Slow Down! Reducing Downtown Bloomington's Progression Speed
Track Title

Event Description/Abstract
A stated goal of the Citywide Retiming Project was to reduce the progression speed along the College Avenue and Walnut Street one-way pair through downtown Bloomington while improving signal coordination, increasing greenband, and providing clearance interval compliance. Pedestrian and bicycle safety was also taken into consideration. While it’s the same small town, this project has resulted in fewer stops, lower progression speed, and less driver frustration. This presentation details the before-and-after study, including the benefit-cost analysis.
