Not sure who decided all of these pedestrian intersection improvements was the best use of our money…the sidewalks which go nowhere are my personal favorites.
I would much rather see this money spent on synchronizing the existing traffic lights, or changing the programming so that you don’t get a “red” at an intersection of Hwy 29 and some small intersection when there is not even a car at the side street of the intersection.
This is good but when are they going to put in a turn light for Detroit Blvd. That intersection is always dangerous for anyone making a left turn at Hwy 29 from either direction on Detroit. After living down Detroit, near Pine Forest for over 30 years, I would have thought that making that turn would have improved by now, especially with WalMart on Hwy. 29 and so many businesses on 9 Mile but it’s still the same “take you chances” situation.
