COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS — Construction crews will begin installing a new crosswalk signal on Fort Union Boulevard near Mountview Park on Thursday.

The overhead flashing beacon will have push buttons on each side of Fort Union Boulevard, enabling pedestrians to alert traffic prior to crossing the roadway.

The beacons will consist of one flashing yellow light above each travel lane and a crosswalk warning sign arranged on an overhead signal arm. The beacons will only be activated when a pedestrian pushes the button.
