Richardson West Glens Falls Fire Co. To: Queensbury Town Board: In behalf of the West Glens Falls Fire Company I am making a request for an additional traffic signal to be located at the east end of the firehouse on the Luzerne Rd. The original traffic light, which is controled from the firehouse and is activated when the fire equipment is re- sponding to an alarm, is located at the west end of the building. Since the firehouse has been expanded and the equipment is stored in the eastern section of the building, the present light is only of value to traffic headed east on Luzerne Rd. I am requesting the a light be installed over the road at the eastern end of the firehouse, thus with the two lights it will be safer for the motoring public and for the equipment responding to an alarm.
