Description
This intersection is a nightmare and made worse by the construction. Requesting potholes filled in, lines painted and clear left turn/straight arrows painted and may as well ask for the stars and a light for turns?

Q. What pedestrian and traffic safety elements would you like the city to consider here (select all that apply, if any)?

Not the mention the police officer that stands at that intersection daily and watches all of this happen.
Something also needs to be done about cars not following the “left turn only” lane on Grand which is to turn on to Grove. People speed up the left turn lane VERY fast to cut off the line of cars going straight then drive straight through the light. Then the cars in the lane have to swerve to the right (where pedestrians are standing) to avoid being side swiped by the cars that decide to drive straight, because the lanes are smaller now due to the construction.
I pass through there every morning and the people trying to cross the street can barely get across. Between the construction barricades and smaller lanes and no one following traffic rules. It’s a mess.

Thank you Devi! I wrote about this a while ago- and the response was to close the ticket because "conceptual" improvements were to be finalized by May 2018. But what will that do to help in the short term?
Cars go straight and totally ignore the "LEFT TURN ONLY" lane and almost side swipe the cars going straight which then causes them to swerve towards pedestrians that have nowhere to stand due to construction.
This area is bad still and should be fixed until a permanent solution is put into place.
