File Number: 20-061 core Federal-aid program. The overall purpose of this program is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads through the implementation of infrastructure-related highway safety improvements. Caltrans manages this program in California on behalf of the federal government. The City was awarded $323,910 in the 2018 HSIP Cycle 9 to upgrade the traffic signal and improve the traffic safety at the Wicks Boulevard and Manor Boulevard intersection. This intersection was selected because it ranked high on the City’s High Collision Intersections list, which is regularly monitored and updated by City staff. Nineteen collisions were reported between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2018, including twelve that involved southbound left turns from Manor Boulevard onto Wicks Boulevard. Staff evaluated collision patterns during the five-year period and determined that left turn collisions could be decreased by upgrading the traffic signal equipment as well as enhancing traffic signal operations. More specifically, City staff identified the following three countermeasures: ·Provide a protected left turn traffic light phase (left turn lane already exists); ·Improve traffic signal hardware to the current standards; and ·Provide Advanced Dilemma Zone Detection for high speed approaches. A dilemma zone exists when a vehicle approaching a green signal display is traveling too slow to clear the intersection but too fast to stop at the limit line. Analysis Caltrans, through the HSIP, approved $323,910 in Federal-aid funding for the design and construction of the Wicks Boulevard at Manor Boulevard Signal Upgrade Project. The City’s required local match is $35,990, bringing the total project budget to $359,900. Upon execution of Program Supplement Agreement No. F029, staff will proceed with the design phase of the project. This design phase is estimated to cost $41,500. The HSIP grant will fund $37,350, while the City’s required local match for this phase is $4,150. After the completion of the design phase, the City must execute a second Program Supplement Agreement for the construction phase of the work.
