 New traffic light under construction
Work has been underway a little over a month on the new traffic signal going in at Standridge and Memorial drives. Most of the work is underground at this point in the project, alongside paving modifications to the sidewalk and intersection. The project is estimated to be finished by summer 2022, as we await manufacture and delivery of various traffic-signal components. Please #DriveSafe!
