Background and Discussion:

Traffic signals are installed to improve the operations of an intersection and better facilitate pedestrian activities. As such, the consultant will be tasked with the signal design of the intersection and an evaluation of left turn lane storage to improve operations. The consultant will also be tasked with evaluating pedestrian accessibility through the provision of crosswalks and associated median nose opening adjustments required to facilitate pedestrian activities.

 

Expected Impact:

The installation of the new traffic signal should improve the operation of the intersection.

 

Alternative Options:

To not install the signal at the intersection, which will not offer the associated operational and pedestrian benefits.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety
