Relocation of the traffic signal at Prospect and Cottonwood
avenues beginning Monday, Nov. 24 will require motorists to be cautious at that
intersection for the next few weeks.
While the new signal is being installed, the intersection
will be controlled by three-way stop signs and flashing red beacons. “Stop Ahead” signs also will be posted at the
approaches to the intersection.
The new traffic signal is expected to be up and running by
mid-December.
The existing traffic signal must be moved to make way for
street improvements that have been underway on Prospect Avenue since January.
Workers are currently installing conduit beneath the surface
so the overhead electric wires can be placed underground. They’re also pouring
curbs, gutters, sidewalks . The work is being done between the hours of 6 a.m.
and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Motorists should be aware that the speed limit in the “cone
zone” is 25 m.p.h. and traffic fines in that area are subject to being doubled.
Questions about the project can be directed to Senior Civil
Engineer Toby Espinola at 619-258-4100 ext. 174.
