Traffic Signals
377-399 S Henderson St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401
- Case Date:
- 2/21/2019
The north bound walk signal at Atwater and Indiana/Henderson does not turn on automatically and sometimes does not work even if the button is pushed. I was nearly hit today by a driver turning right because the signal did not turn on. It should be made automatic so that friction between drivers and pedestrians are reduced so close to the heavily pedestrian campus.
The lights at Henderson and Atwater, and then at Henderson/Indiana at 3rd, are very poorly timed in the morning. The first car through at Henderson-Atwater when the light turns green *might* make it through the green light at Indiana-3rd, but no one else will unless they go way over the speed limit, causing a hazard (which they do). This also causes unnecessary backup and delays on this major road leading toward IU. Meanwhile, traffice on Atwater (especially) and 3rd is very light, both having a very long green with few cars going through. This light timing was bad last year, seemed to have been changed for the better, and now appears to have been changed back.
The streetlight has been malfunctioning for a number of weeks. Every several minutes it goes out, gradually brightens, and then goes out again.
The streetlight outside our house has been malfunctioning for several weeks. It cycles on and off every several minutes during the night. It goes out, slowly brightens again, and then goes back out.
Reported what could be sinkhole forming outside residence at 3749 E. Cameron Avenue. Approximately 1 foot wide and about 8 in. deep. Noticed that street looked hollow underneath, wants response when action is taken.
Called in complaint of possible sinkhole in front of 3749 E Cameron Avenue. A complaint had been called in a few weeks ago (UReport #159862), and the hole was patched up. She said the hole is back, and it looks as if there is a problem underneath the road that cannot be fixed with a patch.
All of stadium crossing and varsity court has roads that are barely drivable.
There are two growing potholes in the southbound lane, causing cars to have to divert into the left lane (on the curve) to avoid them.
There is a massive whole that takes up the whole southbound/eastbound lane. On a bicycle, it's very difficult to avoid it without riding in the other lane.
