DISCUSSION:
At their meeting on September 16, 2024, the City Council discussed the safety of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists along Towne Avenue. One of the suggestions discussed was the proposed implementation of Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI). LPI gives pedestrians the opportunity to enter the crosswalk at an intersection 3-5 seconds before vehicles are given a green light. The proposed Project will upgrade existing traffic signal controller cabinets, along Towne Avenue between Mission Boulevard and Philadelphia Street, with new electronics for the implementation of LPI. Pedestrians can better establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles have priority to turn right or left.
Development Impact Fees (DIF) are one-time charges imposed on developers of new projects to help pay for the infrastructure and public services needed to support growth. Towne Avenue is a vital link to schools, shopping, and the Downtown Pomona area. These upgrades will help to enhance safety along Towne Avenue.
