Document Description
Contra Costa County (County) Public Works Dept. proposes to upgrade signal hardware and signage at eleven priority locations described above to improve public safety by:
• Providing better advance visibility of intersection signals for drivers
• Reducing red light violation frequency
• Enhancing the pedestrian countdown signal
• Discouraging jaywalking
The proposed improvements include:
• Replacing signal back plates, signal heads, mounts, street name signs, and
controllers
• Installing video detection cameras
• Installing pedestrian countdown signal heads on existing poles
No right of way acquisitions or temporary construction easements, utility relocations, ground disturbance, or vegetation removal are anticipated. Temporary traffic controls are anticipated and emergency vehicles will have full access. Appropriate best management practices for water pollution control (i.e. drainage inlet protection) will be implemented during construction. Installation of upgrades is anticipated to occur in spring/summer 2023 and will take approximately 40 working days.
