The green light was burnt out for northbound traffic on Walnut Street at Miller Drive. It's the light for Walnut traffic heading south to north. The green light on the right side (furthest east) of the set of lights was out just after 8pm this evening when I passed through.
Driving east on 2nd street. Cross over 37. The straight lane to continue east on 2nd where the turn is to take 37 north. The right side, south side, green light bulb appeared burnt out today around 5:45pm.
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 signal is flashing red in all directions.
Please have the city traffic software programmers review this signal's program. It is basically ignoring the street sensors for westbound traffic on 3rd.

For the signal at Woodcrest/Hillsdale and E 3rd St. - either the sensors or malfunctioning or the order of operations for the intersection signals are messed up: its hard to explain, but the biggest issue is that westbound traffic on 3rd is getting a shorter and delayed green, slowing down the already choked vein of access from the east side to IU and downtown.
Rodgers road needs school flashers to assist kids walking across safely to Clear Creek Christain School. It is unsafe due to the amount of cars that speed and do not see pedestrians trying to cross the road.
So I've talked to you guys before about this issue how you guys have the timing for the traffic lights set up and of course you know you guys basically said all their set correctly but here's the issue all over town and multiple times a day I have to travel various places in town for my job. And you guys have the signaling set up to where you come to a stop at one red light and it goes green and the very second you arrived the next stoplight doing the speed limit it turns red it's really bad on West 3rd Street but specifically the portion of town that I have to drive through half dozen times a day from Miller Street to 2nd Street you literally have to stop every single traffic light because you guys have set the traffic signaling to make you stop at the red light. Having lived a lot of different places this is something that's very unique to Bloomington you know I'm sure you're going to tell me that's the way it's supposed to be which in turn means that you just wanted to turn people from driving but it's straight bullshit on a busy road like that that northbound traffic or southbound traffic you guys have it set that way West 3rd Street you literally have people having to stop in the intersection because you guys want to play games!! Yeah it's funny because when I called the mayor's office they acknowledged that the timings were messed up but said they would defer to you people
This would be my fifth email to you guys and it would also be number six in the times that I've been almost hit rear-ended because people are trying to race through the lights over on West 3rd Street around Eastland plaza . Since you guys have decided to set the signaling for the lights so once one light goes green and you travel to the next light that's just invisible sight it turns red so you have to stop again but if you guys got out of the office come over here and you can actually see what a mess you're creating all over town it's like this. There's zero logic behind this I can understand the lights through downtown making you slow down but we're not downtown nor are the other lights throughout the city that you guys have set up like this I hope one of your cars get hit and then maybe you douchebags will come fix it
