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 . . .

Traffic lights on 4th at 4th/College seem mis-timed,
at least when I am driving east at 8:30 am. The College
Ave lights, in front of Serendipity/Atlas, are red for about 7
seconds before the 4th St light turns green. The
same light at 4th/Walnut turns at the expected time.
I'm seeing people sneak through 4th/College some
mornings because the one-way southbound College
Ave traffic is so clearly stopped to our left.

Since construction started on Winslow Rd. between Walnut St. Pike and S. Walnut St., westbound traffic on Winslow has been a mess due to the single westbound lane approaching the intersection with S. Walnut St. If there is a mix of cars going straight and cars turning left in the single westbound lane, only 2-3 cars make it through on each cycle of the traffic light. During this construction, westbound Winslow Rd. at Walnut St. should either be made "no left turn" or the traffic light cycle should be changed so that westbound traffic gets a period of simultaneous green light and green left turn arrow to allow traffic to clear.

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.

Now that the students are coming back, can the protected left turn signal going from Union St to Tenth be turned back on? Thanks.

Traffic signal at 17th and Fee Lane had turn signals until this summer, especially valuable for buses. Is this something that needs to be fixed or is it a permanent change?

North/South Fee Lane at 17th St. Left turn lanes on Fee do not trigger the turn signal.

Cars speed excessively along Huntington between Hillside and Miller, as there isn't any stop sign. I would request speed bumps or a stop sign half way.

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.
