Teams were seen on Wednesday morning installing the fourth traffic signal at the intersection.

“The traffic signal is expected to be operational by the end of June,” said the city’s Marketing and Communications Manager Brandon LaVorgna.

The signals are not the final step. The crosswalks will also be restriped and stop bars will be added, according to LaVorgna.
