haha, I gave up on 91 long ago. You can take side streets and get to your destination in the same amount of time. Between the terribly timed lights and the slow drives going 30, its more trouble than its worth.

Yes, I need to drive south down 91 to work from Lakeshore every day... you will go, stop, go, stop, go, stop, all the way until Euclid Ave. Horrible.

Whenever i find myself on 91, sitting at one red light, patiently waiting to proceed the short distance onto the next red light... I ponder the wisdom of those who program the lights. Did they puposely create the stop and stop and stop-some-more effect to instill within we weary travellers a sense of anticipation? Ahhh! almost home but no quite!..and who knows when that will be? But it has to be soon, right? I know i savor and hold dear the times when i finally make my turn of 91 and get on side street for home.

Nothing new here, just another citizen shaking their head at
the role government plays in our lives. This traffic light sequencing is NOT by accident.

its not about you saving money with efficient travel, its about city revenues from tickets.

You have to drive 59 mph with no one to slow you down to make the lights. Otherwise as mentioned you hit every one. I avoid 91 as much as possible for this reason.

Make that eleven. What a waste of gas to keep stopping and starting.

I've talked to ODOT, who says Eastlake owns the responsbility. I have talked on numerous occasions with Mike Semik, Eastlakle Service Director, who does not believe there is a sequencing problem! Hisd office is 440-951-1416, ext 143. Perhaps if more of us call to comment, he will attempt to make this nuisance work more effectively.

Seems like all lights got re-sequenced when mayor Ted took over, including the one at Erie and Lakeshore.

Hey Eastlake, If you sequence traffic signals to let people travel efficiently, just think of all the revenue generated by speeding tickets. Which is more satisfying, knowing that current sequencing frustrates everyone, or generating revenue with all the lead footed drivers?

M. Parks - that's a pretty good way of putting it! The speed limit is 50 which is an oxymoron. You have to go faster than than to get through the lights and usually can't do to other slower driviers. That's even more frustrating. Glad I'm moving out of Eastlake. I will be able to avoid the northern terminus of 91 forever more!

After several calls to the service director for Eastlake, it is very unlikely that he will ever take the time or energy to fix the issue; that's not his style. Talk, stalling, and hoping the problem will go away is more his idea of a good idea. Council members have asked the city engineer to help, and things are a little better, but already things are going off cycle again. Computers, electronic communications, and pitiful timing on traffic lights, all compliments of the taxpayer. Good luck, folks!!! Call City Hall, call your councilperson at large, and your ward councilperson to voice your complaints. If enough of us voice a concern, maybe the Mayor and Council will have the leverage to put an effective service director into the position.

91 lights are bad!! How bad??? I set a point at light at Reeves & Lakeshore and then at Route 2 West at the bridge at the entrance ramp. Coming from Surfside it takes 7:00-10:30 minutes to go up 91 to Rt.2 West. Going up Reeves to Lost Nation to Rt.2 West to the bridge takes.....5:30 minutes going out and 6:30 minutes coming home that way.

It's actually FASTER to go out of our way into Willoughby and up/down Reeves than to go up 91. Plus...When you get the green light coming off Rt. 2 at Lost Nation, you get the green light at Reeves going North. Willoughby has it figured out!!

The Reeves route from Surfside has only 2 lights to hit. The Lakeshore to 91 route has TEN!!!....and you normally get stopped at them all!!
