Title: Funding for Installation of Traffic Signals Discussion/action: There are at least 10 intersections in the County where it has been determined that traffic signals need to be installed. For at least one of those intersections, the determination that a traffic signal was needed was made by the Transportation Department many years ago. The cost for installation is estimated to be between $2 - 2.8 million per signal. I have been advised that there is no current funding set aside to pay for these traffic signals to be installed. This is a significant safety and risk management concern. The Board needs to know the location of each one of these intersections. There also needs to be a plan developed for funding the installation of the traffic signals.

Title

Funding for Installation of Traffic Signals

Discussion/action: There are at least 10 intersections in the County where it has been determined that traffic signals need to be installed. For at least one of those intersections, the determination that a traffic signal was needed was made by the Transportation Department many years ago. The cost for installation is estimated to be between $2 - 2.8 million per signal.

 

I have been advised that there is no current funding set aside to pay for these traffic signals to be installed. This is a significant safety and risk management concern. The Board needs to know the location of each one of these intersections. There also needs to be a plan developed for funding the installation of the traffic signals.

 

The intent of this item is for the Board to get an initial report on these matters from the County Administrator, or her designee. Furthermore, it will be requested that a plan to prioritize the installation of each one of these traffic signals will be submitted to the Board for approval. The funding should come from the current budget and/or the budget for the next fiscal year. (District 1)
