Explanation
* Private developer funds appropriations are needed when a developer is required through the City rezoning process to make traffic signal improvements.
* Funding contributions from private developers must be appropriated prior to the City's initiation of work.
* The $203,000 in private developer funding is for new traffic signals and traffic signal/upgrades and related work associated with developer projects. The funding is restricted to the projects noted below.
* The following developers are fully funding traffic signal installations and improvements to mitigate traffic impacts around their respective development projects:
* Mt Island Promenade, LLC contributed $188,000 for a new traffic signal at the intersection of Overlook Mountain Drive and Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road and signal modification at the intersection of Callabridge Court and Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road (located in Council District 2). Zoning for the Riverbend Commercial Subdivision requires these upgrades.
* 521 Partners LLC contributed $15,000 for traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Providence Road West and Johnston Road (located in Council District 2). The work is necessary to relocate fiber optic cable and a pedestrian signal.
* The above signals meet the same criteria as other traffic signals approved by the City.
* Payments made by the developer are in response to estimates of work prepared by the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) and supplied to the developer.
* Any funding contributed by the developer for a signal project that is unused by the City will be refunded after project completion...
