Report
Summary
In association with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) System Management and Operations Plan, Phoenix intends to permit the City of Glendale to utilize Phoenix right-of-way to install vehicle detection system upgrades at four City of Phoenix signalized intersections along the Glendale Avenue roadway corridor. The project will be funded from local and federal funds through the utilization of the MAG Transportation Improvement Program Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement funds. The estimated construction cost is $904,860, which is made up of $853,282 of federal funds, and local matches from the City of Glendale of $51,578 and the City of Phoenix of $13,365.
The detection upgrades are to be installed at 19 signalized intersections along Glendale Avenue, with 4 signals (27th, 35th, 39th and 43rd avenues) located within the City of Phoenix, and 15 signals located within the City of Glendale from the Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway (L101) to Interstate 17 (I-17). The project includes the removal of existing video detection, removal of existing loop detection at all signals, and installation of new signal detection mounted on the signals within the project limits. The new advanced detection is to be installed preferably on all four approaches, but if restraints are presented, the detection must at least be installed on the two Glendale Avenue approaches. The use of Phoenix right-of-way is limited to the installation of the detection only and does not include access for the purpose of maintenance or operations.
The existing traffic signals along Glendale Avenue between L101 and west of 43rd Avenue are owned by the City of Glendale and were constructed to Glendale standards. The existing traffic signals along Glendale Avenue between 43rd Avenue and west of I-17 are owned by the City of Phoenix and were constructed to Phoenix standards. Both cities will continue to maintain existing operations and maintenance responsibilities of their own traffic signals. The new City of Phoenix detection infrastructure installed at the four signalized intersections will be owned and maintained by Phoenix and the new City of Glendale detection infrastructure installed at the remaining 15 signalized intersections will be owned and maintained by Glendale.
