DESCRIPTION:
On May 3, 2016, the City Council awarded a contract to W. Bradley Electric Inc. in the
amount of $145,344.00 for the Village Parkway and Brighton Drive Traffic Signal
Upgrade, Project ST0316. This project provided for traffic safety improvements at the
intersection of Village Parkway and Brighton Drive. This intersection is heavily utilized
by pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles, many of which are associated with Dublin
High School. The completed traffic safety improvements were recommended in a “Walk
Audit” completed by Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools.
The project created a protected left-turn phase on both approaches of Brighton Drive ,
allowing pedestrians to cross the street during a separate phase and eliminating
potential conflicts with left-turning traffic. Left-turning motorists now receive a green
arrow during a separate signal phase.
The project stayed within budget but took longer than expected due to the need for a
custom traffic signal mast arm to provide adequate clearance to an existing overhead
PG&E line. Staff has determined that the project is complete , and recommends that the
City Council accept the project and begin the warranty period for the Village Parkway
and Brighton Drive Traffic Signal Upgrade Project No. ST0316.
As shown in the Financial Impact section above, this project was finished with a
remaining balance of $2,702.61, which will be distributed back to the Vehicle
Registration Fee Fund at the end of this Fiscal Year to be used for future projects.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
