Description

The traffic light located at the entrance to the Fire and Police Academy on W Hanover Ave needs attention (light changes/turns red when nobody's waiting). The hill grade at this location is high for the travelers on W Hanover Ave and the light is badly programmed to turn Red even though there are no vehicles waiting to attempt to exit the "academy", or the facilities across the street - to gain access onto W Hanover Ave. The light changes to Red on the W Hanover Ave for drivers at all hours of the day; and is painfully noticable at late evening and early morning and on weekends when none of the facilities have need for the light. The unnecessary stoppage of Hanover Ave traffic at this location (vehicles traveling up the steep hill & breaking going down the hill) is a big waste of fuel and brake pads with nothing to gain. Better switching is needed here - it's better for the economy and the environment; and, it would make me smile.
