Engineering and Public Works Crews have determined there is a faulty switch and the construction of the bridge is also disrupting the loops located in the pavement. The department has developed a tempoary solution to the issue and is also working on a long term fix to the current situation. Thank you for notifying us of the issue and please let us know if the current solution is not providing adequate time to turn left.

Thank you for the quick response. This is much better, and safer. Tom

As of 8 o'clock this morning the light was still out as if it had no power at all. All parts of the light were black.

The subject signal issue was the result of a power outage. Electrical service has been restored, and the traffic signal is now functioning properly.

The intersection of Old Milton Parkway and North Point Parkway is currently involved in a testing of an adaptive traffic control system, which adjusts the timing of the signal at each sequence based upon traffic volumes at that given time. As Old Milton Parkway / State Route 120 is a key roadway in the region, however, minimizing congestion on that roadway takes priority in terms of the timing of the signal at the North Point Parkway intersection.

In truth, traffic flows at the Old Milton Parkway / North Point Parkway intersection cannot be improved by adjusting the timing of the traffic signals. The pattern will only improve when Webb Bridge Road reopens and the normal traffic patterns are restored.

Webb Bridge Road reopened to through traffic on August 2nd. This has resulted in traffic patterns at the intersection of GA 120 / Old Milton Parkway and North Point Parkway returning to normal.

Public Works crews have visited the location multiple times and report that no lights are out.

Tree trimming crews have removed the tree and trimmed branches from another tree to enable the street light to function properly. Thanks for informing the City of this safety issue.

This issue has been resolved. The tree canopy in this area has been raised so that motorists traveling within posted speeds have adequate visibility.

Crews from the Department of Engineering and Public Works have trimmed the bushes and are working with the resident to relocate a tree/bush to improve the sight distance along this area. Thank you for informing the City of this safety issue.

Thanks for informing the City of this situation. Staff from the Department of Engineering and Public Works have studied the intersection and have concluded based on today's traffic volumes the intersection operates more efficiently without the added protected left turn phase. Adding the protected phase for the southbound left turn is anticipated to increase the average delay for the intersection by over 12 percent or a total of 5 and a half hours during the PM peak hour. staff will re-visit this issue once school is back in session and determine if the lights need to be adjusted to accomodate the new traffic patterns due to school traffic patterns.

Is this because it would add to the red light time of east/west bound Windward traffic?

While I'm disappointed that the light won't be adjusted, I appreciate the reply. If they revisit this issue, I suggest observing the intersection at approx 12:15pm and 5:15pm.

This issue has been received by the City of Alpharetaa and routed to appropriate staff for follow-up.

A crew from the Department of Engineering and Public Works repaired the crosswalk light the morning of September 21st. Thanks for informing the City of this situation.
