Traffic Signal Near Riverside Drive Synagogue May Be Removed
Binghamton officials once again are considering removing a traffic signal located at an intersection near a synagogue on the West Side.
The city traffic board, which is chaired by Deputy Mayor Jared Kraham, considered eliminating the signal at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Murray Street in 2018.
But signs have again been installed at the intersection indicating the signal may be pulled.
In an email, Kraham wrote there continued to be operational issues with the light that were causing traffic issues. He said the signal was malfunctioning and going to flashing yellow or its timings were off.
