What is the expected date the city traffic engineers will be turning on the (new) traffic light at the intersection of Princevalle and Luchessa Streets?
Red Phone:
One thing Red Phone appreciates, good caller, is the excellent planning and execution of projects by the City of Gilroy. Red Phone is always impressed with the thoroughness and rational thinking that civil servants of Gilroy are seen to exhibit. Red Phone contacted Gilroy Traffic Engineer, Henry Servin, about this particular traffic light.
Servin said, “This traffic light(s) was installed by the housing developer, KB Homes, and indeed is ready to be turned on.” However, explained Servin, “We are going to wait till the summer to turn it on. For safety reasons, we will turn on the traffic lights during the week of June 22. We have young drivers from Gilroy High School, Gavilan College, mixed in with regular drivers using this intersection who will need time to adjust to the removal of the stop signs and the new traffic lights. It will be safer when in the summer.”
So, good caller, the traffic lights will be turned on in due time, and hopefully at a safer time of the year.
