DDOT has also sent us a Notice of Intent to convert the traffic signal at 11th and Constitution to a stop sign in order to improve safety. If it goes forward, traffic signals will be flashing red for 90 days while a safety evaluation is conducted. Please see additional details in the NOI <a href="https://ddotwiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NI/pages/2194046977/NOI-23-49-TESD">here</a>.
