Street Lights

There is a series of about eight decorative street lights (green metal, antique style) in the ROW that stretch from 411 N. Lincoln to 523 N. Lincoln along the west side of the street. They are similar to ones down near the Grant Street Inn. Several of them have been broken off near the base and all but one of them (the one in front of 411) are burned out. If they are not being used, maybe they should be removed because it's a pain to mow around them.

Not sure if this is a City light or not because it's not at a main intersection, but it looks like one. Whatever the case, it's burned out. It's the one on the SW corner of the intersection of the west alley (there are two alleys in this block) and Cottage Grove.

People treat this traffic light as an optional stop sign. Even if the light is solid red (not blinking), if cars have seen a pedestrian finish the crossing or don't observe a pedestrian they continue through this red light. BPD could set up in the switchyard parking lot and rake in $ from all of the traffic violations here. More enforcement and maybe making the light always green (unless a pedestrian is crossing) would force car traffic to better respect this light. No one takes it seriously as is and I have seen multiple bikers/skaters/walkers almost get hit as they make the cross when the crosswalk is still clearly lit up.
