[Vision2020] downtown

[J Ford]

In addition, I've noticed that the traffic lights on Jackson, Main and 
Washington with the cross street of Third, are way off.  Before the 
construction, it seemed the timing was a mite closer in time than they are 
now.  At the change, there is almost a 10-20 second delay before ANY light 
turns green, leaving everyone sitting there looking around - "You go, no you 
go, no, no...you go."

Anyone in the City Staff - can this be fixed?
