Document Description
The proposed project is within the City of Ridgecrest (Kern County) and includes the design and construction of six (6) traffic signal modifications and traffic signal timing updates for China Lake Boulevard at the intersections of: California Avenue, Church Avenue, Upjohn Avenue, Rader Avenue, Bowman Road, and College Heights Boulevard. The proposed improvements will include upgrading the traffic signal controller units and implementing Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) signal timing.
Furthermore, the traffic signal timing charts will be updated to current California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) requirements. This project would involve equipment upgrades only and no excavation is required.
The project has independent utility and will not require future construction to function; it does not require new right-of-way and does not involve landscaping activities that use known invasive plant species. All work is within City right-of-way.
