I reached out to Jeremiah Bartlet (Transportation engineer with the Department of Public works) & asked about the Light at Whitney & Congress Street, as we had discussed it during the meeting.

He said:

"Indeed, we are adding the thermal detectors here as part of the current signal project, so bicycles can get picked up and change phases, something that has not been possible here.

I do expect in the coming months we will need to adjust settings for all of the different needs at this location, so I welcome additional input later this fall after everything is completed."

Once it's completed we should test the system out & let him know how it's working, as indeed it might need adjustments at first- I'm sure some of us ride through there every day, so it should be a small lift!
