Conroe City Council members ap- proved awarding a contract to Third Coast Services LLC during a Jan. 27 meeting to install flashing yellow ar- rows and make minor intersection ad- justments at 21 existing intersections in the city of Conroe. The contract awarded includes 150 days for the project to be substantially complete and 190 days for construction to be fully complete, city officials said. The approved project is Phase 2 of an initiative to install flashing yellow ar- rows at intersections and is in addition to 27 locations where signals were modified last year to include a yellow flashing arrow, said Thomas Woolley, director of capital projects and trans- portation for the city, during a Jan. 26 City Council workshop meeting. “These flashing yellow lights are helping move traffic along in town, and adding 21 additional intersections will help improve the mobility across town,” Mayor Jody Czajkoski said during the workshop.
