PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On November 20, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-225 creating the Project and appropriating $3,500 of District 5 Surplus Campaign Funds.
On June 3, 2024 City Council approved Resolution No. 2024-85, adopting the FY 2024-25 CIP Budget which included an appropriation of $6,500 of General Funds to this project.
On October 7, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-142, which added $7,064 of District 1 CIP Carryover Discretionary Funding to the Project.
DISCUSSION:
The Project provides for the replacement of traffic signage at various locations throughout the City to enhance visibility, calm traffic, and/or increase pedestrian awareness, as funds become available. In accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), regulatory and warning signs are required to meet minimum retro-reflectivity. Any supplemental features such as LED lights are not required, but considered optional. At the direction of City Council, staff will continue to explore and pilot LED stop signs for enhanced visibility, as funds becomes available. The new traffic signage may utilize LED’s, flashing technology, and/or solar technology to enhance sustainable features and environmental awareness. However, given the lifespan of a solar power unit, LED stop signs may be replaced with standard stop signs in the future if funding for replacement parts is unavailable. Project locations will be added based on Councilmember requests and staff evaluation. The recommended action will appropriate $6,600 from the District 5 CIP Carryover Discretionary Fund to replace existing, standard stop signs with solar-powered LED stop signs on the southbound approach of Village Loop Road at Old Wood Road, and on the eastbound and westbound approaches along Curran Place at Ninth Street.
