The City Council approved the traffic signal to be installed at the corner of 129th Avenue Southeast and Newcastle Way, near what will be the entrance to the Newcastle Library.
The council approved the signal with a 5-1 vote, with Councilman Rich Crispo dissenting and Councilman Sonny Putter absent.
Crispo cited concerns with the overhead rate off the project, which he said was three times higher than is typical in private industry.

A traffic signal at that intersection is a great idea and long overdue, even without the library. It’s become a major intersection with lots of pedestrian traffic. Thumbs up City Council.
