This week I am working on a story over the recently signalized intersections of Stadium and Maple and Maple and Razorback, and the intersections that are planned to receive signalized stops in the near future. The story will examine the reason for implementing these stoplights, the process the University has to go through in order to get these stops made as well as the benefits hoped to be achieved through the installation. Mike Johnson, the Associate Vice Chancellor of Facilities Management, here at the UofA spoke with me about his department’s participation in these projects as well as what future projects they have in the works.
