During the fire board’s meeting yesterday evening (Monday, Feb. 22), fire chief John Callahan said a representative from the Missouri Department of Transportation said that if the district wants a traffic light on the highway near the fire station, the district would have to fund the $150,000 project.
That’s too much money, Callahan said.
The station sits on Park Drive, across the highway from Quik Trip.
When a fire truck needs to head to a call, fire truck drivers can have difficulty pulling out into highway traffic.
If the fire district did fund the light, it would not be a regular traffic light. The fire district would control the light, and traffic would only stop when a fire truck needed to leave for a call.
But considering the fire district doesn’t plan to spend $150,000 on the project, don’t expect to see this light.
If anything develops with this, I’ll let you know.
