Triple turn coming to Fillmore/Union

QUESTION: The city has spent a great deal of money installing traffic cameras at various intersections. I am wondering if the cameras at Union and Fillmore are working? Going eastbound on Fillmore attempting to turn north onto Union there can be 15 cars in each left-turn lane, yet only six or seven cars will make the green arrow, not counting those that run the red light. Is it possible to have that intersection checked?

ANSWER: This is an extremely busy area and Fillmore eastbound will be rebuilt for the city’s first triple left turn, according to city traffic engineer John Merritt.
