Description

The high volume of pedestrian traffic on Center Street crossing Oxford Street results in vehicle traffic on Center Street getting stuck in the middle of the intersection.

Most pedestrians will cross even with just a few seconds left on the countdown and only 1-2 vehicles can actually turn right from Center St (Eastbound) onto Oxford St (Southbound). Pedestrians are often in the crosswalk when opposing traffic has a green signal.

Can Public Works look into either extending the yellow light phase for Center Street and/or having the green signal phase stay on for vehicle traffic after the pedestrian 'do not walk' phase is on? A few seconds added would greatly help pedestrians and vehicles clear the intersection.
