G8.1 Project title:
|
Paseo Blvd Traffic Signal Fiber Interconnect
|
|
G8.2 Project description: |
Construction of traffic signal fiber optics to interconnect traffic signals along Paseo Blvd. Install equipment necessary for the Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS), including but not limited to fiber optic interconnect system, energy efficient 332L cabinets, 2070 LX controllers, PTZ traffic monitoring camera system. Accessible Pedestrian Signals may be installed at select locations along the corridor. Detection equipment and protected-permissive phasing is proposed to be modified for improved efficiency in addition to reducing delay, traffic crashes and gas consumption.

G8.4 Purpose and need:
|
The purpose of this proposal would be to interconnect 10 multi-jurisdictional traffic signals with fiber optics along a busy north-south corridor in Kansas City which would allow for optimum timing coordination and remote monitoring. Reduction in harmful emissions could be realized by reducing unneeded delay for motorists.

Yes
|
|
G18. Other unique local goals and objectives?
|
Yes
This project will support local goal to enhance the efficiency of the traffic signal operations along the Paseo corridor. The project will satisfy the Citys goal of installing accessible pedestrian signals at some of the traffic signals along the corridor as well as energy efficient power supplies for the traffic signal cabinets.

|
G22.1. Describe CSP relationship:
|
Incorporate Accessible Pedestrian Signals into the signalized intersections, improving pedestrian access and safety. Coordinating the traffic signals along the entire corridor encouraging a safe speed limit for vehicles. Update the pedestrian timing for safer and more consistency along the corridor.
|
|
G23. Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
No
|
|
G24. Serves Regional Activity Center?
|
Yes
High-Intensity and More_Walkable Centers
Project supports coordinated traffic signals and there by improves traffic flow along the corridor that provides access to, from and within the activity center. In addition, coordinated traffic signals can lower vehicle emissions thereby improving the environment and air quality.
|
|
G25. Environmental justice tracts?
|
Yes
Project supports coordinated traffic signals and there by improves traffic flow along the corridor that provides access to and from the environmental justice tracts.
|
|
G26. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions?
|
Yes
By having 10 Traffic Signals along this minor arterial interconnected with fiber, Traffic Engineers will be able to coordinate the signal timing of the corridor, while remotely monitoring traffic flow with cameras, reducing delays and the number of vehicle hours spent at unnecessary red lights, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

|
G29. Explain local land use or comprehensive plans:
|
This project will satisfy the Citys goal of improving traffic progression and safety. This project includes segments of roadway identified as an Established Boulevard in the Citys Major Street Plan which was adopted by ordinance 110249 on October 23, 2011.
|
|
G30.1 Complies with MARC’s CSP?
|
Yes
|
|
G30.2 Exception to the MARC CSP?
|
No
This project supports upgrade of traffic signal power supplies to improve energy efficiency. Project will improve pedestrian walkability by providing accessible pedestrian signals and by updating pedestrian signal timing. Project will support and enhance the Paseo Gateway project. Project reduces fuel consumption due to delay at traffic signals and thereby promotes efficiency of resources.
