freundb Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hopefully impacts are minimal. The Yale underpass saves me often from the damn trains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Close to a million dollars for a new traffic light posts/arms, paint on the ground, and walk signals? Government bloat at it's best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I'm not a government contractor or a city planner, however I have been privy to the cost estimate for a brand new 4 way traffic signal install without crosswalk signals and that was about $250k. I have no perspective on crosswalk signal costs for municipalities, but when we looked into them for a private neighborhood, they were available for <$10k each (push button with lighted signal, not the countdown type you commonly see on city streets). So from my perspective, $1M seems excessive for what they have outlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I do wonder if this doesn't include a bit more than that. One or two of the ramps at least really needs to be replaced, and the pavement is a bit rough through here. Some light utility relocation to make sure you actually have at least 5' of clear space would be nice. Some nice bulb-outs on Center St. All that combined would probably be more than $1 million though, so who knows. I guess we'll find out next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
