Park City authorized a $5,000 consulting agreement with GFT Infrastructure (formerly Transystems) to perform a traffic signal warrant analysis at the intersection of 70 Seventh and Wyandotte Way, a location expected to see greater traffic from improvements at Crosswinds Casino and Gillies Park City.

Staff said the analysis will evaluate the nine statutory warrants used to determine whether a traffic signal is legally warranted. If the study finds a warrant is met, staff will work with adjacent property owners and could present a petition for installation of a signal at a future council meeting. The study cost will be paid from the city's streets and highway fund.

Staff noted that traffic signals typically require engineering and equipment lead times — including 9–12 months for mast arms — and recommended conducting the study now to be positioned to act if the traffic increases as projected. The city also discussed interim options, such as temporary signal devices, if the study shows immediate need and permanent signal components are not yet deliverable.

Councilmember Jim Schrader moved to approve the agreement; Councilmember Charles Schwenke seconded. The vote was unanimous (7–0).

Staff said they are discussing cost-sharing with the three major adjacent property owners; Sedgwick County Fire occupies a fourth corner. The analysis is intended to support timely design and procurement if a signal is later approved.
