Planning for pedestrians
Installation of pedestrian crossing signals, another component
of Sylva's 18-month-old Streetscape project, is under way at
three Main Street intersections. N.C. Department of Transportation
crew members Tim Ashe of Cullowhee, left, and Steven Buchanan
of Dillsboro put the finishing touches on the signals at the
Grindstaff Cove/Schulman/Main intersection (next to Wachovia Bank)
last Friday. Crossing signals at that intersection are operational now,
DOT traffic signal supervisor Steve Heim said Tuesday, and those at
Walnut (soon to be Landis -see story from Sylva board meeting) and
Spring streets are expected to be working within a week. The new
pedestrian signals will be coordinated with traffic lights to work with
traffic movement, Heim said.
