BACKGROUND
In August 2007, the City executed a Letter of Agreement with Metro after successfully
responding to a Metro Call for Projects to obtain Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) funds that were used for the construction of the ITS Phase II project. On August 4,
2008, a Notice to Proceed was issued and construction commenced.
This project built upon the success of the Intelligent Transportation Management System and
Thoroughfare Signal Interconnect projects previously completed by staff in 2006 by adding
critical infrastructure to the City's roadway network. Key elements of infrastructure installed by
this project included, but were not limited to, over three and a half miles of fiber-optic cable, ten
closed-circuit television cameras, video and system detection equipment, and the furnishing of
three changeable message signs for City use. Additionally, installation of computer software in
the Traffic Operations Center allows for integration of the data collected in the field and
dissemination of that data to the public.
A' VED1
With the completion of this project, an improvement of traffic safety by increasing motorists'
awareness of potential hazards on the roadway, as well as reducing traffic demand or congestion
in the vicinity of an incident, will be realized. The operation of the traveler information system
will be shared between the Sheriffs Department and City staff.
Additionally, this project provides redundant communications between the Transit Maintenance
Facility and City Hall, enhancing the existing computer network between the two facilities.
This project was completed within budget and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer on
April 17, 2009.
