🚦 New Temporary Traffic Signal Now Active at Wolfs Crossing & Fifth Street

A new temporary traffic signal is now in operation at the intersection of Wolfs Crossing and Fifth Street.

The temporary signals were installed by the Sonoma Trails developer in accordance with the annexation agreement, which requires a traffic signal once the south leg of the intersection opens.

The signals are now in place ahead of the school year to give residents, parents and school bus drivers time to become familiar with the updated traffic pattern before classes begin.

These temporary signals will remain in place until the long-term traffic signals can be installed on span wires.

Please use caution when traveling through the intersection and watch for the new traffic pattern.
