INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution is in reference to the public hearing for the 5 Points Traffic
Signal Reconstruction Project.
DISCUSSION
The 5 Points Traffic Signal Reconstruction Project will provide for the reconstruction of
traffic signals at the intersection of Rhomberg Avenue and 20 and Elm Streets.
Improvements will include: pedestrian buttons for the crosswalks; a dedicated left turn
for the westbound traffic on Rhomberg Avenue to Elm Street; and the reconstruction of
curb ramps to bring the intersection to ADA standards. This newly - rebuilt signal will be
tied into the City -wide traffic management operations center at City Hall. New traffic
controller equipment, battery backup and mastarms have already been purchased for
the project from other CIPs to eliminate the long lead time in equipment ordering.
