Charles City, Iowa – A new signal traffic control box will be installed at Charles City’s main intersection.

City Administrator Steve Diers says issues with the technology have become a growing concern.

The council budgeted $15,000 for one at the 4^th Avenue and North Grand intersection, but with future construction at the location, the city is applying those funds at Main and Gilbert Streets.

The council approved a new fiber-ready, control box costing $17,835.

A $15,000 possible upgrade helps detect traffic flow with cameras.
