\"\"(CSi) Mayor Dwaine Heinrich has received some public comments on the turning off the 5 Traffic signals on First Avenue in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s Wayne Byers Shown on CSi Cable 2, he said, \u00a0comments have included liking to drive through downtown on with fewer traffic red lights on First Avenue. Heinrich said he would have liked to have seen the traffic light still operational at the intersection with at 5th<\/sup> Street and First Avenue North leading to Highway 20.<\/p>\n

He also said he wanted to seen temporary striping on the pavement indicated where the Road Diet plans make lane changes including turning lanes.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that the Road Diet plans were developed by the North Dakota Department of Transportation, as First Avenue is part of Highway 281\/52, under control of the NDDOT, with the City of Jamestown having little if any influence on the project\u2019s design or implementation.<\/p>\n

He said at this point in the project that it would cost the city more dollars to halt the project than implement it, with NDDOT funding.<\/p>\n
