Being a link in the Greenway, you might want to suggest to whatever agency controls the signals (Public Works dept, Traffic Engineering Division ( http://www.cityofknoxville.org/engineering/traffic/) and copy the Mayor, Director of Public Works, and Parks Dept) to reset the lights to have a Leading Pedestrian Interval, LPI, to give pedestrians and less traffic savvy cyclists a safer crossing. The LPI gives pedestrians a few seconds to get into the road, where they will be more easily seen by motorists. On a bike, you likely can get halfway across before left turning traffic makes it to the crosswalk.
