Repairing a corner traffic light can get expensive. Danville’s Public Works committee Tuesday will discuss repairs of the traffic signals posts, lights, and associated infrastructure at the intersection of Bowman Avenue and Voorhees Street. It was damaged by a motorist; and due to the extent of the damage, a full signal post replacement is required. Due to the federal requirement to meet ADA standards, the work must also include sidewalk/curb ramp upgrades.
The total cost of the project will be more than 259 thousand dollars. The motorists insurance company will pay 130 thousand dollars, with the city funding the rest. The committee meets at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
