August 19, 2014 Page 2 b. Improve traffic signal coordination to efficiently move traffic in response to a major incident or special event. c. Reduce intrusion of motorists onto streets that are not suitable alternate routes to return traffic back to the freeway. 2. Provide enhanced tools for traffic management and data collection. a. Install traffic detection devices (sensors and cameras) on arterial streets throughout the corridor. b. Provide the City with the ability to develop incident management traffic signal timing templates for implementation when future incidents or events occur. c. Install updated City traffic signal controller equipment and/or service enclosures as needed to meet technical requirements of the ICM system. d. Provide a communication infrastructure throughout the corridor. 3. Improved air quality through decreased motor vehicle emissions and fuel consumption. a. Coordinate traffic signal systems between the Cities of San Leandro and Oakland to minimize traffic delays. b. Implement traffic signal systems and timing plans that may be remotely adjusted to improve traffic flow due to an incident, special event or day-to-day recurrent congestion. Project Description The project proposes to install ITS equipment on arterial streets along the I-880 Corridor in the Cities of San Leandro and Oakland (see Attachment A - Project Map). The project will utilize existing structures and infrastructure where feasible to install the equipment and minimize impacts to existing facilities and surrounding areas. Within the City of San Leandro limits, the project proposes to install the following, all within Caltrans right-of-way: 0 5 trailblazer signs (see Attachment B — Trailblazer Sign Examples) • 4 closed-circuit television cameras • 3 traffic detection stations • 4 traffic signal controller cabinets 0 Various communications improvements This project builds on the Corridor System Management Plan (CSMP) for the I-880 Corridor and the Federal ICM Initiative, and is an important step toward providing an integrated ITS system along this corridor. The system will be compatible with other regional systems and corridors, including the I-80 ICM system and East Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project. The maintenance and operations of the intelligent transportation systems installed by the project will be subject to the terms and conditions of future agreements between MTC, Caltrans and the Cities of Oakland and San Leandro. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and maintenance plan will be developed prior to project construction.
