Description
The intersection of Idlewood Ave & S. Blvd desperately needs a left turn signal. Whether you are heading East or West on Idlewood, the traffic flow comes from 195 in both directions. 10-15 cars will breeze through a green light while those who are yielding and waiting to turn left can miss multiple light cycles. This is dangerous because frustrated drivers often turn left on red and there is a risk that the other cars heading east/west may run the red light as well. The congestion in this area could be alleviated with a left turn signal at the intersection.

Construction is schedule on Boulevard for the nest two weeks that is causing traffic conjunction and delay. Once construction is completed traffic flow will return to normal.

I've been turning left onto Boulevard at this intersection for the past nine years. We've needed a green arrow this entire time. Having construction has only heightened the already existing problem. During rush hour I have sat through as many as three light cycles to turn left without moving. I run the red light in order to get through as does everyone else.
We need a green arrow now and after the construction is complete.

The conjunction at Idlewood and Boulevard is caused by construction repairing underground utilities. Construction is scheduled to be completed by March 31. When construction is completed traffic flow will return to normal without delay.
