Traffic lights are out of time and causing backups

W Lafayette Blvd & SB John C Lodge Fwy SD - second case sign light is burned out

good afternoon, sir or madam: you huts should install left-turn signa on the cross-intersections of Lafayette/Michigan Avenue in Downtown Detrout and on McGraw Avenue in SWD etrour; to which, I sent pictures of those problems that have to addressed.

A double lane was created to turn from Forest onto John R in front of the VA hospital. This almost causes an accident every time. There is not enough room for two cars to comfortably turn there at the same time.

This intersection at W Adams and Park desperately needs some type of caution sign in the crosswalks to encourage drivers to actually stop. Currently the stop signs are blocked from drivers view due to parking on both sides of the street in front of stop signs. This type of sign or something along the same lines could help protect the large number of people who cross at this intersection throughout the day and evening.

Linwood & W McNichols - red light burned out

Access panel is missing from pedestrian crossing signal, however, access panel needs to be moved to another sign Non-City LED sign will be changing and will block access for the City into the crossing sign Please move the access panel for the City to maintain access into internal wiring Signage is on the water side

For vehicles turning from Cadillac Square into Campus Martius, they are going from 2 lanes to 3 lanes. However, there is no sign guiding people as to which lanes to turn into. I've had several close calls/sideswipes with people turning into the wrong lane.

There's a relatively new traffic signal at the intersection of Cadieux Rd and Frankfort St. I believe that when this signal was first installed, it operated normally during school hours and then flashed amber for Cadieux at other times. Now it is performing normal Green-Amber-Red operation all day and night.

Stopping traffic on Cadieux when there are no students or other pedestrians wastes fuel and citizen time. In my experience, the signal at Frankfort is not timed, in any way with the signals at East Warren or Chandler Park Drive which means even more time and fuel is wasted.

My request is to review the requirements for the signal at this intersection and consider limiting its operation to when classes at the East English Village Preparatory Academy are in session and actually require the pedestrian safety provided by the signal.

You might consider one of the "push button" Pedestrian Request features we see at some intersections so that early or late students can still request a green light/walk signal to cross Cadieux.

You could also consider one of the Pedestrian Crossing signs that go something like "Stop for Pedestrians in Cross Walk -- State Law."

Thanks for your consideration.
