Description
The traffic light on South Saunders is way too long and too short for Maywood Avenue. When you are on Maywood Avenue waiting for the light change, South Saunders has a large group of cars, a break and then another large group of cars before the light changes. If you are on Maywood Avenue and arrive on a red light you can go right, do a U-turn, and come back to a green light. It is faster to do this than wait so for the light to change. This morning when the light finally changed on Maywood, two buses were able to get through the light and we had to wait "forever" for the next light. I was too far back to be able to do my U-turn on South Saunders.

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. I will update this issue when I have heard back from them. Thanks for reporting.

We have looked into your concerns at this intersection. The wait time on Maywood is due to the fact that Saunders Street Is running a coordinated pattern to keep inbound traffic flowing in the morning. Some adjustments to the timings have been made and will be monitored for overall efficiency in allowing more vehicles to clear during the Maywood phase.
