APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR
BIDS - MODIFICATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND INTERCONNECT AT McFADDEN AVENUE
AND PASADENA AVENUE (CIP PROJECT NO. 800054)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of August 5, 1996, adopt Resolution No.
96-84 approving the plans and.specifications for the modification of a traffic signal and interconnect
at the intersection of McFadden Avenue and Pasadena Avenue and authorizing the City Clerk to
advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer's estimate for this project is $126,440.00 and will be funded through the City's Fiscal
Year 1996/97 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION.
The traffic signal at McFadden Avenue/Pasadena Avenue was modified in 1976 by adding
permissive/protected left-turn phasing in the east/west direction at McFadden Avenue. This was
done 'to reduce delay for vehicles making left-tums at Pasadena Avenue. At that time, average
daily traffic volumes on McFadden Avenue and Pasadena Avenue were 12,200 ADT and 2,000
ADT, respectively. Current traffic volumes are approximately 25,000 ADT on McFadden
Avenue, and 11,400 ADT.on Pasadena Avenue. Both streets operate within acceptable levels of
Due to an increase in'congestion and accidents, a review of the traffic conditions at the McFadden
Avenue/Pasadena Avenue intersection was conducted to .evaluate the intersection's operating
conditions. The existing traffic signal at McFadden Avenue/Pasadena Avenue currently operates as
a three phase sequential operation, with one phase operating as a permissive/protected left-mm for
the east and westbound directions. An accident analysis for a recent three year period (1993, 1994,
and 1995) was performed to identify any significant pattems in accidents that could be reduced
through improvements. Copies of traffic collision diagrams are provided as an attachment to this
report. The accident analysis determined there were significant left-turn type accidents at the
noted intersection.
The accident data presented a recurring acCident pattern for east and westbound left-mm
movements. A total of five such left-mm accidents occurred during the twelve month period
between September 1994 and September 1995. The analysis concluded that the left-turn accident
pattern at this location is correctable with the installation of fully protected left-turn phasing for the
east/west direction.

Based upon the analysis, it is recommended that the traffic signal be modified to provide fully
protected left-turn phasing for McFadden Avenue at the noted location. The project will'include
rewiring the traffic signal system, upgrading the signal equipment and restriping 150 feet along
each leg of the intersection. This project will also be coordinated with the McFadden Aven.ue
Rehabilitation Project (CIP No. 700140) to minimize disruptions in this area. The traffic signal
modification will include all labor, material, tools, equipment, appurtenances and incidentals for the
subject project as detailed on the plans and specifications for this project.
The tentative schedule for this project is as follows:
