PROPOSAL: City staff made a request for a traffic operations study at the Old Wire Road/Highway 45 intersection to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD). AHTD conducted the study and determined that the intersection meets the warrants for installation of a signal. Further, the signal installation is eligible for Federal (80%) and State (10%) funding. The City's portion is 10% of the estimated $130,000 cost. A resolution from the City expressing willingness to utilize this funding and to provide the City's share of the cost is needed before AHTD will begin design on the project. Funding for the project through AHTD is available immediately; the project can proceed to construction as soon as the design is completed and any necessary right of way is acquired. Construction could begin as early as 2011 if AHTD prepares the design, or sooner if prepared by the City. In addition to the signal, some realignment of the intersection may be needed. If this resolution is approved, staff will work with AHTD to coordinate design and construction of the realignment with the signal installation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council approval of the resolution. In addition, the Street Committee discussed this opportunity at their January 26th, 2010 meeting, and voted to recommend approval to the full City Council. BUDGET IMPACT: Funding for improvements to Old Wire Road, from Mission to Crossover, is included in the 2010 Capital Improvement Program. Funding available is $300,000; estimated funding for the City's portion of the signal is $13,000. Funding for the realignment may be eligible for federal funding if it is determined that realignment is necessary for proper signal operation. RESOLUTION NO.
