When turning left off of Basswood Drive, if you are not there BEFORE the light turns green for anyone going straight/right at the same intersection, your left turn light stays red until the next cycle. It is so unnecessary and should be a yellow caution arrow like literally every other street light in existence.
Green bulb is out on the North side of the intersection
On both sides of Basswood Drive, the sidewalks are badly cracked and/or buckled. This is a major tripping hazard. Also, on Basswood Drive, the road for cars has bumps and cracks. Then, there is always trash strewn all along the road.
Bike rack has been broken at this location for months. It just needs remastered to the concrete.
this light appears to be mis-timed or not functioning properly to allow normal flow of traffic. I drive this intersection multiple times per day and it consistently stops E/W traffic when there is no traffic on N/S side, no pedestrian pushing the walk button. this causes E/W traffic to back up.
There is a large pothole on westbound Bloomfield just west of intersection with Rolling Ridge Way.
I have complained about this light for literally years. The light switches and stops Bloomfield road traffic when there is no cross traffic. It is not a result of Catalent traffic from the Sportsplex. When the light does switch it allows west bound traffic but also activates the left turn signal light with no one in the lane. This holds up the east bound traffic for the length of the light. In the morning the traffic was backed up so far west I couldn’t see the end of it. Last night(10/6) the traffic was backed up to Landmark (4 tens of a mile) while the light went through it’s broken cycle during rush hour. The last time I complained it took a month for the repair to happen and it lasted one week. Last year when I spoke to the technician who was working on it he said the sensors were broken. Why does a supposed green administration allow all of those cars to sit and idle and pollute while frustrating all of those commuters. Is it just city incompetence or a deliberate attempt to punish or influence west side residents on the matter of annexation. I’m going to copy this and post it on every city platform I can find every day until this is fixed. I’m going to put up realtor type signs to garner commuter support against this problem. Please fix it permanently
The traffic light at 1200 S Rolling Way and Bloomfield sometimes takes upwards of 10 minutes to cycle to allow left turning traffic from the apartment complexes.
The traffic light at Bloomfield Rd (2nd Street) & Rolling Ridge Way is a problem during normal commuting hours (7:30am-8:30am & 4:30pm-5:30pm). In the morning, traffic comes to a crawl and is backed up from this intersection all the way to the exits of Highway 69, often blocking the Highway exits. The short trip between the Highway exits and this intersection would normally take less than 1 minute. During the morning commute hours, it takes 5+ minutes. A similar situation occurs in the evening. Westbound traffic comes to a crawl and is commonly backed up from this intersection to S Patterson Drive, or sometimes even farther. This traffic light is certainly the cause. After passing this light, the congestion is no where to be seen and traffic flows normally. My suggestion would be to alter the programming of this light, during these specific hours, to be much more heavily biased toward East-West traffic. Perhaps it could stay green for East-West traffic for 50% longer than standard, or similar.
