Description
There is a mistiming of the traffic signals at the intersection of Broadway and Boston Avenue. During the cycle, all lights are red for 20+ seconds. During this period, all of the pedestrian signals say Don't Walk. If the extra time can't be given to a green light for Broadway, because of signal timing at Willow Ave., how about giving the extra 20 seconds of green light on Boston Avenue?

Hi Stuart,
Our traffic engineer reviewed the intersection, these are his notes from his investigation: "Traffic and Parking has reviewed the traffic signals at this location. The traffic signals at this intersection are functioning properly and as designed
The traffic signals are all red only when the pedestrian button is pushed/activated.
There is also a red phase for the crosswalks across Boston Ave (both sides) when there is a green phase for Broadway."
Thank you again for your concern,
Jesse Moos
