Description

The traffic signal for eastbound 55th Street at MLK is not detecting bicycles. I and one other person waited with our bikes on the line between the bike lane and the travel lane, behind the crosswalk, and the signal went through an entire phase without giving us the green light.

Considering how much bike and car traffic there is on 55th Street, it seems like this location would be a good one to have the light on a timer so that 55th always gets a green, and to abandon the actuated signal which never seems to work 100% for bikes.
