WATERTOWN â For the past six years, local activist Patricia A. Whalen has lobbied hard for a traffic light at a busy downtown intersection. Itâs the same intersection, near Arcade and Arsenal streets, where a city police car was involved in a crash on March 29 and ended up on its side.
On Monday night, she found out for the first time that the city is looking into whether a traffic light should be installed at the intersection, near where passengers get on and off CitiBuses.
City Manager Kenneth A. Mix said a consultant working on a traffic light project in and around Public Square will evaluate whether a traffic light should be installed there.
