Public <br />Works Director Phare explained there is one traffic light project proposed for the <br />intersection of Dillon Road and Pierce, which is a part of the Dillon Road Project. <br />The current CIP proposal includes small improvements to existing traffic signal <br />lights, but does not include any new traffic signals in the 5-year program. He <br />noted they have looked at the intersections of McCaslin and Washington and <br />Tyler and Pine, but they did not meet warrants. <br />Mayor Sisk asked for the cost of a traffic signal. Public Works Director Phare <br />estimated the cost of a traffic signal to be between $175,000 and $225,000. <br />Councilor Dalton inquired about the possibility of a signal light at St. Andrews and <br />Dillon Road. Public Works Director Phare stated a capital improvement request <br />was submitted for various traffic signals in the 5-year plan, however, with all the <br />budget requests, they were not approved.
