Background and Discussion:
Traffic signals are re-built to improve the operation of an intersection and better facilitate pedestrian activities. The existing signal uses outdated and degrading equipment and does not accommodate pedestrian crossings. Re-building this signal will ensure the intersection is brought up to compliance with current standards and provide pedestrian connectivity.

Expected Impact:
Re-building the traffic signal will bring the infrastructure to current standards and specifications and reduce overall maintenance cost. It will also significantly reduce the risk of failure during a catastrophic event.

Alternative Options:
To continue to maintain the existing traffic signal and slowly replace degrading parts as they fail. This may
potentially be more costly and incurs a risk of failure due to aging infrastructure.

Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
x Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
