A new signal mast has been installed in front of 320 N. West St. to warn drivers to slow down when approaching J-H School when the amber lights are flashing. The signal mast has one of these environmentally vogue solar panels attached to it. Unfortunately, the solar panel is totally enveloped by the leaf canopy of the nearby street tree, so it can't get any sunlight to function. Nevertheless, city hall will tout it as an example of how Alexandria is an "eco-city."
