Springfield nears completion on a $673,000 pedestrian safety project at the city library crossing.

Springfield is nearing completion on a $673,000 project to enhance pedestrian safety at the State Street crossing in front of the city's library, after several fatal incidents. The improvements, part of a citywide initiative, include a modern crossing system with a raised crosswalk, a central island, and a pedestrian-activated red light. This project, ongoing since 2019, has seen about 25-30 similar changes across the city, aiming to save lives and prevent future accidents.
