Site work for a road / highway in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The City of Waukesha owns and maintains 69 traffic signals. Some of the traffic signals have fallen into disrepair, or have significant maintenance issues, or have outdated technology that requires replacement. Every year, the City tries to upgrade at least one traffic signal. A traffic signal upgrade generally involves replacing underground conduits, wiring, controller units, communication devices, deteriorated arms or poles, deteriorated and outdated signal heads. Generally, bases, poles and other structural items are still in good condition and are left in place. A typical useful life of traffic signal electronic and communication components are typically 20 years, but the remaining infrastructure generally lasts up to 35 years. During the life cycle of a typical city street, say 50 years, a traffic signal, in it's entirety, will be replaced when the street is reconstructed, but interim upgrades are needed in the 20 year timeframe. This project is included in the city’s fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of March 21, 2024, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
