Description
The left turn signal from Westbound Forest Hill Ave to Bliley Ave needs to be reinstated. Without the left arrow signal cars are not able to make the left turn from Forest Hill to Bliley during busy traffic times. People will dart out in front of eastbound traffic to make the turn. Very dangerous.

- Staff · February 26, 2025Dear Citizen, Thank you for reaching out and for bringing this to our attention. We reviewed the signal timing at Bliley Road & Forest Hill Avenue and made adjustments to improve traffic flow. The changes will allow more vehicles from Bliley to clear the intersection, reduce backups, and better align the left turn signal with actual demand in the morning. These improvements should help smooth traffic movement while maintaining overall intersection efficiency. I am now closing this service request, but please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns.
