In April, city officials said they wanted to beautify the Rt. 82-Pearl intersection and make it easier for pedestrians to cross. The project will include the addition of ADA-compliant curb ramps, refuge islands and pedestrian signals to help walkers cross the intersection. Traffic signals will be hung on mast arms and drainage around the intersection will be improved, officials said on the city website.
