Commission OK’s Contract for Pedestrian Signal Project

An agreement between Sheridan County and Modern Electric Company to install a county-supplied pedestrian activated rectangular rapid flashing beacon crosswalk system at Wyoming Highway 335 and Valley Road in Sheridan County has been approved and accepted by the county commission.

The project was discussed by County Engineer Ken Muller at the commission’s Tuesday meeting.

Muller explained that since the earlier improvements to the area, pedestrian traffic has increased and the roads are in-line with sunrise and sunsets and it is difficult for drivers to see, so this project is designed to make the area safer for pedestrians.

The amount to be paid to Modern Electric for the project is just over $10,500.
