Truck stop paying for additional traffic lights as part of development approval

A truck stop developer was required to pay for the installation of a new traffic light as a condition for getting their building plans approved. 

The new Fatdogs truck stop will soon open near the intersection of Highway 281 and interstate 80 in Grand Island, Nebraska. 

According to Local 4, the new traffic lights will be installed on Highway 281 and were deemed necessary by the Nebraska Department of Transportation. The new traffic lights are located at the Platte Street intersection with the truck stop to the west of them. 

An additional traffic signal will be installed on the I-80 westbound off ramp for traffic heading north. 

The stoplights are expected to go into use within the next month.
