Georgia Tortello is it me or the picture looks weird
Mayor Weste: What’s with continuing to build the horse trail along Sand Canyon Road? I drive Sand Canyon Road at least six times a week and I haven’t seen a horse using the existing trail for months a months. It was probably sometime last summer. Not only are these things costly to build, but I see City maintenance workers out there keeping it maintained. But at least they don’t have to pick up any horse poop. Our tax money can be spent much better.
Thanks for the education. I have noticed unnecessary left turn green lights for invisible vehicles. I drive McBean and have experienced unnecessary delays due to this issue. Also other cities feel that their drivers are smart enough for flashing yellow turn lanes. How about us?
I really haven’t seen much change in the way traffic signals function. Light cycles still last much too long, particularly in cases where there’s little to no cross traffic. A single car will pull up on a secondary side street and almost immediately trigger the traffic signal despite lots of traffic on the main thoroughfare. And some left turn lanes stay red for so long cars just stack up and eventually block the #1 lane of traffic which often leads to frustrated drivers making sudden and unsafe lane changes.
I see lots of room for improvement.
I really haven’t noticed any significant change to how traffic signals function. Lights still take far too long to cycle, particularly in cases were there is little to no cross traffic. I will often see a vehicle on a secondary street pull up to a red signal which will almost immediately trigger the signal to cycle for this vehicle despite the presence of a lot of cross traffic on the main thoroughfare. Some left turn lane signals will take so long to cycle cars begin to stack up and eventually block the #1 lane of traffic. This causes drivers going straight to make sudden and unsafe lane changes.
Based on my observations I see lots of work still needs to be done.
Many of the left turn lanes are poorly timed. Cars idling are adding to the greenhouse gases you are trying to reduce.
Please implement the flashing yellow arrow wherever they would be safe. Both the City and County need to do this.
