Waiting For The Improvements

As part of the improvements to the Stewart's intersection, a new horizontal traffic light pole was installed a few weeks ago, and it awaits lights.  In the meantime, thanks to the new pole, from about 100 feet away it is impossible to see the red light as one approaches one of the city's most nerve-wracking and accident-prone intersections.  In fact, one sees no lights of any kind at a certain distance, as shown in the picture.  I believe there used to be 2 traffic lights for traffic headed in this direction.  Now, at least temporarily, there is just one.  

This is a truly slow work in progress.

There are now 4 pedestrian crossing signals installed in the ground waiting to be activated.  When this project is completed, signals and other improvements notwithstanding, it's still going to be a frightful crossing area for pedestrians.
