Bill Conklin, the Managing Director of the ICRD, spoke about the Jolly and Okemos Road Intersection Project. At the meeting, when asked about how the new right turn lanes that will be added will affect signal timing he said, "there is always an ongoing effort to keep those optimized... we're always looking to improve signal timing. The funding certainly helps to replace older equipment."
