not a result of Catalent traffic from the Sportsplex. When the light does switch it allows west bound traffic but also activates the left turn signal light with no one in the lane. This holds up the east bound traffic for the length of the light. In the morning the traffic was backed up so far west I couldn’t see the end of it. Last night(10/6) the traffic was backed up to Landmark (4 tens of a mile) while the light went through it’s broken cycle during rush hour. The last time I complained it took a month for the repair to happen and it lasted one week. Last year when I spoke to the technician who was working on it he said the sensors were broken. Why does a supposed green administration allow all of those cars to sit and idle and pollute while frustrating all of those commuters. Is it just city incompetence or a deliberate attempt to punish or influence west side residents on the matter of annexation. I’m going to copy this and post it on every city platform I can find every day until this is fixed. I’m going to put up realtor type signs to garner commuter support against this problem. Please fix it permanently
