I beat this drum a lot, but here again is the problem with the Trident: too often, the lights at Asylum and the lights at Farmington get out of sync, and it gums up traffic. Today we were fortunate, as no one blocked the box, but that happens all too often.
I proposed my idea for a fix to the city’s consultant working on improvements to the Trident, which was to keep the lights synchronized and then allow for an extra long walk signal, so that one person could make it all the way across the whole of the Trident with ease. I estimated it would take at most 35 to 45 seconds. The consultant’s response? That’s too long to make cars wait. Well! All of us going north and south through the Trident had to wait 3 minutes to get all the way through – not a long time, in the grand scheme of things, and certainly more time than a pedestrian-friendly walk signal would have made us wait.
