What time in the morning will the (5 MONTHS!) work begin on Tapp for the signal being installed at Deborah? That's SUCH a major thoroughway east and west for people going to school and work that it will be really discourteous if traffic is hindered before 8:30 a.m.
Recently, I've noticed something odd with the timing of the traffic lights, to the point that it almost seems like the city's purposely changed them, I'm not good number of flights around town as soon as one turns green and you start the next one will purposely turn red before you even get to it and this is many many of the lights around town day and night so you literally have to stop at every light, honestly this was done on purpose?
I sent this message on March 14. I did not include my email or other contact information. Can you tell me if this will be changed? I noticed it was closed and again we are all waiting for the light to change with no traffic coming and only 2-3 of us can get through before it turns yellow. Traffic light on Atwater and Indiana very long on the Indiana side almost two minutes. On Atwater going towards the east side the light stays green for a long time. Once the light on Indiana changes only about 3 cars can go before it turns red again.
Please check timing of lights. WB 17th gets backed up and NB Walnut ends up having problems. meanwhile SB College is clear of all cars. Please extend green for WB 17th.
Hey Neil, Thanks a lot! It's heartwarming that you're looking into it, aging equipment not withstanding. Re: Kirkwood/Walnut...if you're in front of the Book Corner, or across from it in front of the Courthouse trying to get to the Book Corner corner, and it's you've just this second gotten the green pedestrian sign, you will not make it across during the green hand (or whatever the symbol is). Never. I'm really healthy and I can't get across before the pedestrian sign changes and opens up the car traffic. Turning cars are not inclined to watch pedestrians, they're distracted by oncoming traffic and timing their own turns. Thus, squashed pedestrian. Kind of you to take an interest, Neil. Happy New Year! Lisa Horwitz (IT wouldn't let me simply reply to your email. Did you know that?)
RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.
