Union County Improving Park & Seventh

One of the city's busiest crossroads will receive new signalization and sidewalks in a two-month project that began June 18.

As of today (June 23, 2008), three of the four corners have been blocked off for the project.

Pedestrians must cross the street not at the crosswalks, but further in past the traffic cones.

The immediate neighborhood includes many elderly and disabled residents, who will have to use extra caution while the project is ongoing.

Drivers will also be challenged by the narrowing of the roadway and the distraction of the work itself. Be street-smart! Look both ways and observe caution while driving or walking through this intersection.
