The new pedestrian crossing light on SR45/10th street east near Tamarron and University Elementary School is malfunctioning. It seems to be triggering itself ever 30 seconds or so in the morning at least. This is causing a long line of cars to backup and block Russell Road. I've included a Google traffic view so you can see the problem.

I wanted to bring something to your attention. The new light at Rockport & Tapp is nice, but was not the most cyclist friendly yesterday (Sunday, 11/25/2018) morning. I came in and out of town on a group ride via Rockport. We were only four cyclists, so not a big group.
In both directions, the light took quite a while to turn for us (with no other traffic around). Then, once we got the green light, it already turned yellow before we were 1/3 of the way (or maybe 1/2 way) into the intersection. A very short light. As a group, we basically communicated, "Green, let's go - hurry up, yellow already!"
My concern is a cyclist trying to get through that light, and it turns green for east/west traffic on Tapp before the cyclist can even clear half of the intersection. (Which, with the heavy fog yesterday and the crest of a hill to the west on Tapp, we were concerned).
I told my mother about the timing of the light and she said on Saturday she was the third car at a red light on Rockport and the light turned yellow before she could get through the intersection.
Maybe the City is still fine tuning things . . .

Left the Highlands neighborhood this morning out Rockport around 7:35. There were maybe 8-10 cars in front of me the Rockport/Tapp intersection, took me 5 lights to get through it. Somebody needs to monitor the traffic adjust the light or something. 1-3 (barely) cars can get through each time, depending on who is turning left onto Tapp, which were about 1/3 of the cars. This is prime school time and it took me longer to get through this intersection than inching through traffic on Gordon AND on Rogers, and a lot of people still don't even know this is open so I only imagine this getting worse. The light in the other directions lasted much longer and there was less traffic. Please do something about this soon.
Thank you.

Now that students are back and traffic has increased, may I request that the left turn signal going south on Fee Lane at 17th St. be turned back on? Thank you.

Crossing 11th under the train bridge is dangerous. Vehicles cannot see the pedestrian crossing on the other side of the bridge. We should have flashing pedestrian lights that a pedestrian can activate when crossing 11th on either side of the bridge. Lights similar to 4th and Rodgers would be perfect.

The current congestion on W Bloomfield Rd., west of Highway 37, seems to be caused in part by the timing of traffic signal here (the intersection of W. Bloomfield Rd., S. Basswood Dr., and S. Oakdale Dr.), Almost all the traffic here is east-west on Bloomfield Rd. There is very little traffic on Basswood Dr. or Oakdale Dr. But the but the traffic signal stays green for a very long time for the south traffic on Basswood Dr. and the north traffic on Oakdale Dr. I think the congestion of Bloomfield Rd. would be alleviated somewhat if the traffic signal at this intersection were reset so that it stayed green longer for the ease-west Bloomfield Rd. traffic. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

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.

Backed up West bound traffic on Bloomfield Road is made a bit worse with the lights here off sensor during construction. The timing is providing more time than needed for cross traffic and turn lane, should be set much longer for E-W Bloomfield. The light further east at Twin Lakes has very sensitive sensor for cross traffic, also adding to the backup, could let the cross traffic wait longer and reset if they escape with a right turn on red to keep the E-W flow going if it can.

The intersection of 2nd and Landmark is heavily trafficked and is difficult to cross as a pedestrian. I would love to see a crosswalk added here provide continuity of the sidewalk on the north side of the street.

Traffic light at 17th and Woodlawn seems unreasonably timed. Attempting to go north or south on Woodlawn or make the left turn from Woodlawn to 17th has resulted in 2 minute or longer waits by drivers.
