Traffic signal changes given green light by council
Drivers may notice some differences to their commute later this year, as traffic control at two intersections is set to change.
A motion regarding the removal of street lights at Central Avenue and 11th Street and the installation of a set at Sixth Avenue W. and 28th Street sparked debate among city council members at their Monday meeting.
A recent transportation study showed two intersections — Sixth Avenue West and 28th Street and Central Avenue and 22nd Street — could benefit from lights. It was decided Sixth Ave. W had seen plenty of growth and would benefit more from signals. A report from administration explained a stop sign would suffice for now at the intersection by Kinsmen Park and downtown.
But not everyone was ready to give the proposal a green light.
