To evaluate and consider with upcoming intersection modernization project.
Other: I would like to request that a turn signal be added to the traffic lights at the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection for drivers on 3rd Street coming from the East who wish to turn South onto Woodscrest. There is already a turn signal on Woodscrest for drivers who are driving North and turn West onto 3rd Street, and that turn signal is extremely helpful. However, there is no turn signal on 3rd Street for people who wish to turn left onto Woodscrest after coming from the East, and as a result, the turn is very difficult and often even unsafe to make. Often times, drivers never have a chance to make a left turn while the light is green due to the often high traffic on 3rd street, and so the drivers are able to turn only when the light turns yellow. Adding a turn signal there would undoubtedly increase the safety for everyone at that intersection. Many of the other intersections on 3rd Street have traffic lights with left turn signals, even for both the East and West directions, and I don't think that the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection should continue to lack a turn signal for drivers turning left onto Woodscrest. Thank you.

Received a similar request from Bloomington Transit just over a week ago. Provided the following response: Mr. Levesque, Thank you for submitting your traffic suggestion regarding the traffic signal at the intersection of 3rd Street and Woodscrest. I'm happy to report that the City has an upcoming project to update this intersection with design starting in the next few months and construction planned and budgeted for 2017. Your suggestion is duly noted and something we will seriously consider and evaluate once the design process starts. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or comments.
