Traffic signal at 25th St. and Bill McDonald to be turned on Thursday

The new traffic signal at the intersection of 25th St. and Bill McDonald Parkway, near the Buchanan Towers residence hall at the south end of the Western Washington University campus, is set to be turned on at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 14.

A lot of Western students cross Bill McDonald Parkway from the Happy Valley area, and the improvements to pedestrian, bicycle, bus and car access should increase the safety of the intersection.
