Northfield would be nearly unusable in one direction with the signals down half the time during rush hour in addition to any pedestrian crossings.
3 things to know before the Ion launches
1-2 minutes is the same cycle as a red light at a major intersection.
Clearly 1-2 minutes every 5 minutes at the most frequent won't be a problem for Northfield, which already has intersections that are red for 1-2 minutes ever 2 minutes.
