City to pursue signal design at Commerce Drive/Meyer entrance; engineering contract introduced
Summary
City staff introduced a $78,000 professional services agreement with Crossroad Engineers to design a traffic signal at the Commerce Drive/Meyer entrance to serve a new development; the commission was asked to consider a resolution at a subsequent meeting and the Board of Works will receive the contract.
City staff introduced a $78,000 engineering services agreement with Crossroad Engineers to design a traffic signal at the Commerce Drive intersection created by Meyer’s second entrance, citing new development to the north as the driver for the work.
Staff said a prior traffic study had indicated a signal might not be needed unless the north property developed. With a nearby parcel now planned for commercial development (mentioned at the meeting as potential restaurant and service uses), the city has agreed to participate in signal installation. The introduced agreement would fund engineering design; staff said the goal is to design and install the signal by the end of the year to align with the developer’s infrastructure schedule.
Staff noted the contract will go to the Board of Works and that a resolution for the RDC to consider will be brought to the commission at its next meeting. Crossroad Engineers representatives attended the meeting and introduced Brad Staley, a promoted project manager, as a new regular attendee for development project coordination.
No formal RDC vote was taken on the agreement at the meeting; staff presented the project status and asked the commission to prepare for a formal resolution at a future meeting.
