Intersection of Alden/Fountain/Harrison has had a flashing yellow for Fountain and a flashing red for Alden for at least 2 weeks. Numerous posts re the problem but despite all the assurances that the problem has been assigned, NOTHING has been done. The signal continues to be flashing yellow for Fountain etc.
Why is it taking so long to correct a very dangerous situation at a very busy intersection? Besides the automotive and truck traffic on Fountain, there is also a city bus that turns left from Alden onto Fountain, not to mention hapless pedestrians attempting to safely cross the street.
I agree with Pat H that this is a very hazardous corner. Alden Avenue is on the bus route. The fire station is right there on the corner of Harrison and Fountain and the post office where patrons are pulling in and out of traffic constantly all add to the problem. Please address this issue for once and for all!
Agreed. Every time this lights turns to flashing yellow it's dangerous for pedestrians, especially with the limited view of cars coming up the hill, the turning cars from various directions, and the cars entering and exiting parking in front of the post office.
Is there a good reason why this cannot have a permanent solution? It defies logic especially when older technologies from the early 1990s had this figured out. What a complete waste of time to keep reporting these issues then drag a crew out there, put some duct tape on it and days later it fails. SMH.
