Solar Powered Pedestrian Crossing Beacons Installed on Forest Hill Avenue

The City recently installed Solar Powered Pedestrian Crossing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Systems at two intersections for Forest Hill Avenue:  41st Street and Forest Hill Avenue and 43rd Street and Forest Hill Avenue.
