One simple question: When is this dangerous situation going to be remedied? Many people who make use of the Renaissance Center use this horrible intersection to get to their destination. Could not some of the money appropriated/ used toward the purchase/renovation of the Center been used to hasten the installation of the traffic signal? Seems our priorities might need to be reexamined.

NC DOT has a contract, with a contribution from the Town of Wake Forest to install it. It has been designed, funded and we are just waiting for installation. Hopefully in the very near future.

Excuse me for being blunt, but "in the very near future" is the same thing we have been hearing for a while now. Care to narrow that down a bit for us? Even better, is the job on NCDOT's planning schedule? If so, when?

Any updates?

Hello. Any updates to this issue?

Looks like late March, early April. They had done soil borings for the foundations two weeks ago, so it is progressing. Thank you for your question.

That is outstanding news - thank you for sharing it with us! Looking forward to seeing red/yellow/green lights in that intersection.

Hello - it is now May and there is no sign of this traffic light. Can you update us on an ETA, please? With the coming traffic from the Roger Rd. bridge replacement this traffic signal becomes even more important for safety.

"Looks like late March, early April" -- Looks like Mid-May and no work occurring. What is the status of this issue?

I wanted to be sure to say "THANK YOU" for finally getting this traffic light into place. Making a left turn from S. Franklin onto 98 is finally safe.
