Question:

Good Afternoon,

Firstly, I’d like to thank you. A while back I asked if you could put crosswalks on MLK Dr and a little while later you actually had it done and it’s a lot safer and easier to cross the street now. So thank you for that.

I have a question regarding an intersection in town.When coming from Hurley toward main street can you put a right turning green arrow or allow right turns on red? I’m talking about the time period when cars are coming from Lexington toward Clifton on Main St and they have the left arrow. I see no reason why the cars on Clifton making a right onto rt 88 can’t turn then. It would be similar to what happens with cars going from Clifton to Madison on Main st that have a right turning green arrow while the cars going south on Madison have a left turning green arrow onto Main St.

Thank you

Response from Mayor Coles:

I’m glad the crosswalk markings helped.

I will ask the county to consider installing a turn arrow there.

Thanks

Ray
