Description

Starting over on a previous request. See also Issue ID 767398, which was closed and archived but not actioned, and I'm unable to reopen it.

Many city services appear to be available by appointment, so I have reason to believe the DPW can possibly get to this task and send a technician to the intersection.

QUOTED TEXT FROM ISSUE 767398:

With push buttons now disabled due to the pandemic response, this intersection seems to have an excessive amount of time for the pedestrian walk phase. These phases are significantly longer than the concurrent phases nearby at Huron and Aberdeen, despite Huron and Holworthy being much narrower.

15 to 25 seconds of pedestrian time should be sufficient for every 60 to 90 seconds of vehicular traffic. It's currently programmed as ~30 seconds each.

Another option: Please consider programming a flashing red and/or flashing yellow light at this intersection instead for the duration of the COVID19 pandemic.
