Which city? Salt Lake, Detroit or Cleveland? Cleveland already has designate #12 so one of the other two, I think. From Wiki:

The modern electric traffic light is an American invention.[3] As early as 1912 in Salt Lake City, Utah, policeman Lester Wire invented the first red-green electric traffic lights. On 5 August 1914, the American Traffic Signal Company installed a traffic signal system on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio.[4][5] It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer, based on the design of James Hoge, to provide a warning for color changes. The design by James Hoge[6] allowed police and fire stations to control the signals in case of emergency. The first four-way, three-color traffic light was created by police officer William Potts in Detroit, Michigan in 1920.[7]

It said the first modern traffic light. Not the first ever traffic light, or the first traffic light system.
 
There's a dock very near Griffin's wharf in Boston, commonly thought of as the site of the Tea Party. The dock is at the end of a park, a wide open space that would give them plenty of control and allow them to manage the crowd. Thoughts?
 
I can't get there, but #19 should be in or around the Franklin Institute. I thought #19 was going to be tomorrow. Bummer, working today off tomorrow.
 
on google maps sat. image of ben franklin memorial, in the southwest corner of the area there is a structure that looks like an X, could be the spot!

Make sure you add the N and W (for the NY one). I entered it without those and got somewhere in Russia I think.
 
Here are the coordinates for the bridge. Not to cause any confusion, just a theory, looking at how they handled the first one.
 
Um in google street view, there is a round golden thing across the street from the franklin memorial... is that a fancy looking clock? I can't tell.
