STOPLIGHT COMING TO INTERSECTION AT NORTHEASTERN SCHOOLS

(Fountain City, IN)--It’s the news that lots of Northeastern parents have waited years to hear.  "I'm pleased to announce that we're getting a stoplight at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Wallace Road," said Northeastern Superintendent Jennifer O’Brien to the district's Board.  Preliminary work is already going on.  "If you've seen the Department of Transportation, that's what they're doing - they're surveying the area and preparing," O'Brien explained.  But, the stoplight won’t be up and operational anytime soon.  It could take as long as three years to be installed.  Several attempts in previous years to get a light at the intersection failed.
