This week the signal for northbound Woodscrest has changed. Previously the light changed only when cars were present on Woodscrest. This week it has been activated on a schedule. Just after 7:30 each morning this week, I have had red light going east on Third at Woodscrest when no cars were on that street. The light stays red longer and for no reason, then the Hillsdale signal may be activated by traffic. Is this the new way the intersection should work? Why was it changed? It doesn't seem efficient for those traveling west on Third, and no one is affected on Woodscrest. Thank you for your consideration.

I would like to request that a turn signal be added to the traffic lights at the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection for drivers on 3rd Street coming from the East who wish to turn South onto Woodscrest. There is already a turn signal on Woodscrest for drivers who are driving North and turn West onto 3rd Street, and that turn signal is extremely helpful. However, there is no turn signal on 3rd Street for people who wish to turn left onto Woodscrest after coming from the East, and as a result, the turn is very difficult and often even unsafe to make. Often times, drivers never have a chance to make a left turn while the light is green due to the often high traffic on 3rd street, and so the drivers are able to turn only when the light turns yellow. Adding a turn signal there would undoubtedly increase the safety for everyone at that intersection. Many of the other intersections on 3rd Street have traffic lights with left turn signals, even for both the East and West directions, and I don't think that the 3rd Street and Woodscrest intersection should continue to lack a turn signal for drivers turning left onto Woodscrest. Thank you.

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).

Not really an issue per say. More a general question. For people walking down third street is there any way for them speed up the light change when there is no cross traffic coming? I normally try to give it two minutes to change? I've noticed it doesn't change automatically unless there is physical cross traffic sitting at the light. Some nights I have enough time to truly wait other nights when running late waiting there is far to much time in my own opinion. If there isn't that's cool. As I said I'm just curious. Thank-you for your time :)

Large pin oak tree has large horizontal limbs that are dead and overhangs a big traffic light and sidewalk. This poses a danger to the traffic light, to cars in the intersection, and to pedestrians on the sidewalk. Please remove these dead limbs as soon as possible. Thank you.

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.

Please have the city traffic software programmers review this signal's program. It is basically ignoring the street sensors for westbound traffic on 3rd.
