The traffic signals are not in proper progression, wasting energy.
The traffic signals are not in proper progression, wasting energy.
Walnut southbound left turn arrow onto Grimes east cycles green every time and there's rarely a car turning left. Plus the northbound left turn arrow for Grimes/Patterson doesn't stay green long enough causing traffic to back up almost to Hillside at times.
Left turn arrow for South Walnut onto East Grimes goes green every cycle regardless of whether or not a car is in the turn lane.
With the New Year and new mayor, hoping this traffic signal that has been malfunctioning for over four years, is slated to be repaired in 2024. Last I heard, it was a 2022 project. It continues to always cycle a left turn arrow for West Grimes regardless if there are any cars waiting to turn.
The crosswalk “person” symbol does not display at the corner of 4th & Walnut.
One of my constituents is wondering why there are not more 25 MPH speed limit signs on Grant St. between Grimes and Hillside. Are you still in process of putting these up? Also, there need to be more on Washington and Lincoln along the same stretch, she says.
A crosswalk with lights was put in on Henderson (near Brenda Lane & Templeton Elem School) some time ago, but the lights on the sign are too subtle for motorists to notice. At least once per week I have to put my arm out into the crosswalk to get a motorists attention to stop. The signs are around 10 feet off the ground--well above the eye level of motorists; and the lights on the vertices of the pentagonal sign are tiny and give off insufficient light. You need lights that are impossible to miss and at eye level. The city has lights just like this on Washington at E Smith Ave (beside the Allison-Jukebox Center). They are at eye level and you can see them from three blocks away.
