The traffic lights are up and they are about to turn green. The new traffic lights at Hoover Park and Mostar Street in Stouffville are expected to be operation any day.

The light cost the town approximately $200,000.

Last year, Ward 4 Coun. Rick Upton said anything that could be done to speed up the process to have it in place when school returns next September would be beneficial. While the intersection does have two crossing guards, parents have raised safety concerns as they take children to the nearby Oscar Peterson Public School.

The traffic study used in the report said the intersection in question sees traffic volumes of more than 80,000 cars a week.  The intersection wasn’t due for a light until 2021, but the town has moved that timeline forward to address concerns.
