Traffic signal detection equipment is replaced occasionally and most frequently during maintenance activities in conjunction with a CIP project when new pavement impacts the induction loops within the pavement or at the end of a detection systems useful life. It has been best practice to replace loops in the pavement with non-invasive detection such as video detection systems, when feasible. There are currently multiple signalized intersections that have aged intersection detection that cause frequent maintenance activity and cause the traffic signal system to function sub-optimally, impacting daily travel of motorists. The equipment being purchased will be used at 3 signalized intersections to address problems with signal operations and frequent customer complaints.

The fiscal impact to the City is $57,684. Funding for the Replace Loop Detection with Video Detection Project (No. 112206) is included in the  FY 2021-22 adopted budget, page number 138, account number 7011-5406.
