Saving 192 retail, one light at a time

A recent drive down 192 reveals a new traffic light being installed between Target and Home Depot. This should make it easier for eastbound traffic to get to the stores, rather than having to "gun it" between breaks in traffic.

We applaud the use of actual steel arms for the lights, rather than the old method of having light fixtures dangling from wires over the street. And we hope that this move isn't in vain, and that some of our national retailers will continue to call 192/Vine St. home...otherwise it'll be easy to make a left turn into a big empty
parking lot.

Or is this just another attempt to make traffic access easier for the Sports Authority School project?

The Sports Authority School was a passing fancy. Now the commission has more important things on its mind that it can charge the taxpayers for. Trips to California for the Top American City awards, one-sided election reforms that citizens are not in favor, and inner city housing projects for governmental employees. Actually concern themselves with fixing a broken community... Not important... There are re-election races to run.
