closed: Resolved #179232

Street Lights:

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

Terry, Yes, you are correct that this particular light has had challenges for the last few years. Prior to the 2019 repaving we were experiencing issues with the underground connections of the detection system. After the repaving, we had that issue fixed and then we began experiencing regular issues with the actual detection pucks. We had then in 2021 placed and order for an upgraded camera detection system that was backordered from all vendors due to supply issues. We have just last week received this equipment and have it scheduled for installation (as with three other problematic intersections). The issues have continually been assessed and addressed when possible over the last few years, and it is not the result of lack of effort. Thanks for you patience and understanding, Adam Wason DPW Director
