The controversial light in Camp Richardson that ended up backing up traffic more than it helped pedestrians has been discontinue indefinitely.

Caltrans and its transportation partners are working on other ways to manage traffic through the corridor, including using flaggers for traffic control at the intersection on busy weekends, installing new crosswalk signs and implementing new entry and exit procedures for local beaches this summer.

The light will remain off until at least after the Highway 89 Recreation Corridor Management Plan is completed in 2019.
