The street sign for Cherry Street was blown down Wednesday night. Also there should probably be a yield sign instead of stop at that corner. Will appreciate your attention. Thank you.

The islands of trees surrounded by curbs that are being constructed in the roadways throughout the city. I’m wondering why the city is installing them since they’re already responsible for the death of a deputy sheriff who died from her injuries sustained during a traffic accident in which she was responding with lights and sirens to a call got hit going threw a red light and the ambulance was called but unable to get there for an extended period of time due to the trees and curbs constructed in the roadways throughout the city leaving no room for the ambulance to navigate around pulled over vehicles. I thought that when the city removed the brand new islands that they had constructed that they would find a better speed diversion, or would at least limit the construction of new islands but instead we now have many islands that make it nearly impossible to turn onto certain roads and streets due to the lack of room because of the brick filled curbed islands and trees. It seems ridiculous to me that the people are paying for obstacles in the roadway that make it nearly impossible to drive on the streets in Bloomington. They are wonderful for bicycling and walking however seeing as the city of Bloomington does not enforce no riding bikes on the sidewalks I don’t see much importance in having bicycle lanes in the roads since people on bicycles are allowed to ride their bikes on the sidewalks, which is extremely dangerous in my opinion but I’ve witnessed hundreds of bicyclist on the sidewalks in the downtown district and on Kirkwood, where there are police station within feet of them riding their bikes on the sidewalk and no attempt to stop them has been made.

I witnessed a woman get struck by a pickup truck today at E 3rd and Morningside. This was an accident waiting to happen, as pedestrians and bicyclists on E 3rd Street are constantly risking their lives to cross it. The distance from the crosswalk at Smith Rd to the traffic light at SR 446 is 0.5 miles. (Note, there are also ZERO pedestrian crossing marks at the very busy intersection of 3rd & 446, where people with kids cross to get to Bruester's Ice Creamery.) HUNDREDS of rental units have been built on both sides of 3rd between Park Ridge and 446. A SAFE crossing should be added, with flashers or center island at Park Ridge or Morningside, or a traffic light should be placed at 3rd and Park Ridge.

There is are several crosswalks on Allen St. that are very hard to see at night. The lines could use reflective coating or blinking lights to help them be visible by car headlights at night.

The traffic light pole here takes up half the sidewalk, leaving very little room for pedestrians to get around. Probably impossible for someone with a mobility aid to pass (e.g. wheelchair, walker). Seems like a major ADA issue. Even as someone with fine mobility, I barely had room to get by while staying on the sidewalk.

Big hole in ROW around water meter. Very close to main gas line running under sidewalk, but the utilities have not been marked. Seems like there is a State law requiring diggers to contact 811 to locate. https://indiana811.org/resources/full-law/

Good Morning, There are two Downtown Bloomington signs located on the north and south end of the sidewalk between College Avenue and the Justice Building at 301 North College. Unfortunately, they have lost their luster, the anchoring points are looking suspect and they are impeding the maintenance teams ability to remove snow. I believe these signs are located in the COB right-of-way and assume that there is a formal process to request relocation elsewhere. Preferably down the street in either direction. Please let me know. Thank you, Richard Crider Fleet and Building Manager Monroe County Commissioners 100 W Kirkwood Ave Rm 322 Bloomington, IN 47404 812-803-6331

Can we get another no parking street sign installed on w 14th street between N Woodburn Ave and Madison St? There used to be one in front of the yellow duplex not sure if someone took it or it was taken out. But on game day people were parked on both sides of the road making near impossible to get through. Also during the week people park on that side of the road where its supposed to be no parking and school buses have to navigate through. Thanks for your time.

At early hours and evening hours, it is nearly impossible to see pedestrians moving on these crosswalks. As an extremely safe driver who never takes their eyes off of the road, I have had several encounters with the crosswalks in this area where I can barely see a pedestrian and have to brake rather hard as I see them so late. I know this is an issue for many other people as we have been discussing it and given that those crosswalks are utilized for all stadium related events, they need to be better lit to ensure the safety of all pedestrians as they lie in an extremely busy road where cars go rather fast.

This light is far too short for those going east/West on 17th street. Going west. It only allows 4 or 5 cars to go through the intersection. At a time and then the next one at college and 17th street also is short. So you have a backup of traffic that just sits there because the traffic lights don't snc in a way that allows traffic to flow.
