Title
Traffic Signal Modification - 151st Street and 80th Avenue - Board Approval
History
In order to improve traffic flow at the intersection of 151st Street and 80th Avenue, the Village would like to add an eastbound right-turn overlap indication at the intersection. In addition, the Orland Fire Protection District requests an emergency vehicle preemption light detector interconnect be installed at this intersection as a part of this enhancement.
Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. (CBBEL) of Rosemont, Illinois, has submitted a proposal in the amount of $9,500 for professional engineering services which will include data collection, topographic survey, traffic signal modification plans and consultation during the design process.
This enhancement will greatly improve mobility for motorists traveling through this intersection. Three enhancement options have been developed, ranging from the addition of a simple right-turn arrow to a more complex option which includes modernizing the current pedestrian signal.
Funding for the construction of the proposed enhancement (Alternate A) is available at this time.
Funding for Alternate B, the more comprehensive enhancement, has been requested from IDOT via an application submitted for Highway Safety Improvement Program.
On April 5, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
