Description
Loop detector is not set for bicycles/cyclists to be detected. Sensor does seem set to detect cars/drivers, but timing is set to still wait minutes at this light. This discourages ANY use across this intersection to attend church, school. Also, while I like the multi-colored tile, creating a curb preventing access to "beg button" (see photo) is not not only lacking in ADA-compliance, but makes an even bigger mockery of trying to cross this street.

To reiterate my reopening from 9.11.18:
I once again appreciation the loop detection work, but want to follow up regarding the signal timing itself. Could I please get a call back (please send me a private message, if possible, to get my phone number). - Scot

To reiterate my comment on the reopening of 9.11.18
If I might add, having been through the "How can I get a callback?" experience here previously, that another option, rather than expecting us to publicly post our phone numbers here (which seems to be the only solution) would be for the city to share a public phone number for the relevant department here so that the "callback" could happen that way.

Detection set the maximum sensitivity.

So as the "call back" concept doesn't appear to be in the offing, let's just focus on the following question:
Is "closing" this matter by stating "detection set (sic) the maximum security" a matter of not understanding that I'm actually now asking that the timing/sequencing of the signal be changed to grant more time, less waiting for those on Edith, OR is it a matter of this request for more equitable signal timing being understood AND that the City isn't willing to do that?
Hence the reopening of this matter until we get clarification on this. Just tell me if the City isn't willing to make the timing/sequencing more equitable. I won't agree with that decision, but at least that way I'll know what is truly "Closed" and will stop Reopening the matter. At least here at 311/SCF. Thanks - Scot

"The city's historically installed detection equipment is rarely sensitive enough to sense nonmetallic bicycles. As new city intersections are constructed, bike specific detection can be installed but it’s not a common maintenance procedure."
