PA CMT Description:
|
Improved Safety of Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities – The updated ADA compliant pedestrian crossings will improve pedestrian safety at the project intersections. The ADA upgrades will provide for a safer pedestrian route by updating to audible push buttons, installing countdown pedestrian signals and updating pedestrian timing at select project intersections.
Communications Networks and Roadway Surveillance Coverage – The fiber installation and equipment upgrades will provide the necessary foundation to support all operational activities. The upgrades will allow for intersection monitoring and timing changes to be made from the TOC.
Traffic signal coordination and modernization – The improved communication to the signals will allow for better traffic coordination, which will result in improved traffic flow and reduced emissions by minimizing stops on arterial streets.

PA Pre-application Statement Text:
|
The scope of the work is the same. The Are you adding a travel lane longer than 1/2 mile? question was answered "yes" on the pre-application and has been changed to "no," as there will not be any no travel lanes added. Other than that, there are no changes to what was submitted on the pre-application.

G5 Purpose and need:
|
The purpose of this project is to coordinate traffic signals along an arterial that was part of the 2019 Planning Sustainable Places Projects (Linwood Corridor Complete Street and Bikeway Connections Plan). The project will improve capacity and safety by providing improved signal operation and progression through improve signal communication, as well as updated ADA compliant pedestrian crossings. These signal upgrades improve pedestrian safety and will help provide the foundation that future multi-modal enhancements are built upon. The ADA upgrades will provide for a more pedestrian accessible route by updating to audible push buttons, installing countdown pedestrian signals and updating pedestrian timing.

G20 Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
Yes
The projects limits are part of the 2019 Planning Sustainable Places Projects (Linwood Corridor Complete Street and Bikeway Connections Plan). This project does not address specific strategies identified within the plan, but the upgrade of signal communications and signal equipment can accommodate future bicycle needs (exclusive bike signals) if needed.
