DISCUSSION:
The “Garey Avenue and Freeway Ramps Signal Coordination,” FD428, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) | CC2590 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) | Worktag: Project PRJ-00003 Project will provide professional design services to install a new traffic signal and modify an existing signal at Garey Avenue and the I-10 freeway ramps, as well as develop updated traffic signal timing plans and coordination for the surrounding area. Caltrans requires a detailed report outlining the proposed improvements and timing plans for review and approval. The project is expected to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
This effort is necessary because existing and planned roadway conditions require enhanced traffic communications between traffic signalized intersections to safely and efficiently accommodate current and future traffic volumes. Without the new signal and modifications to the existing signal, the intersections may experience increased delays, operational inefficiencies, and potential safety concerns as traffic patterns change.
