Hello, The traffic light at 17th and Fee does not generate a protected left turn arrow for northbound traffic on Fee Lane to turn left onto 17th street. Tonight one of our buses has waited through 5 light cycles and still hasn't been able to make it. I know it has been an option for that light in the past, and it has the two rows of lights to accommodate it. Could we please have the left turn arrow back?
We own a business at 14th and Walnut and often see horrible accidents at the corner of 14th and Walnut. We also see DAILY CLOSE CALLS with both pedestrians, cars/trucks and now certainly scooters! There are no stoplights between 17th and (I believe) 10th street. Coming down the hill from 10th street cars/trucks often RACE down the road right in front of us. Having a stoplight at the intersection I feel would reduce the number of speeding vehicles headed towards 17th street. Just this morning I saw someone walking across the street as two cars were speeding down Walnut. I don't know if one of them was distracted or not, but the person crossing the road nearly was hit and I am sure would have been killed. Thank you for looking into this.
Complaint of traffic light timing on W. 3rd St. between College Ave. and Rogers St. When busy, the timing of lights only allows very few cars to go at all due to backup caused by the alternating green/red of every other light. Not sure if there's anything that can be done about this issue.
Left turn arrow has not worked when turning left onto 17th street from Fee. This is very dangerous for drivers as other drivers going north on fee towards 17th are often speeding coming down hill by Briscoe. Also it is unsafe for student pedestrians trying to walk across 17th street. Please turn the left turn lights back on!
Light at S College Mall Road and 2nd creates very bad backups as clogs E 3rd and S College Mall left turn folks southbound from E 3rd. Watch during evening rushhour. Jams reliably stopping Eastbound East 3rd street from crossing S. College. Problem is not with that light but with City light at E 2nd and College creating jam on S College Mall between 2nd and 3rd. Somehow more traffic needs to get through Southbound on E 2nd during left turn Cycle for southbound left turners on E 3rd.
A traffic light is required to safely drop off and pick up children from Arlington Heights Elementary.
New mandatory stop at B line trail crossing on West Country Club drive. Bad, inefficient installation will cause traffic backups all the way to S. Walnut, already a problem. The warning lights should be installed facing the trail not the road – lots of cars, particularly at rush hour, every day, all hours, but very very few trail users. CC drive is a main cross-city route - so why stop all the cars every time when no trail users are there? Bad logic.
Traffic on Bloomfield Road (2nd Street) is backed up for about a mile heading out of town (traffic backed up past Landmark) & a half-mile coming in to town (backed up to 37), all waiting on the light at the Sportsplex/apartment complex The traffic light is only giving people on Bloomfield road about 5-10 seconds to get through the light, while the green light for people exiting the Sportsplex lasts about 30-40 seconds - but there's nobody going in or out of the Sportsplex! Could somebody PLEASE take a look at the program/timing of this traffic light?
Is there any way to get the length of green light (and especially left turn signal) lengthened on Kinser Pike southbound at the intersection with 46? Nearly all the traffic to and from North HS is now being routed through this intersection now that 37/69 has closed most access points near the school. This has resulted in long delays to get through that intersection and turn onto 46 from Kinser. Currently the left turn light only lasts long enough for a maximum of 3 vehicles to get through (fewer if one is a school bus). It is not unusual for it to take me 7-10 minutes to get from Skyline Drive onto 46 around 7:45am or in the afternoon when school lets out. Please consider setting the signal time to a longer setting. Thank you in advance.
Can someone PLEASE fix the timing of the lights at 46 & 3rd street, as well as the next one just east of it? It's horrible in the after work time and people always get trapped in the intersection.
