The City's traffic signal system was evaluated as part of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Intersection Evaluation Study (CIP 301-664). This part of the study focused on inventory of the existing traffic signal infrastructure network and identified opportunities to improve efficiency through either equipment or operations enhancements. This project is built upon recommendations from CIP 301-664 and will include the following tasks for design and construction: 1. Citywide Communications Upgrade 2. Traffic Signal Field Hardware a. Vehicle and Pedestrian Signal Heads Replacement - This will require replacement of the traffic signal and pedestrian framework and installation of new light-emitting diode (LED) indications will refresh the City's traffic signal equipment. City of Foster City's FY 2024-25 Final Budget Page 291 b. Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) Replacement - This will require each APS unit (pedestrian push button) to be hardwired individually back to the traffic control cabinet. 3. Traffic Signal Cabinets Upgrade to NEMA TS-2 - Upgrade will maximize detection input opportunities (64-channels) and offer robust maintenance features that can be viewed at the central computer system. 4. Traffic Signal Controllers Replacement - Replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers that use either Ethernet or Fiber Optic cables will provide the City with the option to implement enhanced features. 5. Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) (Central Computer System Upgrade) - A new ATMS Central Computer System will provide an enhanced user interface with access to special functions such as traffic signal coordination, basic timing data access and modification, historical data queries, and user account privileges. The City needs to consider how best to upgrade its network and potentially introduce enhancement of additional City services. Due to the complexity of the project, a technical memorandum will be prepared by a professional traffic engineering consultant that will compare the various upgrade alternatives and associated costs, provide recommendations for the preferred system based on the City's current and future needs, recommend a phasing plan for design and construction of the improvements, and prepare a schedule for implementation. A Technical Memorandum will be prepared by one of the City's on-call Traffic Engineering firms. The project is include in the city's 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
*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.
