CLAY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The NewsChannel 9 Your Stories team is getting results.
Neighbors in Clay contacted the team, fed up with a 'dangerous' intersection where crashes kept happening. It's the corner of Caughdenoy Road and Maple Road, right off exit 2 of I-481 northbound.
'What do we have to have, somebody die?' Mike Greco asked back in February.
NewsChannel 9's Rachel Polansky went for a drive with Greco to see the challenges firsthand. Greco pointed out what he called blind spots, poor lighting, and confusing signs.
NewsChannel 9 pulled the records. In the last two years, there have been at least eight crashes at the intersection, according to the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
In February, the Department of Transportation promised us they would take action and add a temporary traffic signal. Today, they kept that promise.
NewsChannel 9 was there as crews got to work, installing poles and attaching lights.
Neighbors hope the new traffic signal will bring relief and direction to drivers navigating the busy intersection.
The NYSDOT tells NewsChannel 9 it will keep monitoring this intersection to see if a permanent traffic signal or other safety improvements should be considered.
