The Seattle PI is reporting that pedestrians wonder whether it might be time to re-examine the timing of lights on Boren Avenue.
There are times, such as rush hour, when Boren is busy, and the lights should be timed to keep traffic flowing on the street they believe.
Wayne Wentz, Seattle's traffic management director, says traffic should improve. The city is planning to improve the coordination of traffic signals in downtown Seattle in March. He says the engineers will take comments into account, as they try to retime the signals to follow the situation on the roads at different times of the day.
More good news for pedestrians is coming, Wentz says. The city will be doing a study to evaluate whether more pedestrian push buttons should be removed. Based on the study, the city will look at giving pedestrians a "walk" signal automatically.
