Stop signs have been temporary placed at each stop at the intersection of Kirkwood Avenue and Rogers Street.

The intersection of Kirkwood Avenue and Rogers Street is operating as a four-way stop until the end of the month.

Workers are replacing the existing traffic signal and making curb ramp improvements, according to a press release.

Drivers should be prepared to stop in all directions, use caution and allow additional time when traveling through the area. The new traffic signal is set to be operational by Oct. 24.

Improvements are part of the city’s Grimes, Kirkwood, Patterson, and Rogers Project.

The project covers improvements for South Rogers Street from West Patterson Drive to West Third Street, but omitting the section between West First and West Second streets. Other safety improvements include asphalt pavement resurfacing, sidewalk repair and sign replacement/installation.

The project previously received $1 million in funding from the Community Crossings Matching Grant program.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
