JUN 18 19 80 BOOK 43 PAGE 824 ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON PRESENTED THE BOARD WITH A TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPDATE AS FOLLOWS, NOTING THAT THE COSTS HAVE NOT BEEN ACCURATELY IDENTIFIED AS YET. HE FELT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT EVEN THOUGH HE COULD ONLY PRESENT ESTIMATED FIGURES BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE READY TO MOVE ON SOME OF THESE THINGS AS SOON AS WE RECEIVE AUTHORIZATION FROM THE DOT, ESPECIALLY BARBER AVENUE. TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPDATE 1. SR 60 and Kings Hwy. Authoriziation for this signal will be given after the Maintenance and Operation Agreement is si;ned. Approval should take approximately 60 days. 2. Pedestrian Traffic Control Signal, U.S. #1 and North Gifford Road. This signal will be removed immediately. Signal heads, poles and other reuseable items of equipment will be salvaged and used at other locations. 3. Fully actuated signal, U.S. #1 and North Gifford Road. The D.O.T. recommends that we install this signal. If decision is made to install, authorization can be obtained within 60 days. If Board decides not to install,D.O.T. will furnish us a letter indicating their intention to authorize once we decide to install. 4. 37th Street. Barber Avenue. Bruce Friedman, Traffic Engineer, D.O.T., made an on site inspection of 36th, 37th Streets, and Hospital complex. lie feels that traffic volumes would not justify a signal at both 36th Street and 37th Street. A signal would be authorized at either 36th Street or 37th Street. He recommends that 37th Street, Barber Avenue, be designated the main route to the Hospital. That the traffic signals be moved from 36th Street to Barber Avenue. That a flasher replace the signals and signs indicating Ambulance Entrances hung on overhead cable. We could receive authorization to do this without an additional traffic study. 5. A D.O.T. team will be up in July to re-evaluate the turning signals at U.S. #1 and 12th Street. We pointed out the fact that motorists are detouring through parking lots to avoid this intersection.
