Traffic Suggestions
120 East Smith Avenue
- Case Date:
- 4/2/2015
The City has done a great job getting the traffic lights between 1st street onward north on Walnut Street timed so that driven at the speed limit, one can easily drive on Walnut without hitting any red lights. This greatly decreases traffic, improves commute time, and increases gas mileage. It's a pleasure to drive through these timed lights.. except...
The new light at Walnut and Smith is not incorporated with the other timed lights. It's a good light for the parents who are dropping their children off at the Project School, and I understand the need for it, but it appears that light is triggered by a vehicle waiting on Smith Ave, and the trigger occurs very quickly once a vehicle stops there to wait. I'm sure this is fine during school hours, as not many vehicles use that light, but during the morning traffic flow, many parents use that light, and that signal interrupts the flow of traffic on Walnut.
This could be fixed by eliminating the trigger based on a waiting vehicle on Smith, and incorporating that light with the other timed lights. This traffic pattern works well for all of the other cross streets, I don't see why it would be an inconvenience for anyone waiting at the light on Smith.
Thank you!
Biking & Walking

I'm very concerned about the new surfacing on E. 3rd by the State, but I know the City supported it. I know there was not going to be a physical barrier at this point but did think the bike lanes would at least by wide. Please please make sure they are wider than the ones on N. Smith or very very few will feel safe using them. I supported the project as thought it would give me a biking option, but I'm fearful now it'll just be slimmer roads and no real bikable upgrade. Thanks for any input you can give the State!

Traffic on Bloomfield Road (2nd Street) is backed up for about a mile heading out of town (traffic backed up past Landmark) & a half-mile coming in to town (backed up to 37), all waiting on the light at the Sportsplex/apartment complex The traffic light is only giving people on Bloomfield road about 5-10 seconds to get through the light, while the green light for people exiting the Sportsplex lasts about 30-40 seconds - but there's nobody going in or out of the Sportsplex! Could somebody PLEASE take a look at the program/timing of this traffic light?

The new traffic light's timing is too short for traffic traveling east/west on Bloomfield Road. At best it stays green for 20 seconds before switching to red to let 1 or two cars from the Sportsplex/Millennium Apartment's go. Traffic westbound is worse than it was before the installation of the light, somehow.
