New flashing pedestrian signal to be installed following concern

A new pedestrian signal will soon be installed on Kentucky Street near Western University's campus.

It's going to be a rapid flashing signal, similar to the one that's installed on campus on Normal Street.

The need for this pedestrian signal is in response to concerns raised by WKU for students crossing to the Autism Center and the parking lot.

Crews are expected to begin work on the new cross walk sometime next week.
