Work on Walnutport light set for next month
Work on Walnutport’s main traffic light could begin within the next few weeks.
Shop drawings from C.M. High Inc. have been reviewed and the work is tentatively scheduled for mid-March due to weather and lead time on ordering the equipment.
In December, council awarded a quote to the Myerstown firm in the amount of $12,150, for upgrades to the traffic light at Best Avenue and Main Street.
The borough has been awarded a $25,000 Green Light — GO program 50/50 matching grant.
Borough grant coordinator Michael Wentz previously said the borough was awarded the grant two years ago through PennDOT to update the light.
The light will receive new light heads, a new controller and control box and emergency pre-emption.
The control panel is being replaced by an insurance claim.
