Green arrow for right turn going from westbound 3rd st. to north bound bypass when left turn for southbound bypass to eastbound 3rd st. is out.

The pedestrian crosswalk buttons are not working properly at the intersection of 10th & Jordan this morning. In particular, the westbound crossing button on the southeast corner did not activate the pedestrian crossing light through several cycles at approx. 9:10am. I didn't confirm, but it looked like other buttons/directions were having similar problems. Was working fine yesterday.
None of the pedestrian crossing buttons have been working at the intersection of 10th and Jordan today. There is no way to activate the pedestrian signals.
the traffic light at the 45/46 bypass and walnut street is malfunctioning. It only stays green for about 13 seconds for the east and west traffic on 46 and is causing large backups in the morning and afternoon. This seems to happen after the football games. Please take care of this issue and let traffic flow. It is to the point where the light at kinser pike turns green but there is no where to go because this light is backed up so badly.
10th and Jordan intersection: Westbound pedestrian crossing button on SE corner and northbound crossing button on SW corner are not working - red light above button remains on and walk signal is not activated. Problem has been happening for at least a week or so.
We were traveling east on 10th St. this evening, approaching the bypass on the east side. While waiting for the red light to change to green, the train gate on the bypass lowered and a train approached also from the east. When a train is crossing the bypass, the light rightly does not allow traffic through from the north, as it would soon have nowhere to go. This is good. BUT it also did not allow our lane to travel through the intersection going east! I know there is no separate right-turn signal there to stop people from turning south onto the bypass, but it is not logical to stop all traffic going east as well. And besides, the light DOES allow westbound traffic on 10th Street to BOTH continue west AND turn south onto the bypass -- even though there is a separate signal there for the south-turn lane -- and those cars then are stopped by the crossing gate. This is really illogical, and should be remedied.
At SR46 and 10th St. While a train is crossing SR46 I saw two disfunctional aspects of the signaling. 1) The pedestrian crossing requests are totally ignored while the train is crossing SR46. Pedestrian signals stayed red until the train had finished crossing SR46. 2) Eastbound 10th never was given a green signal while the train was crossing SR46. There is no reason that this direction should be kept from crossing and several cars ended up crossing against a red light during the green signal for westbound 10th.
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.
I was facing East on Indiana 45 and turning left (North) onto Kinser Pike. I didn't make the green left turn arrow and ended up in the middle of the intersection waiting to make an unprotected left. My light turned red but oncoming traffic still had a green, the oncoming turn lane got a green arrow. I was unable to clear the intersection, was unable to back up with cars behind me, and was blocking traffic from Kinser Pike when they got a green light. This is dangerous, I had assumed that oncoming traffic also had a red and would stop (as it had been for years), I was starting to clear the intersection by making the left when I realized oncoming cars weren't stopping. A turn lane where unprotected turns are allowed should not get a red while oncoming traffic still has a green.
Signal gives a green left turn arrow to east bound traffic on East 3rd for a left turn onto Hillsdale every cycle even without cars in the turn lane.
