That funny blinking yellow arrow-light on 166th & 104th

The signal light on 104th Street & 166th Avenue by the Redmond Junior High is working! Councilman Margeson made the formal announcement in Council Chambers tonight.

Earlier today, Mayor Marchione, Councilman Margeson, Principal Barone, Public Works staff and some passing students celebrated the "lighting ceremony". Did anyone else participate? It would be a good story for the Redmond Reporter.

The signal is already famous for it's blinking yellow left-turn light. It's the only light of it's kind in town. The Mayor said the blinking yellow arrow light means "you can turn left if the coast is clear".

This funny yellow light has been quite the buzz on the Hill. The school "Parent Organizer" printed a blurb about it and soon parents were talking. Mayor Marchione said there was information of the signal on the city website. I hunted all over and couldn't find anything on the yellow arrow light. This is the best I could do...and the "google" image you see.

Do any of you have thoughts on the signal.....or the intersection in general? Aren't those sidewalk shrub plantings elegant? How about those richly painted light posts? Do you think the sidewalk ramps will work for bicyclists?
