Description
DPW, please consider allowing Right On Red for northbound vehicles at the intersection of Battery St and Pearl St. When this was a 3 lanes northbound road, with 1 lane to go straight past Battery Park and 2 lanes to turn right, it did not make sense for the right turn lanes to be able to Right On Red. This has been changed to 2 lanes northbound. Westbound vehicles at this intersection have the ability to turn Right On Red with a similar 2-lane configuration, it would seem like northbound vehicles should have the same ability. As with westbound vehicles, a digital sign that lights up to not allowed Right On Red when the pedestrian signal is active would seem appropriate at this location.

"DPW Staff believe this is the correct approach for this intersection."
Would it be possible to get a "why" for that decision? As pertains to transparency of government decisions, seems like a real answer would be more constructive.
