DESCRIPTION: This project will construct a traffic signal at the intersection of
Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive. The traffic signal is warranted based on existing traffic volumes
entering the intersection during the morning and afternoon peak hours. The volumes have escalated over
time due to increased traffic on Inspiration Drive from the Valley Christian Center (VCC) schools and
nearby housing developments (Hansen Ranch and Clifden Parc). It is anticipated that these traffic
volumes will further escalate if the Schaefer Ranch development is constructed to the west of the existing
terminus of Dublin Boulevard.
The design phase, plans and specifications for the traffic signal system are now complete. In order to
construct the signal when school is not in session, it is proposed to initiate the bid process at this time.
The project is scheduled to begin after the VCC schools let out in June, and the traffic signal should be
installed prior to the start of the new school year at the end of August.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize solicitation of bids for Contract No. 04-01, Traffic
Signal at Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive.
