Description
At times, it is nearly impossible to make a left onto Fordline from Eureka Road. The speed limit on Eureka is only 35, which means that oncoming traffic at the intersection is going to take longer to get through the intersection to make a left turn. The safest time to turn is when the light at Eureka turns to red, which is pretty dangerous because Fordline's light turns green. Please, a left turn signal will fix everything in this area.

I do agree, but do not agree with you at the same time. Please let me explain.
A left turn signal has been present at Trenton and Eureka for as long as I can remember, although that particular light is known to be out of sync with the rest of the traffic signals around the area. However, such an area is looked upon as more of a "major" intersection when compared to Fordline and Eureka, which is probably why a left turn signal was installed there in the first place (even though the traffic signal's entire cycle is ridiculously short, which probably explains why traffic gets backed up all the way down to Pearl St.). So, because Fordline is a side street (even though the street itself is busier than most other side streets), this probably explains why a left turn signal was decided against. As mentioned, if they should fix any of the traffic signals, it should be the horrendous light at Trenton and Eureka, even though, from what I understand, the entire network of traffic signals around the immediate area may have to be "re-flashed" as well.
