Legislators fund W. Main st. ornamental traffic signal poles

          Representative Terry Schooley and Senator Liane Sorenson have agreed to use funds from their respective Community Transportation Fund accounts to install four ornamental traffic signal poles at the intersection of West Main Street and Hillside Road in Newark. The new poles are part of Delaware Department of Transportation’s repaving of Main Street this summer.
           “DelDOT originally proposed standard silver poles, which residents felt were out of character with the surrounding neighborhood. Rep. Schooley and I agreed,” said Sorenson. “After studying different options, we thought these black ornamental poles will be in keeping with the historic nature of West Main Street, which is the site of some of the oldest homes in the City.”
           “The current configuration of wires and poles does not comply with code, and will lose its ‘grandfathered’ status because a utility pole must be removed as part of the repaving,” added Schooley. “These ornamental poles are appropriate at an intersection which is one of the gateways to downtown Newark.”
           The poles should be installed this fall.
