Still Waiting for crossing lights

Crossing guard David Ruddy (far right) stops traffic for Luverne students Friday afternoon at the intersection of Dodge Street and Highway 75. “We hoped the project would have been completed last fall when electricity and foundations were in place,” said Luverne City Administrator John Call. Since then, contractors have been waiting for the parts to the rectangular rapid flashing beacons to arrive. Similar crossing lights will be placed on Highway 75 at Barck Street, eliminating the need for crossing guards.
