The crosswalk buttons at the intersection of Patterson and Prospect Street do not appear to be functioning correctly. We have had several reports from our residents that they do not work. Additionally, we have a resident who uses a wheelchair, which makes it considerably dangerous for him to cross, considering that they don't work. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Also has had signs of vagrancy with clothing and trash left behind. At our building we've seen more folks now resting on our stoop (ring camera) after hours and on weekends. Assuming this is a result of them not being able to access the next door property. My non-profit is a tenant of the building.

The alley connecting W 3rd Street to W 4th Street, adjacent to 415 W 4th Street, has become a significant pedestrian safety concern. Vehicles frequently travel through the alley and cross the sidewalk onto W 4th Street without stopping or yielding to pedestrians. There is currently no stop sign, crosswalk, or other traffic control indicating that drivers should stop before crossing the pedestrian path, and the path is totally blind to alleyway drivers. This is a year-round issue but it becomes especially hazardous during IU student move-in and other high-traffic periods, when both vehicle and pedestrian traffic increase considerably. People who regularly walk through this area have reported multiple instances of nearly being struck by vehicles exiting the alley. I am requesting that the City evaluate this location and consider installing a stop sign for vehicles exiting the alley and/or adding a marked pedestrian crossing or other appropriate safety measure. Given the limited visibility and lack of any traffic-control signage, some form of intervention seems necessary before someone is injured.

The active construction sites on both Second St and West Kirkwood are causing dangerous traffic flow concerns on Howe St. Traffic that would normally take those routes is now all flowing onto Howe St, which is a two-way street with only one-lane traffic flow, and street parking. Typically, Howe St. is not very active except for local traffic. However, traffic flow is nearly continuous from both directions. Today in particular, (8/17) there has been non-stop traffic flow and I have seen several almost collisions and cars are speeding very fast down the road from both directions. I would highly suggest resolving some of the active construction sites in the area so they are not all occurring simultaneously, or alleviate traffic flow issues by planning better detours. In multiple locations on this side of town, many detour signs simply re-route you to another active construction area. Definitely a safety issue as this is a small neighborhood with pets and pedestrians walking the streets most of the time, and most local homeowners are limited to street parking. Additional construction has also recently been added to 1st street, and S Rogers st also adding to the issue.

I understand that road maintenance and improvements are important and necessary, however, the amount of construction, road closures, and reduced traffic flows in Bloomington right now is out of hand. Our city is already seeing an increase in traffic demands as students return and it's going to get worse, however, full and partial road closures are increasing. This is a nightmare for people who live, work, and try to get their kids to school in this town but it reflects poorly on those new to Bloomington too. I can't hardly get my child to school, every time I try to find an alternative route, it's closed or down to one lane. Yesterday there was no sign even, just a person standing in the middle of 2nd and Walnut, without a stop sign or anything, which is obviously frustrating to drivers, but INCREDIBLY dangerous for that person. Grimes, Rogers, 2nd, Bloomfield, Kirkwood, Lincoln, Walnut-- there has to be better planning. Shutting down or reducing traffic on these key thorough fares from east to west and back, all in the same time period, has been terrible to deal with and it's dangerous. Please consider spreading work out in the future. I know it's not an easy job but I've lived here for 14 years and I've never seen it so bad as this. I don't want to go anywhere in town because it's a traffic disaster everywhere you turn and I know I'm in the majority. What does that do for our local businesses and university?
