The traffic light doesn't work correctly. The turn signals come on every time, even when cars aren't in the turn lane.

the walkway/lights are not timed right. A walker gets the hand stop sign and then the light changes too quickly for them to exit the intersection.
Traffic light has gotten extremely short,12 to 15 seconds of green.Have seen southbound traffic backed up as far as the visitors center.3 to 5 cars get thru per cycle. Light may have gotten set improperly after IU game. Never seen it this short!
Street light on during the day on southwest side of intersection.
New street lamp on SE corner of 12th/Lincoln is WAY too bright, much brighter and whiter than the normal orange-ish lamps on other street light fixtures in the neighborhood. This one emits a lot of glare, blinding drivers as they attempt to navigate 12th Street, and causing pain if one happens to look directly at it. Worse, it casts light far beyond the actual intersection, flooding the houses in the vicinity with unwanted light all night long, preventing people from enjoying their porches in the evenings and early mornings. If the City refuses to switch the light to a normal soft light that can be tolerated, it seems reasonable that the light can at the very least be shaded so that the intense glare is only directed downward rather than flooding the neighbors' homes in all directions with unnatural, unhealthy, and offensive light. A similar lamp was recently installed at the 12th/Dunn intersection. The people who live near that intersection are probably experiencing a similar, unwelcome annoyance.
See #188316. Same issue with too-bright street lamp now at 12th/Washington. Please be mindful of property boundaries when it comes to illumination and not cast light on houses, etc. Also, with the bright lights up it makes it all the more convenient for dragsters to drive extremely fast down 12th Street at night. If the City's intention is ostensibly to make the street safer, why not install stop signs somewhere, such as at Lincoln and/or Grant? The frequency of vehicles that taking advantage of the lack of any speed controls (signs, etc.) and that drive 40-50mph down the street during the evenings, night, and early mornings is angering.
