Description
A project was started over a year ago to improve the 6-way intersection where Adeline and Market Streets intersection. The two corners had new concrete poured and looks like either new stoplights or strat lights have the bases installed, but not the light themselves. Big orange signs are still present along Adeline that say Road work ahead, but no one has been working there for months. Who is responsible for this project and making sure that it is completed?
When it rains, and fortunately it hasn't much this year, water pools in areas on both the Market and Adeline sides of the street because of a lack of sewers or proper grading. This is not my first post about this with no action to correct so far.

There were a couple of City staff there Tue 2/20/18. Here's the update from Danny Lau, @#$%'t Dir., Bureau of Design and Construction, OPW:
The work at the new island at the intersection of Adeline and Market was re-designed. As a result of this re-design, new and different traffic signal poles are required. Unfortunately, these poles have a long manufacturing lead time of about 2 months. The contractor has ordered the poles but the removal of the existing crosswalk/traffic signals and final improvements cannot begin until the new traffic control systems are constructed to allow for a planned and organized switchover.
Staff will also evaluate adding some signage to make it clear from afar that pedestrians should not travel through the new island area to cross the street.
