Scoters blocking on sidewalk on 500 west Patterson drive
Scoters blocking on sidewalk on 500 west Patterson drive
Catalent changed which of their entrances their employees are allowed to use. Because of this the left turn lane of patterson (headed west) is used much more and backs up, blocking the straight/right lane too.
Intersection of Patterson and Rogers, headed west. Catalent has closed one of their entrances so now the left turn lane here backs up (blocking the straight/right lane) because all of them are turning left.
On patterson across from calalent there are vacant tents and tons of trash On the same road heading towards 2nd st on the left is the same problem
Signal is in flashing both directions. Traffic not backed up.
The southbound traffic light on Rogers does not turn green for southbound traffic. I sat through multiple full light cycles before I carefully and safely proceeded through the intersection. 4:20PM 2/20/26.
The traffic light at Roger Street in Patterson is acting irregularly. Did not cycle for several minutes.
big pothole
This could apply anywhere in Bloomington, frankly, as it's a persistent issue, so I just picked the intersection where I experienced it most recently. Every single time I drive in Bloomington after the sun goes down, I'm met with drivers who fail (or just refuse) to dim their brights. Ind. Code ยง 9-21-8-51 is still on the books. I'd suggest posting signage along busier roads, but based on how often Btown drivers ignore the "One-Way" and "No Turn On Red" signs, I doubt it would work anyway. If the city has any ideas on a community education measure or infrastructure project that would help remind drivers that, yes, leaving your brights on while encountering another driver/pedestrian IS still against the law - that would be cool.
The construction road closure on Rogers from Patterson to Switchyard Park is horrendous. Someone needs to go help the people setting it up. Heading north on Rogers from Rockport, there's no road closure sign, just road construction, one lane road, and flagger signs. Then at 1pm on 10/7/2025 I got to a one lane road with no flagger. Oncoming traffic in my lane. Then at Rogers and Patterson, the entire lane of southbound Rogers is blocked by a road closed sign and people needing local access are driving into northbound lanes of traffic to go south. And North of Patterson on Rogers the south bound lane is 50-75% blocked by a road closed sign before you even get to the fully open interesting so people are forced to cross left of the center double yellow line into oncoming traffic. This is very dangerous in every way. Go check it out. The contractor clearly is not going a good job at all.
