In an effort to improve traffic flow on Independence Street, automated traffic count devices will soon be installed between Gordonville Road and Sunset Boulevard. Field personnel will be collecting data over the next several weeks to improve congested areas and overall safety of the street.
Public meetings will be scheduled following the traffic study to share potential ideas and recommendations for Independence Street, and projects carried out as a result of the study and public meetings will be funded by Transportation Trust Fund 5.
