Description
Just as what happened at Canal and Loring/Jefferson, the light timing has been changed for left turns and it is terrible. Perhaps if it was a two-lane the whole street it would work, but the way it is now is horrible. Backed up all wkd and Friday night rush hour because the left turn signal lets 3 cars go through! It was backed up past bagel world, with no communication from the city of this change, etc. That would not have helped though, as the timing is terrible. It should be like it was before, where it stays green for a while just for left turns. You have people backed up who all want to go straight but cannot because all the left-turn people are stuck. Honestly, it seems the new parking director does not actually DRIVE around Salem, but walks to and from his job each day. The light at Loring/Jefferson now creates backups for over a mile regularly because of the left-turn yellow flashing lasting for 3 seconds. Again, might work if it was a two-lane the whole way, but it is not. Please fix this issue.

With all due respect as the city electrician shouldn’t work that falls under your jurisdiction be inspected by you and signed off by you? It should done right the first time and if adjustments are needed they should be done immediately; not waiting days for complaints. You know they city’s traffic woes better then most officials so I would expect that you would stand there and make sure this was done as close as possible then fine adjustments made later. Lastly the road engineering is suspect. We know why you keep making the roads smaller, but some intersections are just obnoxious. One example I see is how small you make the mouths of the streets. Lets look at Aborn at Boston; the reason Why I use this street is there is a school down the street and busses need to turn on to Aborn and when traffic is leaving Aborn busses cannot make the turn and drive up on the opposite sidewalk. That means fire trucks cannot make it and that slows the response times down and sidewalks are not designed to hold trucks. This needs to be fixed and we need to make the roads wide so emergency vehicles can get through. I really do not need an engineering degree to figure this out.
Thank you
