Additional 2019 projects include new stoplights to help pedestrians cross more safely on East Holly Street at High Street and on North State Street at Maple and Laurel streets.

All three locations are intersections with heavy foot traffic, Comeau said, because they are near Western Washington University bus lines and student-oriented housing.

“That’s going to make State Street so much better for pedestrian crossing,” he said. “It also will be safer for vehicle drivers not to have to suddenly stop (at a crosswalk) and risk a rear-end collision,” Comeau said.
