Rochester 5th Ward Information

In an attempt to close the gap between city government and its citizens, especially those I represent in Rochester's Fifth Ward, I will try to provide timely updates on issues and concerns that are under consideration for council action as well as any specific concerns you bring to my attention.

Northern Heights Traffic Signal

Every once in a while I get a complaint about the timing of the traffic signal exiting Northern Heights Drive onto Broadway. The problem has been that the sensing device that would sense your car on N. Heights was very close to the cross-walk and many drivers would not go that close so the light would not change as it should have for them.

MN-DOT controls the light and has been made aware of the problem.

GOOD NEWS! As of the first of the year they have released this as a free running light, that is, it's on a 55 seconds for North/SOuth Broadway and 45 seconds for Northern Heights cycle.

In spring, as weather permits, MN-Dot will cut a new sensing loop at the intersection and will then return it to the "on-demand" light we probably would prefer.
