SUMMARY: Springville, a small town in St. Clair County, has introduced its first traffic signal at the busy intersection of Murphree’s Valley Road and Highway 11, previously managed by a four-way stop. Longtime residents are adjusting to this significant change, with some struggling to adapt to the green light concept. The town’s population has grown by 28% since 2010, now exceeding 5,000, attracting newcomers seeking its small-town charm and low crime rate. Residents express appreciation for the revitalization of downtown businesses, reflecting a blend of traditional values and modern developments in the community.
