Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Reconstruction
The purpose of this project is to upgrade and enhance traffic signals and street lighting in the Broadway / West End Avenue corridor. These upgrades will allow infrastructure to perform at maximum efficiency while reducing maintenance activity. Ten (10) signalized intersections will be completely reconstructed along with replacement of 170 street lights. Specific elements of design will include traffic signals with black mast arms, LED vehicular and pedestrian signals, additional pedestrian indications, and replacement of nonconforming curb ramps.
