Background• Save Our Neighborhood (SON) is interested in generating win-win propositions
for not only the Poplar Bridge neighborhood but the City of Bloomington as a whole.
• Our concerns arise as the result of the past trials of turn restrictions. We believe the current proposed turn restrictions do not go far enough to mitigate traffic for the entire Poplar Bridge Neighborhood.
• All of the following ideas have been utilized successfully in and around Bloomington as well as a number of other Metropolitan suburban neighborhoods and in the City of Minneapolis.
• We agree that there is no one magic solution, SON believes that the magic is in finding the right combination of smart changes.
• SON believes that leveraging and fine tuning the existing infrastructure and resources are the most prudent place to start.
Background

Proposed SolutionStrategy or Element Rationale Improvement Theory
Traffic Light Timing Better traffic flow during rush hours.
If we make travel easier and more efficient on roads built for higher
volume, we will reduce the desire to use neighborhood roads.
Stop Signs Increase travel times through neighborhood
If we make travel time longer and less efficient on smaller
neighborhood roads, those roads will see a reduction in traffic volume during rush hours.
Crosswalk Treatments
Visible reminder to neighborhood element. Increase awareness of
pedestrian presence.
Speed Humps/Speed Tables
Decrease volume and speed on parkway
Re-stripe Nine Mile Creek
Decrease volume and speed on parkway
No Thru Truck Traffic Decrease volume and speed on parkway
Reduce speed limit on Nine Mile Creek
and implement speed indicator signs
Decrease traffic speed through neighborhood. Reminder of
enforcement and driver speed awareness
