An even more important issue now that we have hundreds of apartments and condos on the West side, as well as a new supermarket and a theater coming soon. Wasn't much of an issue to head West in the past, but taking a left turn heading North has become a challenge at best.

10 years ago I asked the the sitting finance commissioner the same question. He became very upset as the need for a study on traffic patterns needed to be conducted by the state as it's a state route and funding needed to come from the county and/or city to fund this study. Certainly no one wants to foot the bill for this "study. "Its bad enough Broadway is major truck route and engine braking is allowed or unenforced on city streets. You would think common sense would prevail and left turn arrows would be simply installed. But with this issue and the 10 years I have been asking about it to city officials, no one wants to take on a simple task and get this done.

I have made this suggestion on this site several times. Perhaps it's time to attend meetings and make some noise to cause this to happen. It can't all be for the summer people; although they would benefit from this too.

Add me to the list!

Especially the intersection of Lake and Broadway!
