The edge of the road has crumbled over the culvert that passes under Winslow Road. Would cause catastrophic damage to a vehicle if hit by a car wheel. Exact site is about 50 yards west of 1001 E Winslow Roads mailbox. Issue is on the north side of the road.
Someone left a shopping cart filled with their belongings and it is blocking the sidewalk. I’m not sure if they are living in the bushes or abandoned the cart but it has been there for more than 2 days. It is up against the back yard fences of Sherwood oaks, in the arbor of trees/bushes at the intersection of Allendale and Winslow Rd, just east of the 3 way stop. Additionally, I felt very unsafe walking through this hidden area with the potential of someone hiding in the bushes and the cart blocking more than half of the available walking space.
The corner of Winslow Drive and Allendale Drive has many reflective "stick" posts that are bolted to the street that are damaged or missing. These are in the eastbound lane of Winslow when turning south onto Allendale. Can these be repaired or replaced? Alternatively, since a dedicated right-turn lane exists at this intersection for turning south onto Allendale, can these posts be removed so the right-turn lane can be used again? Why was it determined that the right-turn lane can’t be used any longer? If the right-turn lane cannot be used, can that pavement be removed and the land converted to grass or a landscape bed?
Eastbound traffic is reported as often blowing through the stop sign - either not noticing it and/or unable to anticipate it, creating unsafe conditions at the intersection.
Both lights are out at the three-way stop at Sherwood Oaks subdivision
Vehicles consistently driving at high rates of speed on Winslow Rd. The detour on Rhorer Rd has exasperated this problem. It would behoove our community if there were some traffic calming measures implemented here, or actual enforcement of posted speed limits by BPD.
There is a 3 way stop sign that causes unnecessary traffic.

Eastbound traffic disregarding the stop sign.
At the intersection of E Allendale Dr and Winslow Rd, the three way stop causes unnecessary and possibly dangerous traffic. There should be a stop sign on Allendale and no stop signs on Winslow. The relatively few cars coming from Allendale can wait briefly to enter Winslow without significant inconvenience. Also the pedestrian crossing is barely used and does not warrant stop signs on its own. Winslow is a major thoroughfare in south Bloomington, whereas Allendale enters a suburban development and is not a through-street. There are constant backups on Winslow due to the three way stop. It creates backups that regularly go up to the roundabout at Winslow and High Street, which creates dangerous situations especially when the traffic backs up to the base of a hill that obscures the traffic.
