Hello,

My name is Brad Wiltfong. I am a citizen of Burlington who regularly bikes through this intersection.

At present, it is very unclear if the traffic signal is activated by people on bicycles. It appears there is a pressure plate and those can be notoriously unfavorable to people on bikes.

Can you please improve this intersection and upgrade to an electric eye that will sense people on bikes?

This is presently the safest intersection to cross North Ave when heading to the bike trail that I use for daily commute to work/shopping/recreation in downtown.

The cross walk is insufficient as a means for people on bikes to cross this road as people in cars will not be looking for bicyclists crossing via crosswalk and entering the travel lane.

Please improve this intersection with an electric eye or please correct me if the pressure plate senses people on bikes and will adjust the traffic light accordingly.

Thank you for your time,
Brad
