Winchester Signals Fall Short Of Promises On Dowtown Timings
Four weeks into the new downtown traffic signal timings set by Tesco Inc the city still sees no improvement. Acting City Engineer Gary Lofton says the timings are approved on paper awaiting signoff from Bryant Electric and state highway officials in Richmond. A 30 day test has not begun and a city attorney report on potential grounds to sue the contractor is awaited. Lord Fairfax Community College’s enrollment report shows eight of 23 schools inflated with no systemic padding, LFCC reporting minor deficiencies yet expected to exceed 2000 students this fall.
