Explanation
§ Two traffic signals will be installed within the next year at the following locations:
- Intersection of Wilkinson Boulevard and Donald Ross Road (Council District 3), and
- Intersection of North Tryon Street and Bennett Street (bordering Council Districts 1 and 4).
§ The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) analyzed traffic at these two locations and approved the installation of traffic signals.
§ These locations are on state routes; therefore, by this agreement, NCDOT authorizes the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) to install these signals.
§ Municipal agreements, in the amount of $90,900 and $136,000, are also needed to ensure the city is fully reimbursed by NCDOT for the work it performs.
§ This format is consistent with past Municipal Agreements between the city and NCDOT.
§ CDOT will install and operate these signals as part of the existing signal systems in the area.
