Pasadena traffic lights out of sync?
A week or so ago I was complaining to my girlfriend that every time I get off the 210 Freeway and head down either San Gabriel Blvd., Altadena Blvd., or Sierra Madre Blvd. (all three lead towards home) I hit every single red light between there and home.
As she typically does when I complain about something utterly uninteresting and beyond my control to fix, she suggested I write an article about it. Or blog. Or complain to Pasadena officials next time I am on the phone with them.
Lo and behold this week I notice there is a city Transportation Committee meeting Friday where they will be talking about a traffic light synchronization grant that would be funded with Proposition 1B money.
I can't seem to find any agenda information on the city's website, but I did leave messages to try to figure it out. I also found some information on a Caltrans meeting agenda, which seems to be referring to the grant. It says it would be on Hill Avenue, Fair Oaks, and Del Mar.
Not the exact streets I was hoping for, but I have noticed a lot of stretches on Pasadena roads are painful for red lights (I really hate the section on Colorado Blvd. that goes through Pasadena City College).
Anyway, I will look into this and see if it merits more attention. In the mean time, any commenters want to weigh in and where the worst red light sections of town are?
