Background and Discussion:

The traffic signals at Woodforest Boulevard at Barbara Mae Boulevard and Woodforest Boulevard at Dell Dale are existing signals that are being rebuilt. The request for acquisition of the tracts would allow the contractor to conduct the necessary construction elements onto the existing properties that are outside of the County's Right-of-Way.

 

Expected Impact:

The approval of the tracts' acquisition would allow for the designed signal elements to be properly installed at the intersection.

 

Alternative Options:

One alternative option is not to obtain the necessary tracts. This will require extensive surveying and redesigning the signal layouts that will significantly delay the construction of the signals.
