On both sides of Basswood Drive, the sidewalks are badly cracked and/or buckled. This is a major tripping hazard. Also, on Basswood Drive, the road for cars has bumps and cracks. Then, there is always trash strewn all along the road.
Green bulb is out on the North side of the intersection
There is a wasteland of excess garbage and debris that was unveiled when the city cut back vegetation in this area. It is on the left hand side right as you turn into the apartment complex.
There is a wasteland of garbage on the corner of S. Oakdale Dr. & W. Bloomfield Road as you are turning into the road that leads to the Oakdale Square apartment complex.
When turning left off of Basswood Drive, if you are not there BEFORE the light turns green for anyone going straight/right at the same intersection, your left turn light stays red until the next cycle. It is so unnecessary and should be a yellow caution arrow like literally every other street light in existence.

Left turn signal from Oakdale Dr onto West Bloomfield does not provide sufficient opportunity. Present timing is only sufficient for one to two vehicles to turn through green. Flashing yellow is only available if other vehicles activate sensors in other lanes. The result is a maximum of only two to three vehicles making the left turn safely per cycle, although there are often 6-8 in queue. Request adjustment of inductive loop sensor timing to achieve improved flow and eliminate multi-cycle wait for vehicles traveling from north on Oakdale Dr to west on W Bloomfield Rd.
Our school bus driver says the light barely stays green long enough for her to get from Oakdale to Basswood daily. Can this green light time be extended a bit, please?
School bus drivers are complaining the light barely stays green long enough to get from Oakdale through the light to Basswood or to turn left. This is my 2nd time putting in this request as I was told this light is maintained by the state and I would need to contact INDOT. I did that and they referred me back to you. Here is the e-mail I received from them regarding this: kenmiller@indot.in.gov Dear Ms. Silvernail, Thank you for contacting the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The intersection of W Bloomfield Road and Oakdale Drive/S Basswood Drive is outside of INDOT jurisdiction. Those roads are city streets under the jurisdiction of the City of Bloomington. I understand that you contacted them already, but I can confirm that they are city streets, which INDOT does not maintain. Here is the link to their website: https://bloomington.in.gov/departments/public-works/street and phone number: 812-349-3448. You can stay informed 24/7 by visiting 511in.org or by downloading INDOT TrafficWise in the app store. Spring forward into safety! Buckle Up, Phone Down. Sincerely, Kendall Miller Transportation Services Call Center Indiana Department of Transportation 100 N Senate Avenue N758 Indianapolis, IN 46204
