When Will the New Signal Be Operational?
The contractor is working to install the replacement traffic signal as soon as possible. The new signal is expected to be installed soon, with timing for full operation dependent on installation, testing, and programming. Motorists may encounter a flashing signal temporarily while the system is being configured.
We appreciate your patience as this work progresses. These improvements are part of the City’s Downtown Signalization Project, which will modernize traffic signals and improve safety and accessibility at key downtown intersections.
Please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and continue to use caution around construction crews.
