Kendall Yards Intersection Getting A Traffic Signal

Kendall Yards while still under cosntruction.
A potentially dangerous intersection in Spokane is about to get a new traffic light. With construction of the Kendall Yards development north of the Spokane River, an increase in traffic has been noticed, along with more people traveling via foot or bike. In response, the developer of Kendall Yards is paying to install the signal.

The Spokesman-Review has more on why this is not only good for those trying to cross the street but also those trying to get out into traffic in vehicles.
