FATALITY Man,25,killedincollision CHPreportsays17-year-olddriver was intoxicated at time of accident By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF Let there be flash- ing lights. The Public Works Depart- ment here intends to repro- gram the traffic lights at the in- tersection of Walnut and Jack- son streets back to a four-way flashing red stop signal. According to a staff report prepared by Public Works Di- rector Bruce Henz that the City Council will hear Tuesday, the move should improve traffic flow in the area near the Dol- lar General market. The traffic lights provide four-way "red, yellow, green traffic controls with additional timing delays that allow left turning movements," accord- ing to the staff report. The traffic lights had been reprogrammed to a four-way flashing red operation for an extended period of time follow- ing a traffic accident that dam- aged a signal pole and mast arm extension, according to the report. "The traffic functions within the intersection and the delays typically experienced by traf- fic heading in all directions re- mained operationally accept- able; and actually appeared to improve," according to the re- port. Henz could not be reached for comment Thursday, but at the City Council's meeting on Jan. 6 he said the city was re- viewing its options for the traf- fic signal. He said he'd heard "half peo- ple who like it one way and half the other." Council member Rob Schmid showed support for reverting the traffic signal during the meeting, saying traffic flowed better at the intersection as a four-way stop. "At this point it certainly does," Henz said. According to the staff re- port, the city has the option to "reprogram back to nor- mal signal operation in the future." It was unclear exactly when the traffic lights would be re- programmed.
