Funding for the new signal came from impact fees, which are charged to developers for infrastructure improvements required to accommodate approved projects based on how much they affect the surrounding areas.
See a map below:
The new signal will operate in “flash mode” for the next two weeks to give drivers a chance to get used to it.
The signal will become fully operational after that two-week period has passed.
