A new traffic signal will be going up at the intersection of Brown Road and Wilmington Pike near the Cornerstone of Centerville to help aid with the traffic flow created by the retail center.

“When they widened Wilmington Pike for Costco, the people that lived in the end of Browns Run and the school buses had trouble getting out onto Wilmington to make a left turn safely,” Greene County engineer Robert Geyer said.

The signal will cost between $150,000 and $200,000 and is expected to be operational before the start of the 2017-2018 school year. The signal will be owned by Centerville, but paid for by the Greene County engineers office.

“We did a traffic study and it determined it warranted a signal. I couldn’t get anybody else to do it. Even though it’s in the city of Centerville, I’m paying for the signal to get it up because it’s protecting the residents of Greene County,” Geyer said.
