Thursday, Nov. 10, 2016 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page A-9 " team on crossing l By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncoun cam Pedestrian safety could improve near the Transit- Community Center in down- town Shelton, thanks to an agreement between the city of Shelton and Mason Transit Authority (MTA). The Shelton City Commis- sion on Monday night agreed to an interlocal agreement with MTA to install blinking pedestrian crossing lights near the center. MTA will buy two sets of solar LED pedestrian cross- ing systems, to be installed in front of the Transit Center on Franklin Street, and at the in- tersection of Sixth Street and Railroad Avenue. The city will own the two systems and provide all the materials and labor to install them. During the five-year agreement, the city cannot remove or relocate the pedes- trian crossing systems without MTA's approval. The interlocal agreement also agrees that the city and MTA cannot be held liable for interruption in the service of the pedestrian lights during the following conditions: "acts of God, civil or military author- ity, acts of the public enemy, terrorism, bomb threats, com- puter virus, epidemic, power outage, acts of war, accidents, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, failure of transporta- tion, machinery, or supplies, vandalism, strikes or work in- terruptions by the employees of any party." The $10 million transit cen- tered opened in April 2015• The Transit-Community Center project began in 2006, when MTA purchased the 57-year-old building from the National Guard. Two years later, the state gave a $235,000 community project grant for an engineering/design study that determined the building was a good candidate for renovation and preservation. In 2011, MTA received a $3.28 million Federal Tran- sit Administration grant. Two years ago, it received a federal grant for almost $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
