There are a lot of lights in Kingston and lots of lights that need adjustment. I drive through this intersection several times a week, and I do NOT consider it dangerous or as high a priority as you describe it. I can't say I ever have needed to take a left - but if that's a real issue (having to wait) then those drivers should perhaps find another path to their destination that avoids taking a left turn.

So what makes the intersection dangerous? Have you seen accidents take place? Is there is history of people getting hurt? If it really is dangerous, why?

Just bringing up an issue does not make it a priority. Saying people deserve better is not an arguement. Saying engineers should do their job is not an arguement. You need to build support. I for one think there are lights on Washington Ave that are in greater need of upgrading.

Why should this light be a higher priority?

i actually think that the light at that intersection can be tweaked a bit. coming off the tracks, and seeing somebody trying to make a left hand turn .... yeah ..... not happening.

I agree, however I believe that the traffic coming from Foxhall Ave deserves a longer green...I've clocked it staying green for 6 seconds and then going to red, it's utterly ridiculous.

The wacky, zig-zag configuration of Route 32 through Kingston causes so many traffic backups along the Route 32 corridor, and traffic just doesn't flow properly in this town. This intersection definitely warrants that this intersection get a green left-turn arrow at the least, to get traffic MOVING through the City of Kingston, instead of sitting in traffic for hours in this town of only 25,000 people. Drivers turning left onto Flatbush Avenue have to sit for too many cycles of the traffic light, and according to traffic studies, this type of intersection has a Low Level of Service, which means that it is a choke point that needs urgent action in order to bring it up to at least the minimum traffic flow standards, which is NOT being achieved here.

I agree it is a huge pain. Just change the lights to have a green arrow and make the left a left turn only and the right lane straight and right turn...

Still nothing done here. 9/17/12.

Still nothing done! 2/2/13!

We will look into this matter at the next Common Council meeting.

Looking into something is not fixing something.

Still nothing done! 6-22-13!
