editor Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I noticed that the flashing red lights embedded in the streets at the light rail crossings don't work anymore. Does anyone know what happened there? Did they not stand up to the elements or being driven over by all that traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to put in a 311 request and find out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything reported to 311 more complicated than a pothole is typically closed without it being addressed and they'll put their excuse in the notes. It's usually something to the effect of "not my job" with a reference to another county/state or private entity. The onus is on the citizen to get anything accomplished, but they will tell you why they won't fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 I really need to finally find out who my city councilperson/alercritter is. It's been on my list for a while, but I guess this is as good a reason to find out as any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that they worked in 2008 when I was here for school, but when I moved here in 2013 they weren't working anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Perhaps METRO lost interest once the rail opponents stopped their kamikaze collisions with the trains. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, they looked for a new toy after the cool factor wore off. I thought these were a great safety item. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
