Can the speed limit be reduced near the entrance of Switchyard Park on S. Rogers Street? This is an entrance to the city's largest park and there will be a pedestrian crossing built that will also cross S. Rogers Street, to the park entrance. Currently, the speed is 30 mph, which will be too fast for a pedestrian crossing and the current busy park entrance. Per City Ordinance 18-09, the speed is reduced on Winslow Rd around Allendale Dr. to accommodate for the pedestrian crossing that is near a city park. Other examples of reduced speed near park entrances includes (but not limited to): S. Highland Ave near Winslow Sports Complex and E. Morningside Dr. near Park Ridge East Park.
The left turn signal on eastbound Winslow to turn north into Walnut is way too short. It's allowing 2-3 vehicles maximum per green arrow. It took 3 light cycles for me to get through. This arrow used to be longer before the detour on Rogers. Classic City of Bloomington government to push all of Rogers traffic into this turn lane as the detour and not get the lights working with the increase in traffic flow. Go check it out please! Thanks.
Is there a possibility to get a few street lights on Palmer and Wilson? It is so dark and a little scary at times. Thank you.
There is overgrown grass and 3 non-running cars in the yard and next door at 2609 Kendall Dr the house had burnt through the roof over the winter, no repairs have been made and there is large construction equipment blocking.
The bush near the sidewalk in Bryan Park near the intersection of Henderson and Davis is taking over the sidewalk. There’s a tree growing in the bush which grows faster than the bush. Both are taking over. I’ve trimmed this myself 3 times in the past year so that pedestrians and bikes can stay on the sidewalk. Can you trim, or better replace the bush with a nice shade tree that would enhance the park. Thanks, Jon Lawrence
Right here on the trail parallel to Sare Rd is always flooded because there’s a drain going down to the creek. Can someone please come put a drain underneath it so the trail isn’t always flooded and muddy? It’s a safety hazard since it’s constantly very slippery.
The condition of the main roads within the city are the worst I’ve ever seen in the years I’ve lived here. Should we have to be still dodging potholes in mid May? I’d like to know what the road improvement schedule is for the city this year please. Can you send me that ? ALSO ….. Can you explain why funds were prioritized to fully pave AND install TONS of speed bumps recently in these areas : E Arden Dr, E Windsor Dr, E Wilton Dr, S Oxford Dr, E Thornton Dr, S Maxwell St, S Highland Ave, S Covey Ln OVER taking care of our heavily traveled roads like High Street and many others? I look forward to your response. Thank you. Brenda Renneisen
Is parking allowed on E. Maxwell, between the 1400 block and High Street. There are two "No Parking" signs, one at the corner of High St and Maxwell; and the 1500 block has only zone parking. I'm asking because when cars are parked on Maxwell in the area without signage, the street becomes very narrow. I do not believe on street parking is allow between the 1400 block and approximately the 1900 block. Just asking for clarification. Thank you. V/r, Mark
No traffic markings on freshly paved asphalt at this intersection. Saw car southbound on Henderson completely "blow through" the stop sign. Please put temporary markings, if not permanent.
