Request for approval of a certain project, decreeing the project to be a public necessity and convenience, and directing the Harris County Real Property Division to acquire one (1) traffic signal easement tract for the public project known as Traffic Signal - Imperial Valley Dr. at Doubletree Glen Dr. - 2023, for the purpose of installation of a traffic signal, UPIN 23101MF2XP01, Precinct 1.
end
Background and Discussion:
A traffic study was conducted at Imperial Valley Drive at Doubletree Glen Drive, which warranted a traffic signal at the intersection. The traffic signal will enhance safety as it relates to the intersection operations.
Expected Impact:
The installation of the new traffic signal will improve the operations and public safety of the intersection.
Alternative Options:
Intersections are evaluated in accordance with the 2011 Texas Manual on Uniform Control Devices (TMUTCD), which takes into consideration traffic volume, crashes, pedestrian activity, and the roadway network. The intersection was evaluated, and a traffic signal was warranted. Another option is to install multi-way stop control. However, this is recommended as an interim measure while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal per the Texas Manual on Uniform Control Devices (TMUTCD).
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
X Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
