Ped signal at Smith and Washington is triggering erroneously a couple times per minute. Not sure if the rain is causing this or what.

I often bike north on Jordan avenue to 3rd St., then turn left onto 3rd with the traffic light. Before the recent construction, the left turn signal appeared to be on a timer, and now it seems to be activated by a metal-sensitive loop in the pavement. But so far I have been unable to trigger the left turn signal with my bicycle. I have been instructed to ride exactly on the wire, and I ride a steel frame bike from 1970, so it should have plenty of metal to be detected. Is there some way to make sure this traffic light actuator is sensitive enough to work for bicyclists as well as for cars?
Cannot see 'red dot' of traffic signal at 3rd and Woodlawn. Difficult to cross street.
Wait/Walk signals at Atwater and Woodlawn are confusing. Unless someone happens to press the button before the light changes, the wait signal stays on the whole time. Foreign students get especially confused. The 3rd and Woodlawn wait/walk signals can also be confusing, but are not nearly as bad.
Caller from The Project School reported that the lights at the crosswalk at the intersection of Smith & Washington aren't working. The lights don't flash to allow pedestrians (their students) to cross. Thanks for looking into this.
Hi, I contacted the city last week about a stop sign on 2nd and Ballantine that is completely covered by a tree. It is a danger as it should be a 4 way stop, but people don't see it and will fly through it. Please get the tree trimmed so it doesn't cover up the stop sign. Thank you. Best, Ingrid

Double yellow on Jordan north of Atwater very heavily worn.
Dangerous Crossing of Third Street. Traffic on 3rd is going one-way west. Traffic on Henderson is going one-way north. Cars wishing to make a right on red often only look left (to spot oncoming traffic) and do not look right, where pedestrians are crossing with a little white man telling them it's safe to go. I have witnessed three very close calls where pedestrians trying to cross were almost hit by drivers making a right on red. The solution is to prohibit a right on red in this very heavily trafficked area. Please don't wait for someone to be actually hit to make this change. Thanks!
