I really wish the city of Dover would reevaluate the light at Bellevue and the Boulevard. There is no reason that light cycles and we have to stop and there's no one coming. What a waste of gas. Also, that light at Monroe and the Boulevard, another waste. We went for years and years with stop signs there. We didn't have a problem until somebody got an idea to put a light in. Yank the lights, Dover. They are not needed and are not necessary. They waste gas and time.
It's time for New Philadelphia to make Union Avenue and Seventh Street go straight to Five Points instead of have it one way, which they implemented in the 1970s. It's causing traffic backups not having Seventh Street go all the way to Five Points.
Heading east on Wabash Avenue at the AAA building, there are two lanes. The left turn lane should be left turn and straight, leaving the second lane to be a continuous right turn. The majority of people at that intersection turn right and are stuck behind someone going straight. This would benefit the community greatly.
