Background and Discussion:

The project involves intersection Improvements and signal pre-emption improvements at the intersection of Stuebner Airline Road and Hufsmith Kuykendahl Road. The project impacts the Union Pacific Railroad crossing, and coordination will be required to accommodate the necessary railroad improvements associated with the Improvement.

 

Expected Impact:

Traffic signals are installed to improve the operation of an intersection and better facilitate pedestrian activities.

 

Alternative Options:

This location currently operates as a multi-way stop-controlled intersection. An alternative is to not signalize the intersection, which will not provide operational and pedestrian benefits.
