Other: I have complained about this light for literally years. The light switches and stops Bloomfield road traffic when there is no cross traffic. It is not a result of Catalent traffic from the Sportsplex. When the light does switch it allows west bound traffic but also activates the left turn signal light with no one in the lane. This holds up the east bound traffic for the length of the light. In the morning the traffic was backed up so far west I couldn’t see the end of it. Last night(10/6) the traffic was backed up to Landmark (4 tens of a mile) while the light went through it’s broken cycle during rush hour. The last time I complained it took a month for the repair to happen and it lasted one week. Last year when I spoke to the technician who was working on it he said the sensors were broken. Why does a supposed green administration allow all of those cars to sit and idle and pollute while frustrating all of those commuters. Is it just city incompetence or a deliberate attempt to punish or influence west side residents on the matter of annexation. I’m going to copy this and post it on every city platform I can find every day until this is fixed. I’m going to put up realtor type signs to garner commuter support against this problem. Please fix it permanently

Mr. Morgan, I'm responding to your complaint about the traffic signal at Bloomfield Rd and Rolling Ridge Way. In no way is this signal designed to punish or influence anyone, however you're correct about one thing that this problem has been going on for quite sometime. It seems that every time we replace a bad vehicle detection puck another one fails over and over again and their still under warranty. We are now waiting for the replacements that we have sent in for repair and working closely with the company that supports this product. we are also looking in to a different form of vehicle detection that is more reliable. We're sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused.
Mike - please respond.
