Traffic signals at the intersection of 56th Avenue and Summitview Avenue will be shut down temporarily during the morning on Wednesday, May 23rd for about three hours while City of Yakima crews make wiring changes to accommodate flashing yellow arrow operations.
Between 9:00 am and about noon on May 23rd, the signals at the 56th Avenue and Summitview Avenue intersection will not be working.
