New Traffic Light System On Whiskey Road
Aiken installs about 17 new traffic signals funded by a federal grant with 80 percent from federal sources and 10 percent each from the state and city. Eddie George, city Public Safety Maintenance Supervisor, is a certified traffic signal technician overseeing the project. He compares the old system to a monolithic bureaucracy where no department knows what another is doing, causing delays.
