After years of lobbying and studies, traffic lights will be installed at the Highway 3 and Highway 36 intersection on Taber’s eastern edge. The project costs over 1.1 million dollars with the town paying half, timed near Wal Mart’s opening. Critics say near misses and costs raise questions about government priorities and Walmart leverage.
