Why did it take so long to turn on the stop light at Rosedale and Renfro?

Q: The intersection of Rosedale Highway and Renfro Road was widened last summer in preparation for a light. The lights were installed this fall and it appears that the intersection is complete, yet they have still have not been turned on. Why? This is a busy and dangerous intersection that would greatly benefit from the lights on. What gives?
— Margaret Palmer

A: Traffic lights can take time to build because they often involve other road improvements, plus there can be delays in getting them energized by Pacific Gas and Electric Co.


The traffic light at Rosedale and Renfro was turned on Feb. 25, said Jose Camarena, a public information officer for the California Department of Transportation.

Cal Trans is also working on a traffic signal at Rosedale and Heath Road, he said.

That light may be operational in about six weeks.

 It seems like it always takes several months to turn on a traffic signal.  They built one at Merle Haggard Dr. (formerly 7th Standard Rd.) and Industry Parkway Dr. last summer and didn't turn it on until (I think) December.
