I know the article is not about the album Synchronicity by the band Police. It is one of my favorite albums in its original "record" form. I will listen to it again and think about Lowell and Paul's comments. I missed it the first time. I know the article is not about the album Synchronicity by the band Police.

Transportation Engineer Eric Eby and our consulting design engineers from VHB deserve the credit for this one though. They were able to identify and effectively employ a relatively new technology that allowed these signals to be effectively synchronized. Previous efforts that were affordable were ineffective and previous approaches that would have worked proved far too costly. With respect to PaulL's comment, the VFW and Bridge Street is a state intersection so the City can't address it on our own. However, the good news is that the state is designing a comprehensive improvement to it that should be implemented over the next few years. Thank you for posting this Paul.

I t is faster to go up and over christian hill and emerge at Duck island than to sit and wait on Bridge st. Maybe now someone can do something about the lights at Bridge st and the VFW highway.
