A touch of Massachusetts

Oak Hill Avenue at Monroe Street
This is the village’s newest truss installation. Back in the early 1960s,a pagoda signal guarded this intersection; then a set of truss-mounted signals were installed in the early 1970s, about the time the old Endicott-Johnson factories were being demolished. This installation was erected in 1987, and offers some distinction with the “doghouse-style” traffic light on the left; it has yellow casings, and some of the doors are black, while all the visors are yellow (similar to some colorings of signals in Massachusetts). Note also the extension on the truss arm as well. This photo was taken 31 March 2002.
