The pedestrian crosswalk lights at Cree Road and Thompson Drive North are now in operation.

The crosswalk lights are the city’s first solar powered traffic lights.

Wayne Koversky with Public Works says the installation of the lights at the intersection, started in the fall of last year.

He says the department will keep an eye on the solar powered pedestrian lights for the next year, to determine whether they are a good fit for future crosswalks in the city.
