Signal 2054A: New York Avenue at Bloomingdale's Entrance

Signal 2054A is the 3-way signal operating at the intersection of New York Avenue and the main entrance to the parking dale in front of the Bloomingdale's store at the Whitman Mall. The signal is a modern LED on mast arms.

History
2054A was originally a privately owned traffic signal owned by the Walt Whitman Management, who own the Walt Whitman Mall. Signal 2053A was also owned by the company and 2055A to the south was owned by a different business venture. All signals were built in 1962 or 1963. In 1972, all three signals were transferred over to the Town of Huntington and given their designations.

Design
The first design of 2054A was a span wire incad bulb signal, all heads were 8" with a 12" green left turn arrow for northbound traffic to enter the mall. There was also a crosswalk on the north side controlled by pushbuttons and an additional regular signal head on an auxilary post facing east bound so pedestrians can see the light change when to cross safely.

The 2012 design saw the signal upgrade to 12" LED lights with the turn arrow becoming a bi-model arrow, the previous signal lacked a yellow warning arrow. All detection was moved to overhead, with 2 singular traffic systems video cameras detecting presence in the left turn lane and the side street only, New York Avenue is in recall. The signal was also equipped with 2 wireless radios, one facing north to communicate with 2053A, and another facing south to communicate with 2055A (which was reconstructed in the summer of 2018).
