I'm assuming you're aware of this and repair is in progress, but just in case, the South Walnut and Grimes traffic light continues to cycle green when there are no vehicles in the northbound left turn lane and when there are no vehicles from either direction stopped on Grimes.
Red light out on right side of pole at intersection of N. Adams and Kirkwood/W.3rd. Light for northbound traffic onto Adams from 3rd.
Hello! The intersection of 17th st and Kinser Pike has two left turn lanes each direction off 17th st turning both North and South onto Kinser Pike. The left turn green arrow does not get activated when there is only one car in either direction. I've seen it not get activated when there two cars. These left turns are dangerous for many reasons. This is the crest of a hill and they are basically blind turns when making a left and traffic generally speeds through this intersection very fast. If the left turn green arrow is not activated and there is someone else sitting in the opposite left turn lane facing us, there is no way to see what cars are coming without inching our front ends into the lane hoping we don't get hit and then proceeding with the aforementioned blind turn. I'm asking that the City of Bloomington make the left turn signal green arrows turning off of 17th onto Kinser Pike in both the North and South direction be activated with only one car in the lane. Please make this intersection much less dangerous and precarious for the residents of Bloomington. Gratefully! Mike Stribling mikestribling@hotmail.com
The timing of the light at college mall rd and E 3rdst is such that persons traveling east on 3rd st can’t make it through the light because the traffic turning left onto south college mall rd blocks the intersection. I waited through more than 5 lights tonight.
One more signal seems to be reset back to original settings.
When traveling north on Fee Lane when you reach Fee & 17th the left arrow turn does not come on.
The crossing signal at Gate 8 of the Stadium (on Dunn street north of 17th) is stuck in a continuous loop.
Northbound Patterson at 2nd Street has been malfunctioning for a week now. Intermittently it doesn't turn green for several cycles. Traffic backs up to Allen St. Southbound Patterson will get all green, but northbound will only get a flashing yellow left turn arrow. Cannot believe that this has been going on for week.
The lack of shoulders on the roads is a serious problem in Bloomington. I have lived in a number of cities across the US and Bloomington is the first city I've seen that has very few (if any?) shoulders on the roads. This is unbelievably problematic - if someone has car trouble they can't pull off to the side, if you are dropping someone off you can't just pull off to the side, if I receive a phone call I can't pull over, if riding a bicycle you can't ride along the side.... there are a fair number (surely more than is acceptable) of bike and scooter accidents in Bloomington, and this can largely be attributed to lack of shoulders on roads.
As the city refuses to put a light at the entrance of Blue Ride and N. Walnut you need to lower the speed limit starting at the light at Cascades. When turning left out of the neighborhood it is somewhat blind, so you can often pull out and a car comes right up on you. The speed limit on Tapp from 37 is much lower with no business or a neighborhood.
