Adams & Tillary (the easy solution)

Complex problems require complex solutions.

For those of you have been following my rant about the changes at Tillary and Adams Street, you know the DOT made some complex changes (scroll down). They wanted to give pedestrians more time to cross the street. That makes sense. But their solution broke a traffic pattern that had been in existence for decades, and had been working for that long. And according to many people who live in Concord Village, the DOT solution is not exactly working.

So here's my solution. And it's not only not complex, it's (as many of my friends would say) stupid easy. None of the other intersections are timed to go off with the Tillary and Adams intersection. So you don't have to worry about changing the timings on that corner. So why not just make all the light intervals LONGER! Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this the easy solution that should have been tried to begin with?
