General connectivity east to west and vice versa in this town is atrocious. While folks recognize that pedestrians and bikes are vulnerable groups in forms of travel, vehicles in the Midwest for all commuters and visitors in this metro area cannot navigate well at all. It appears engineering will finally be working on a project to help timing across facilities and infrastructure in town, however PLEASE ensure coordination with the state happens because those areas are the most crucial east to west and are never prioritized or fixed. It should not take 20+ minutes to get from downtown to the west side. It is getting ridiculous. Citizens Hope this gets better especially as increased density seems to be the only desired path forward for the city. Fear it is only going to get more congested with increased travel times by vehicle.
When trying to turn left from Kimble Dr. onto 3rd. St. it takes multiple pedestrian light cycles to recognize there is a car there. Often the main 3rd. St. light will only change if someone is trying to turn right. This has happened on many occasions with adjusting the car to register the weight sensor.
There is a school flasher traffic light that’s blinking all night. I think it was worked on recently and now it’s blinking 24 hours a day. It’s a real nuance at night.
