The lights at Henderson and Atwater, and then at Henderson/Indiana at 3rd, are very poorly timed in the morning. The first car through at Henderson-Atwater when the light turns green *might* make it through the green light at Indiana-3rd, but no one else will unless they go way over the speed limit, causing a hazard (which they do). This also causes unnecessary backup and delays on this major road leading toward IU. Meanwhile, traffice on Atwater (especially) and 3rd is very light, both having a very long green with few cars going through. This light timing was bad last year, seemed to have been changed for the better, and now appears to have been changed back.

The traffic light at the intersection of 3rd St. and Hillsdale is currently on a timed cycle that doesn't seem to change at any point during the day. It would be better if there were sensors or something, because I find myself stopping and waiting the entire light cycle sometimes, with no sign of anyone coming from the other street, and that's a waste of time and fuel. So if that ought could give more default preference to the traffic on 3rd St., that would be awesome.

About 5:10 pm today (5 March) I stopped at the signal at Moore's Pike and College Mall Rd. I was waiting to make a westbound thru movement toward Hillside Ave. After two cycles wherein every other movement (including WB to SB) got a green, I still had not gotten the green light for a WB thru. Traffic had backed up the hill, out of sight, so I made a right turn when safe to do so, and took an alternate route home.

Signal at intersection of N old SR 37 and N Walnut, which is part of the Cascades bike&ped path, does not ever give a 'walk' signal, even if the button is depressed. It just says out loud 'wait' and then doesn't ever show white/walk. The city's transportation plan says peds are the highest priority out of all transportation users, so consider making it good. The light should be in pedestrian recall mode, so that there is a 'walk' every phase whether someone touches the button or not. The default 'walk' should be long enough to cross that leg of the intersection. When the button is pressed, it should be the highest signal priority and car traffic should see an instantaneous yellow light, and then a red light should be displayed in both directions (all cars stop!) for long enough to cross both crossings (~150ft, so at *least* 60 seconds). There must be a 'no turn on red' for cars northbound on Walnut turning to east, because visibility there is poor. There should be a 'no turn on red' for cars westbound on old 37.

The audio indicators for blind people are not working on this intersection. A person who is blind tells me she has submitted this before and they fixed it, but it has gone out more than once and she's frustrated.

Walnut southbound left turn arrow onto Grimes east cycles green every time and there's rarely a car turning left. Plus the northbound left turn arrow for Grimes/Patterson doesn't stay green long enough causing traffic to back up almost to Hillside at times.

Cross walk signals for those walking never changes from red "stop - don't walk" light, even after pushing the button requesting a cross.
