SKOWHEGAN --Frustrated motorists who live on the west side of town will soon get a response to their complaints about the traffic lights at the intersection of Madison Avenue and High and Pleasant streets.

A left-hand turn signal will be installed at the traffic light for northbound traffic near the Cumberland Farms store some time around Labor Day, Road Commissioner Gregory Dore said.

Beverly Fitzsimmons led a petition drive for the turn signal more than four years ago and garnered more than 75 signatures at the time. She's been asking for the change ever since. She couldn't be more pleased.

"Now we won't have to sit through four lights waiting for a chance to go," the Bennett Avenue resident said Thursday. "It's been awful. To get to your house if you lived in that area, you had to either sit through four lights, go down Water Street and loop around onto High Street, or take a chance and hop onto Spring Street" in front of fast-moving southbound traffic on Madison Avenue.
