Well, if 3M can make traffic signals, then I guess Singer can as well. :Tongue1:
What else does 3M make?

Tape, reflective sheeting for signs, cats-eye reflectors, thermoplastic pavement markings, connectors, window insulation kits, picture hangers, etc...

Maybe they'll reenter the traffic signal business.

If they do, it likely won't be with their PV signals. PV signals are a mighty expensive solution for a rather niece market, as most places just use louvers or extra long visors to limit visibility (or even in some cases, rotate the visors 90 degrees).
They/Them for me, please.

Well, at least it's only foot traffic and not automobile traffic, so that grade would probably last for a lot longer time.

I was referring to kind of the who area, like how the tracks run so close to the road and that little pedestrian crossing is for an entrance to that building. I just thought it was kind of a unique area.

Well 20 years ago, that area would have probably looked more "normal" for being near railroad tracks, as those are newer buildings.

Those tracks may not actually be in service anymore, if you go down farther...
