Try this new App
A new app called GiveMeGreen! links to traffic signals through a smartphone.
The technology senses when a cyclist is within 300-feet of an intersection and sends a signal to change the light to green. The rider gets a notice via text or vibration that their approach is received.
The pilot program has installed the technology at nine locations, and the City is asking residents to download the app, give it a try, and provide feedback at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Locations for GiveMeGreen (see map):
- West Jefferson Boulevard/Freeman Street
- Ardmore Avenue/Taylor Street
- Engle Road/Statesmans Way
- West Jefferson/Lutheran Hospital
- Franke Park Drive/Wells Street
- Aboite Center Road/Homestead Road
- Hanna Street/Oxford Street
- Hanna Street/Creighton Avenue
- Hanna Street/Pontiac Street
Fort Wayne is the second test city for the app, developed by Sensys Networks. The first test market was Santa Clarita, California.
