citizen emailed explaining new progression speed

Hi Shelley, Thanks for submitting this uReport regarding the signal timing on College. We're currently in the process of updating the signal timing citywide. College and Walnut were the first corridors to receive new timings and were receiving updates throughout the past week. One of the changes you may notice on both College and Walnut is that the signals are now timed so that vehicles traveling through the downtown area should be able to progress through a series of green lights if traveling at speeds of 20mph to 25mph. Ideally vehicles can progress down the entire corridor with minimal if any stops, but we also want to keep speeds relatively low the downtown area (due to higher pedestrian activity, parking maneuvers, etc.). Please let me know if you would like to discuss further or have different observations while trying to travel these corridors at the lower speeds and I will pass along your comments to the engineering consultants designing and implementing the new signal timings. Thanks, - Neil
