Since my last update about insensitive traffic lights made sensitive, I received an email that another service request has been fulfilled.
I submitted a request on December 31, 2009 to the San Diego Streets Division to have the left turn light at Village Place turning to Park Boulevard made more sensitive to bicycles.
Today, January 8, 2010, I received notification via email the left turning light has been made sensitive.
If you are a rider who regularly uses that intersection, please check and report back on whether the light is indeed sensitive to cyclists.
If you are dealing with insenstive traffic lights, be sure to submit a request to the City and send us an update as well.
