BUDGET AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution Creating CIP PS 23- 01 City- Wide Traffic Systems and Safety Upgrades Project, and
Approve Related Budget Amendment
SUMMARY:
Staff is proposing the creation of Capital Improvement Project ( CIP) PS 23- 01 CityWide Traffic Systems and Safety Upgrades Project for various upgrades that will maintain and improve the reliability, safety and function of various traffic control devices in the City. These upgrades will include the replacement of obsolete traffic controllers, installation of video & radar detection systems, communication upgrades, and safety upgrades including guard rails, signs, striping and bicycle facilities.
Staff is requesting that City Council approve the creation of CIP PS 23- 01 City- Wide Traffic Systems and Safety Upgrades Project to maintain and improve the City' s traffic infrastructure. Staff also requesting that City Council approve the related budget amendment of $ 312, 000.
BACKGROUND:
The number of vehicles traveling through and around the City has increased with the population as development progresses, emphasizing the importance of traffic reliability, safety and function. Staff is proposing the creation of CIP PS 23- 01 CityWide Traffic Systems and Safety Upgrades Project for various upgrades and improvements to the City' s traffic infrastructure.
Of the City' s 19 traffic signals, 12 are currently operated by the McCain Model 170 traffic signal controller, which has been discontinued and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. City Standards currently require the installation of the McCain Model 2070E traffic signal controller, which the remaining seven ( 7) of the total 19 traffic signals currently utilize. To maintain the reliability and safety of our traffic signals, the 12 traffic signals that are operated by Model 170 controllers need to be upgraded to Model 2070E controllers at a rough cost of $ 30, 000 per intersection.
Staff recommends replacing four Model 170 controllers with Model 2070E controllers per year for the next three years at the cost of $ 120, 000 per year.
With the traffic signal controller upgrade, the technology of the detection system should be upgraded as well. The 12 intersections eligible for the Model 2070E upgrade utilize inductive loops as the vehicle detection system.

The current City Standard for new traffic signals requires installing the Iteris Next Vector detection system ( Iteris). Iteris uses a combination of video and radar to not only detect vehicles but also provide the City with data such as vehicle speeds, counts, types and pedestrian and bicycle counts. This data will help the City optimize traffic flow through our most congested corridors and improve safety with features like dilemma zone extension and red light run hold. In addition, this system detects, identifies and provides a green light for bicycles. Staff proposes to upgrade four intersections with Iteris Next Vector per year for the next three years at the cost of 112, 000 per year.
The connection of traffic signals to the City' s network is critical to monitoring the operation and function of each signal. 7 out of the City' s 19 traffic signals are not currently connected to the network therefore, staff proposes upgrades for a fiber optic connection to each of the intersections at an approximate cost of $ 30, 000 per year for the next three years.
Staff proposes prioritizing the traffic signal upgrades based on intersection traffic in the order shown in Table 1 below.

Traffic safety improvements such as signs, striping, guardrails, bicycle facilities, lighting and education are also critical as the City' s population increases. Often, these improvements are installed as a response to an incident and to prevent future incidents; therefore, staff is proposing an additional budget of $ 50, 000 per year.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Creation of CIP PS 23- 01 City- Wide Traffic Systems and Safety Upgrades Project is needed to maintain and improve the reliability, safety and function of various traffic control devices in the City. These improvements will ensure that the City' s traffic infrastructure keeps pace with the increasing population.

Staff requests City Council approve a budget amendment transferring $ 312, 000 from the Street Reserve Fund ( 1010) to the Streets CIP Fund ( 3310) as follows:
