Background and Discussion:

Rebuilding the traffic signal at the intersection of Imperial Valley Drive and Doubletree Glen Drive is a project that aims to enhanced traffic movements at the existing intersection. The service outlet location statement is needed to establish electrical service from CenterPoint Energy, LLC to power the traffic signal.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval of the service outlet location statement will allow CenterPoint Energy, LLC to establish electrical service to the traffic signal, which is needed to enhance the operation of the intersection of Imperial Valley Drive and Doubletree Glen Drive.

 

Alternative Options:

All Traffic Signals require a power source, which is typically obtained through CenterPoint Energy, LLC. Alternative options are to place a generator, which is not reliable, or to not install traffic signals at the intersection. Both options will negatively impact operations and increase delay of the intersection.
