closed: Submission Received #213008

Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: This light is back on timers and no longer using the magnetic sensors. Do we know why they were changed? It has been a few weeks since noticing this one and others on my route to work. Seems to cause undue delays and traffic backups with no cross traffic in sight at 5am. Thank you!

Responded to resident explaining that the operation changed with recent signal timing updates and that staff will review whether detection-based operation can be restored while maintaining pedestrian and bicycle service.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This operation was changed as part of recent signal timing updates, in part to provide more consistent service for people using the multi-use path. We’ll take another look at this location, including pedestrian and bicycle activity, vehicle volumes, and the amount of delay being created during low-volume times such as 5 a.m. We can then consider whether it makes sense to return some or all of the intersection to detection-based operation while still providing appropriate service for people crossing the street.
