A big truck made a turn too short last Friday morning and took out one of the city's traffic lights. The lights and the pole were completely destroyed. The street department has the three lights flashing red and have installed stop signs. The intersection is now a four way stop. That seems to be working well at the present time.

It takes at least six months to get a replacement pole for the lights. We were making plans to install a temporary pole and order a new pole. It turns out that the city already has a pole that can be used to make the repairs at the intersection. It is an old pole that was used at our old fire station. The city crews started taking down the pole yesterday afternoon, but decided to stop and do the work this morning because of the traffic on Falls.

I hope everything goes well and we can have the repairs made by this week end.
