The new traffic lights, at Jacklin Road and Terlane Avenue, and on Merchant Way near the TD Canada Trust entrance at Westshore Town Centre, are part of improvements required to accommodate new uses at the Belmont Market development currently under construction on the old Belmont Secondary school site, said Michelle Mahovlich, director of engineering fr the City of Langford. The new traffic signals are part of the conditions required for the rezoning, and are paid for by the developer, she added.

Several businesses are slated to open on Monday, Jan. 21
