We appreciate your email.

We have submitted a service request to our Public Works Department. Your reference number is 992359. This type of request will be considered quickly, but may take up to 6 months to implement if approved.

If there is anything else we can help you with please contact us. Thank you for emailing the City of Minneapolis.

There is a left turn arrow already for SB Nicollet to EB Diamond Lake Rd. Which direction do you feel needs an arrow?

NB Nicollet from EB Diamond Lake Rd. At rush hours, it is nearly impossible, heading east on Diamond Lake Road, to turn left onto Nicollet and head north toward downtown.

That would make a lot of sense, especially since it would not slow down the signal cycles (since the NB and SB green arrows could display at the same time, followed by the ordinary green for Nicollet). Did you ever heard back from Public Works?

Nothing yet. But they said it may take up to 6 months. Oh wait, looking back, I posted this last July, so I guess it's been that long!

Yeah you have to get pretty aggressive to get through that light and that's not even during rush hour!

I agree! I have been frustrated at this intersection for decades. If you live nearby you could talk to the block club leader. Fortunately I hardly ever see pedestrians. Horrible intersection
