New traffic light at River Street and Highway 23
Finally, after several years waiting, Fillmore has its new traffic light at the intersection of Highway 23 and River Street. The new light is expected to greatly relieve traffic congestion at the site, especially vehicles leaving River Street during high volume periods. Peter Kobus, Estimator for PTM Engineering, told the Gazette that the system can cost between $175,000 to $220,000. This light is synchronized with the light at the intersection of Ventura Street (Highway 126) and Highway 23. It is also fitted with an electronic device which can change a red light to green, permitting emergency vehicles quick access through the intersection.
