G8.1 Project title:
|
City Wide Traffic Signal Vehicle Detection (Phase 1)
|
|
G8.2 Project description: |
Install vehicle detection at intersections city wide. This work includes, but is not limited to, vehicle detection devices, pedestrian detection devices and pedestrians signal heads (as needed), as well as ADA pedestrian ramps (as needed). Intersections include Main at Cleaver, Main at 51st, Westport at Broadway, Hardesty at Truman, Armour at Warwick, Armour at Gillham, Paseo at 63rd, Broadway at Knickerbocker.
Installing vehicular detection will reduce unnecessary wait times for vehicles at these intersections, and therefore reduce emissions.

G8.4 Purpose and need:
|
Installing vehicle and pedestrian detection will improve traffic flow and safety at the listed intersections.
The vehicle detection will allow for unused signal green time to be allocated to the approach with the current vehicle demand. This will reduce motorists wasted time at a red signal indication, and thus reduce emissions.
Pedestrian detection for existing crosswalks are required, if new vehicle detection is to be installed. Four (4) of the eight (8) intersections listed have crosswalks, but do not have pedestrian detection. Installing new pedestrian detectors (and ramps), in accordance with APS/ADA practices, will enable vehicle detection to be installed, as well as enhance safety at these 4 intersections.

|
|
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 more efficient traffic signals and therefore improves traffic flow along the corridor that provides access to, from and within the activity center. In addition, more efficient use of traffic signal green time can lower vehicle emissions, improving the environment and air quality.
|
|
G25. Environmental justice tracts?
|
Yes
Project supports more efficient traffic signals and therefore improves traffic flow along the corridor that provides access to and from the environmental justice tracts.
|
|
G26. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions?
|
Yes
Vehicle detection will allow the traffic signals to operate more efficiently, and thus reduce motorist delay. This reduced delay will also reduce vehicle emissions.
|
|
G27. Natural Resource information:
|

|
G28. Community Links at Watershaed Scale:
|
|
|
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
Project reduces fuel consumption due to delay at traffic signals and thereby promotes efficiency of resources.
