New and Improved Traffic Lights at N Tripp and W Foster Aves - Carry Forward Project from Cycle 4
The intersection in front of Gompers Park Fieldhouse is dangerous. The timer-based traffic lights date back to the 1950s and are dim. Vehicles often ignore red lights and nearly hit pedestrians. Possible improvements:
- rather than timers, "smart" or "intelligent" sensor-based traffic signals that detect when vehicles are present
- high-visibility traffic signal heads
- delayed green for eastbound traffic to allow westbound traffic to turn south on N Tripp Ave
- move stop line and install new traffic signal to allow vehicles to exit the fieldhouse parking lot
- new sidewalk access ramps on three of the four corners to allow wheelchairs and strollers to cross safely

I have seen cars blow through this light at high speeds. Street racing is also common on this stretch of foster.
