Public Service Announcement – New Traffic Signal at Exit 140 Near Buc-ee’s

🚦 Public Service Announcement – New Traffic Signal at Exit 140 Near Buc-ee’s 🚦

The City of Leeds is pleased to announce that the new traffic signal at Exit 140—located at the end of the I-20 East off-ramp, heading west toward Highway 78 and The Shops at Grand River—is now installed and flashing.

🔸 Flashing Mode: The signal will remain in flashing mode for approximately 7–14 days to allow drivers to adjust.
🔸 Full Operation: After this period, it will become fully operational, improving safety and traffic flow for motorists accessing key destinations such as The Shops at Grand River and Buc-ee’s.

This long-awaited safety upgrade addresses a high-traffic area that has been a concern for both residents and visitors for years. The computerized traffic light system will help move more vehicles safely across the intersection without long backups—making travel in and out of this busy corridor safer and more efficient.

The project follows the recent full LED lighting upgrade at Exit 140, which has greatly improved nighttime visibility and safety. These combined improvements reflect the City of Leeds’ commitment to proactive infrastructure development and traffic management.

📍 Reminder: Please drive with caution and be aware of the new signal when traveling through this intersection.

Leeds First Methodist Church

Leeds First Methodist Church - Sunday was another awesome day of worship at Leeds First Methodist. During our Modern Worship Service, we had the joy of seeing Spencer baptized. Our baptism liturgy says, "Through the sacrament of Holy Baptism, we are initiated into Christ's body as his holy church, we are incorporated into God's mighty acts of salvation, and we are given new birth through water and the Spirit. All this is God's gift to us, offered freely and without price." We praise God for Spencer and his whole family and look forward to all that God will continue to do in his life. This is the second time in just the last few weeks we've been witness to God's grace at work in the life of one of our children. We are so grateful for all that God is doing at Leeds First Methodist, and we'd love for you to come and be part of it! Contemporary: 8:45 AM | ✝️ Traditional: 11:00 AM, We offer ministries for all ages, including 👧 Children’s Ministry 👦 , Sunday Night Youth 👵 Seniors: Spice of Life (1st Wednesdays) 📞 (205) 699-8575 | 💻 leedsfirst.org 📺 .

With the Fall Term just a few weeks away, we are looking at our waitlist, our waitlist that has more than 125 children on it! The need is great, and you can help a child like Pablo ride this Fall. Donations from now until September 1st, your donation will be doubled thanks to a matching gift! Click here to give today. https://secure.givelively.org/.../give-to-provide-a...
“Socializing is hard, interacting with others can be overwhelming, and even maintaining balance is a challenge. I want Pablo to feel calm, safe, and accepted. I truly believe that being around the horses will help him feel more regulated and less anxious. I think riding will help. Most of all, I want him to feel like he belongs somewhere.”
