As many have surely noticed, the college has been experiencing trouble with the traffic light at the front entrance on 96B.  The Facilities Maintenance department has been working diligently with electrical contractors to rectify the issue but at this time, the electrical issues with the light will require significant replacement of different controller components in order to restore it to its proper working order.  As soon as a timeline is available to share with the campus community regarding the traffic light's repair, an updated intercom announcement will be posted.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this issue has caused and would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while we correct this issue.
