I was walking my dog in this neighborhood recently and I was surprised to see speed bumps on this block — it’s a narrow street, barely used, and you can’t get any speed because you have to turn at either 6th or 7th. I asked a neighbor why the city installed these and was told a new resident installed them on their own. Is that permissible??
I'm curious what the possibility of reducing the speed limit on Bloomfield is? From my observation biking and driving that road daily (I live off Basswood), 40 mph starting just west of Adams seems too fast for such a narrow lane with a lot of drives and high deer crossing further west approaching the highway. I've often seen people fly up the hill between Landmark and Cory and slam on their breaks because they couldn't see the traffic stopped ahead. Not sure how you determine speed limits. I'm also curious of a deer crossing sign could be placed along Bloomfield (between Twin Lakes Recreation Center and I-69) - I bike that road everyday and there's a new dead deer every week or so. I know people stop looking at/get desensitized to signs, but it just seems to appropriate to put a deer sign there. Thanks for all you do!
Trailers, junk and skid steer on both sides of the street. Loud running machinery.
There is a huge hole in the road thats not covered up and there is no signage indicating that there is a hole, it looks to be made from the construction. It popped my tire.
The alley running east to west has been closed since 11.05.2025 due to a small asphalt repair. I am unsure why it is still closed eight days later. It is disrupting the flow of traffic through the neighborhood.
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.
At the S Highland / E 2nd St 4 way intersection I have within one week noticed four vehicles that have not obeyd the STOP signs on E 2nd street going east and west. Maybe the big tree in the north east corner needs to be trimmed a little? Or put up a pre warning sign of an upcoming four way STOP?
Excessive growth blocking sidewalk on both sides of the street
Need street-surface traffic direction arrows painted in the 2 lanes of S. Clarizz heading north. I have seen people make the right-hand lane into a left-hand turn onto East 3rd St. Please see pic of suggested arrows. The yellow marks are the direction available besides a right turn. Tx!
Vacant lot between 3124 and 3120 E Ramble Road. The shrubs and trees branches are encroaching on the public sidewalk. The owner needs to maintain their property so that the sidewalk is able to be traversed and not require pedestrians to walk in the street. Thank you.
