City of Columbia set to install accessible pedestrian signals at two West Worley Street intersections
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The City of Columbia's installation of accessible pedestrian signals at two West Worley Street intersections will begin Tuesday at 7 a.m.
The city says once work begins, sidewalk closures and intermittent driving lane restrictions and closures will be required at the intersection of West Worley Street and West Boulevard.
In a press release, the city says this phase of the project includes the installation of new signal equipment including accessible pedestrian signals with countdown timers at the intersection.
The project also includes reconstruction of several sidewalk ramps at the intersection corners to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
The city says work is anticipated to be completed in mid-July, weather permitting.
The previous phase of the project at the West Worley Street and Bernadette Drive intersection included the installation of new signal equipment, including accessible pedestrian signals with countdown timers.
According to the city, those signals at the West Worley Street and Bernadette Drive are now complete and open to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Back in May, Columbia Public Works spokesman John Ogan said the signals are being installed at the locations after the Disabilities Commission created a list of places it would like to see the signals installed.
