Stop light at 6th St and N Walnut is out.
The street lights on the West side of the parking garage are way too bright and low to the ground. The patrons at the Backdoor and the Blockhouse bars use that alley to socialize ( There is never any automobile traffic in the alley). The worst light is the one that shines directly into the entrance to the Blockhouse ( Its where everyone gathers outside and between shows). The light is blinding and shining directly into the faces of the patrons. Please: 1) get rid of the light(s) or move the to a higher location. 2) physically block the lights so that they will not shine straight out 3) replace the bulbs with something less bright and with a warmer "color temperature" ( 2700k). Or do a combination of these things. Thanks.
The light for traffic going west on Kirkwood onto Adams only stays green for about 15 seconds. 4 or 5 cars make it through and then we wait for an extended time traffic on Adams going north and south to get an extra long time to make their light. It takes 3 lights sometime before I get through a light when I'm at the top of Rose Hill.
Signal for west bound traffic on W.Kirwood and Adams St is too short. I'm tempted to get out of my car while at the light and hit the pedestrian crosswalk button just so it stays green longer. Might try it next time. Starting to feel like a better solution than using uReport.
Turn signal is too short. We are just asking for 10 more seconds for traffic westbound on Kirkwood turning onto Adams. 10 seconds more.
Green light bulb is out eastbound left turn lane on 17th and Fee
Heading east on 17th st, turning north into Fee lane, the left turn light is never activated. There is usually heavy westbound traffic when I'm attempting a left at this light and it can be difficult to fit in a turn with unending oncoming traffic.
Light for Cory lane traffic to turn east or west last 30 seconds! Why do two cars need 30 seconds while the 30 cars trying to go east and west get stopped so frequently? This is a nightmare in the morning. No cars even on Cory Lane and I'm stopping at a red light for no cars! It's been like this since W 3rd was paved. How long will it take to fix this one?
Turning left at this intersection is very difficult. At 7:30 A.M. I had to wait for 3 minutes at this light and at 5 P.M. I had to wait for 5 minutes and I was beginning to back up into the intersection behind it. The light isn’t green for long enough probably only about 30 seconds. There is also a sign that says left turn yields on flashing yellow but the light never turns flashing yellow. If the green arrow light was longer and it became flashing yellow when appropriate this would likely solve the problem.
I'm not sure who's responsible for this bank of lights on a high pole near the railroad underpass on East 10th St. Could it be shielded so that it lights whatever needs to be lit without being such an eyesore? It's very glaring, and the bulbs face outward (sideways) rather than downward.
