Tri-Cities City Council approved the installation of 15 new traffic signals at high-traffic intersections during a July 15, 2026, meeting. The decision aims to reduce vehicle collisions at intersections that have seen an increase in accidents over the past year. The council cited data showing a 20% rise in collisions at the targeted locations. The project, expected to cost $450,000, will begin construction in September 2026 and be completed by December 2026. The city's Public Works Department will oversee the work.
