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).
Left turn arrow for both Ebound & Wbound activates when no cars are in turn lanes. Everyone stationary for 20-30 seconds.
