Traffic Light Vine St. & E. 317 St.

We have received several complaints in regards to the traffic light at the Vine St. and E. 317 St. intersection. The light is in recall mode due to a loop that was broken when Lake County Utilities repaired a water break there. This light will be fixed when LCDU begins their Waterline Project on Vine St. We have no time estimate on this project and appreciate your patience please use caution.
