Public safety improvements are being made for visually impaired pedestrians in Harrisonburg.
Public Works crews began working today on an upgrade of pedestrian signals to audible pedestrian signals, starting with those on Port Republic Road – at the Devon Lane intersection and the intersection with Neff Avenue and Peach Grove Road.
These two are the first of many pedestrian signals that will be upgraded between now and April. Improvements have already been made in the Downtown District, improving the ability of pedestrians with visual impairments to cross the street safely.
The work is made possible with the help of a VDOT Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant.
