Over the <br /> past year, Public Works Transportation staff have met with local business owners, residents,the area's neighborhood <br /> group and several councilors to find ways to make it safer for pedestrians to cross Willamette between 24th and 27"' <br /> Avenues as well as improve other aspects of traffic safety in this heavily traveled commercial area. <br /> The new signal will provide full-service traffic control in both directions at 25th and Willamette, including pedestrian- <br /> activated signal buttons, crosswalks, and ADA ramps. Staff estimates the project will cost about$40,000 using City- <br /> owned signal equipment and Public Works electrical and concrete crews for the installation work. The City costs will be <br /> charged to road fund operations. <br /> The first phase of the project is scheduled to begin February 11 with the installation of the pole bases and other concrete <br /> work. After the concrete has set up for several weeks, crews will return to install the poles, span wires, and signal <br /> equipment. The project is expected to be completed by the end of March. For more information, contact Tom Larsen, <br /> 9-AIC Transportation Division Manager, at 682-8450. <br /> EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br /> February 7,2003 cc020603.Wpd <br />
