City hires engineering firm for Henry Street signal replacements with federal match
Summary
Commission approved a $126,616 contract with Roe Professional Services for design and construction engineering on three traffic signal replacements on the Henry Street corridor; construction is planned for 2027 and funded in part by MPO-distributed federal funds.
The Muskegon City Commission approved Sept. 23 an engineering contract in the amount of $126,616 with Roe Professional Services Company for design and construction engineering on a signal improvement project along the Henry Street corridor.
Dan Vanderheide, director of public works, told the commission the project will replace three traffic signals at Henry Street intersections with Sherman, Hackley and Laketon. He said the signals are at least 20 years old and have exceeded typical expected service life for traffic signal equipment.
The design phase is required now to meet federal funding timelines; Vanderheide said construction is expected in 2027. The project has $250,000 allocated from the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) — the local distributor of federal transportation funds — and the city will provide a local match.
Commissioners who live in or near the corridor said the intersections have experienced outages and welcomed replacement. Vanderheide said records are incomplete but that the signals are “at least 20 years old,” which is within or beyond the typical expected lifespan for signal equipment.
The motion passed on roll call; all voting commissioners present supported the contract award.
