A pedestrian signal first requested by the Ward 6 councillor in 2017 will be installed at Farnham and Cranbrook before the end of October.
The 2017 estimate was $86,000. The tendered price is $378,000. Transportation staff attribute the difference to a new traffic-signal standard, utility relocation, and eight years of construction inflation.
Three collisions involving pedestrians have been recorded at the intersection since the request was filed.
