New traffic signal at College Pkwy and Research Way in Carson City
Orange construction cones have been in place at the intersection of East College Parkway and Research Way for several weeks now as city work crews have been installing utilities to power a new traffic signal at that location.
Carson City officials say a new traffic signal is scheduled to be activated at College and Research Thursday, Dec. 22 at 10 a.m., according to the city's Facebook page.
The new traffic light project is a partnership between the city and Maverik, which owns a fuel station and convenience store at the southwest corner of the intersection.
Officials say the signal will improve safety and access to businesses, including Maverik, which is expanding its property to include a separate diesel fuel station.
