installation of a four-way stoplight with protective turn lights for motorists turning left onto Vista del Lago;
lengthening of existing left-turn lanes;
widening of the roadway and intersection to accommodate commercial vehicles;

improving the efficiency of travel and traffic safety at this intersection to reduce the likelihood of broad-side collisions.

The project is scheduled to be completed in August 2017. This $1.4 million project has been awarded to George Reed, Inc.
