Street light on during the day on southwest side of intersection.
Street light on during the day on southwest side of intersection.
This light has been out for several weeks and makes it unsafe to walk in this area when it is dark outside. Light is located near the bus lane closest to the Transit Center.
The streetlight at 820 Howe street has recently been replaced, which is great --- except it's now extremely bright! Down at 344 S. Euclid, its blue light shines through a South-facing window and interferes with our sleep. Can it be dimmed (or made more yellow)?
See #188316. Same issue with too-bright street lamp now at 12th/Washington. Please be mindful of property boundaries when it comes to illumination and not cast light on houses, etc. Also, with the bright lights up it makes it all the more convenient for dragsters to drive extremely fast down 12th Street at night. If the City's intention is ostensibly to make the street safer, why not install stop signs somewhere, such as at Lincoln and/or Grant? The frequency of vehicles that taking advantage of the lack of any speed controls (signs, etc.) and that drive 40-50mph down the street during the evenings, night, and early mornings is angering.
New street lamp on SE corner of 12th/Lincoln is WAY too bright, much brighter and whiter than the normal orange-ish lamps on other street light fixtures in the neighborhood. This one emits a lot of glare, blinding drivers as they attempt to navigate 12th Street, and causing pain if one happens to look directly at it. Worse, it casts light far beyond the actual intersection, flooding the houses in the vicinity with unwanted light all night long, preventing people from enjoying their porches in the evenings and early mornings. If the City refuses to switch the light to a normal soft light that can be tolerated, it seems reasonable that the light can at the very least be shaded so that the intense glare is only directed downward rather than flooding the neighbors' homes in all directions with unnatural, unhealthy, and offensive light. A similar lamp was recently installed at the 12th/Dunn intersection. The people who live near that intersection are probably experiencing a similar, unwelcome annoyance.
Traffic lights don't function properly in this whole city. I can't wait for the traffic during the eclipse and there is a red light for all cars and everybody just sits there pondering the meaning why the traffic department people deserve to keep their job.
East and west bound traffic have the green light. Then the turn signal will trigger for east bound traffic giving west bound traffic a red light while east bound traffic stays green. Problem being that there isn't a car in the turn lane that needs to turn. This is causing west bound traffic to stop when it shouldn't need to. This has been occurring for 4 or 5 months. I think the motion detection is picking up westbound cars that are turning left into the Stonechase subdivision further down in the suicide lane.
Turn signals are triggered on W. Kirkwood and Rogers St when there are no cars in the turn lanes.
Signal for west bound traffic on W.Kirwood and Adams St is too short. I'm tempted to get out of my car while at the light and hit the pedestrian crosswalk button just so it stays green longer. Might try it next time. Starting to feel like a better solution than using uReport.
W. Kirkwood and Rogers St intersection - the turn signals are triggered even though no cars are in the turn lane. The creates an issue because we sit there for no reason, cars idling, pedestrians unable to cross. Just mindless waste of time sitting at a red light. Lights red for all people wanting to go straight. Mind boggling that it has been like this since last spring!!!!!
