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.
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.
Timing improvement college mall road/coventanter stop light - before 7am eastbound covenanter gets green light, then westbound even if no one is there, then there are turn arrows.....makes for a long light for stopped College Mall Road vehicles when traffic is very light at that time of day.
The traffic signal at Woodlawn and 3rd requires pedestrians to push the beg button to get the walk light to cross 3rd. Maybe that's reasonable on the west side of the intersection, but the walk light should come on automatically on the east side of the intersection, because there is no conflict with turning traffic. It is a particular issue because pedestrians coming from the north can't see what phase the lights for car traffic are in. This lack of information for pedestrians often causes some unsafe behavior that could be avoided if they could just rely on the walk signal that faces them to accurately convey whether they are in an east-west phase of the light cycle or a north-south phase.
I am interested in having a pedestrian walkway that will cross at the north end of our parking lot. This is the driveway that is directly across from Starbucks. The Excel Center is a school for adults and we have several that take the bus. We also have students in wheelchairs that are using the bus system. There isn't a safe way to get across the street directly from our driveway across from Starbucks to the bus stop. Is it possible to have someone come and look or can we discuss a safe way for our students to cross. Because we are an all day campus, we also have students that cross the street for lunch. Recently, the director and I went out to look to see how easy it is to get across to the bus stop and we had a very difficult time. Can this be looked into further or a pedestrian button to be pushed with flashing lights for crossing? Similar to the bike trail across busy roads have is what I am thinking.
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.
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.
