The light at Walnut and Kirkwood is mistimed for northbound traffic on Walnut. Instead of waiting at one light and then getting green lights for the rest of the lights on Walnut, traffic has to stop at Kirkwood and again at 6th Street.
The 'do not walk' light on the southeast corner of 7th and Walnut is burned out.
The traffic lights for eastbound traffic on 7th St between College Ave and Walnut Street are out-of-sync. Traffic is being held at both lights which does not allow traffic to clear both intersections.
White pedestrian walk light is out on the north east corner of 7th and college.
Traffic light out of sync
The Audio Pedestrian Signals at this intersection aren't working. I got this complain from someone who is blind who said "When crossing from the west moving east across walnut, it’s a bit dangerous because as a blind person, I am listening for my parallel traffic to move when that traffic signal activates the traffic to move, and especially on that left hand turn onto Walnut, the pedestrian signal is not activated as the parallel traffic is… The pedestrian signal seems to be delayed… That’s dangerous, especially if the audible signal is not working or loud enough to be heard… When I hear that parallel traffic move I take that as my signal to cross the street…" We checked them out and we don't hear audio, except a weak "wait" at the southwest corner.
Left turn arrow for 7th onto college does not work. Waited two green light cycles and never got a green arrow.
The traffic light at 7th and College isn’t giving westbound traffic the green arrow, and now that that intersection is “turn on green arrow only” cars are stacking up in the left turn lane with no chance to go. This evening I sat through 3 light cycles and never got the green arrow, despite the fact that there were 3-4 cars behind me. This is especially problematic at the moment because 7th is closed at Morton St, so 95% of westbound traffic on 7th needs to turn left onto College. Could this be fixed, and the resulting green arrow made long enough for 3-4 cars to get through before it turns red? Thanks!
The street light is out and is in flash.
