left turn signal needs new detection, crews will replace signal timing favors progression on 3rd/Atwater (higher volumes) citizen emailed with short summary
Other: Hello, The stop lights at the intersections of Jordan and Atwater, and the intersection at 3rd and Jordan, are not synced. As a result, people driving to and from campus get hit by both stop lights. They used to be synced up with one another so drivers would make both lights if they were traveling east or if they were traveling west. Now, no matter what, you'll have to stop at one of them. Also, the green turn arrow light always comes on at the intersection of Jordan and 3rd, even if there is no traffic. This creates weird delays for people trying to leave campus. I know these complaints of mine are trivial, I'm not sure how much it would take to re-sync the stop lights. But I've worked on campus for years and it was perfect - now this happens and hundreds of people have to stop for 2 separate stop lights 4 or 5 times a day when it used to be zero stops.

Hi Ross, thank you for submitting this uReport regarding the signal timing on Jordan. We have been in the process of updating signal timing citywide. I checked in with our consultant regarding your concern. In short, the signal timing at the Jordan signals is set up to maintain progression of the higher traffic volumes on the 3rd and Atwater corridors instead of on Jordan. The green turn arrow constantly coming up at 3rd-Jordan is an error. We discovered that the vehicle detection is malfunctioning and causing that phase to come up whether or not there is anyone trying to turn. Thank you for pointing that out and we'll work to correct it (not sure on a timeframe, I wouldn't expect it to happen during the winter). Thanks again and please feel free to let me know if you have further questions,
