The signal light at Third and Woodcrest always thinks there is a car turning left, even when both East and west traffic in the turn lane is empty

I often find that this light is red for traffic on 3rd street, with many cars stopped and waiting most times I cross this intersection. There is much more traffic on 3rd street than Woodscrest and Hillsdale. It has often led me to believe that the light might be mistimed, biassed towards the traffic crossing 3rd street. I am not at all sure that it is indeed mistimed, but it seems like it, and might be worth checking if there is a way to assess that issue. (I don't know how street light timing is optimized) Thanks for considering! Sincerely, Andrew Goldman
The pedestrian crossing buttons at all four corners of East Third Street and Hillsdale/Woodscrest aren't working. Pedestrians never get a walk signal. In addition, the traffic light stays green for Third Street car traffic until a vehicle pulls up on Hillsdale or Woodscrest to wait at the light (meaning pedestrians often must try to cross when there are drivers turning left across the crosswalk).
Streetlight is blinking as if it has a bad sensor, failing bulb, or intermittent open circuit. Noticed during evening walk. Not urgent. Corner of Hillsdale and Seventh (south east side of this intersection). Thanks.
Pedestrian cross-walk buttons on west side of intersection at East Third and Hillsdale/Woodscrest (northwest and southwest corners) don't work.
Trash has not been disposed of for over two months, and is piling up. There is also trash in the utilities easement.
Grass is about a foot tall and the trees on the east side of the property need trimming as you no longer can walk on the sidewalk as the branches hit you in the face.
Tree on the east side over the sidewalk needs trimming as it hits one in the head when walking on the sidewalk.
There is a large pothole in the west bound bike lane near the right side entrance to the Christian Science Church parking lot.
The traffic signal at Bryan St at the intersection with 3rd and High Streets is not working properly. It does not cycle to green in sequence with the other streets unless the front car pulls forward into the crosswalk. This creates an unsafe situation for both pedestrians and drivers. Please fix the light so that it cycles properly with the signals for the other streets. Thank you.
