Background and Discussion:
Traffic signals are re-built to improve the operation of an intersection and better facilitate pedestrian activities. The existing signals use outdated and degrading equipment and do not accommodate pedestrian crossings. Re-building these signals will ensure the two intersections are brought up to compliance with current standards and provide pedestrian connectivity.
Expected Impact:
Re-building the traffic signals 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
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
