My suggestion to the group is for someone to contact the Saratoga Springs DPW at:
http://www.saratoga-springs.org/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=24
and report the response back here.
The only official in Saratoga Springs tracking SeeClickFix is the City Engineer and he is only receiving items containing the keywords "engineering" & "design".
I don't know about the specific problems in Saratoga regarding this left turn. However, as a practicing traffic engineer there are always trade offs by increasing the number of phases (left turn, through movement, pedestrian, etc) in a full cycle. There are only so many seconds available. Giving time to one group denies it from others.
Add to this the need to have a progression (green band) on Broadway and the situation becomes more complicated.
The problem could be as simple as the need to install a detector for the left turn but you won't know until you ask.
I would recommend that you ask the City to track SeeClickFix more closely.
Good Luck!
