Traffic light poised to improve intersection

Traffic light poised to improve intersection

The city of Calabasas will install a new traffic signal on Parkway Calabasas at Paseo Primario.

Residents who spoke at a recent city council meeting strongly favored the traffic solution for safety reasons.

The city council had previously approved the installation of a signal, but hadn’t seen a design. The plan that was brought before council members passed unanimously.

City staff expects to begin construction on the project by next month. According to Calabasas Assistant Transportation Planner Tom Gdala, the work should take about one month to complete.

The next step is finding a contractor for the job, Gdala said.

Six months after the signal is installed, the city will examine traffic patterns to determine if the device is effective.
