Pacific staff report on traffic signals, lift-station work and industrial-park access
Summary
Staff updated the committee that Lift Station 2 now has a backup generator, engineering plans are requested for a 60-foot pipe to relieve a sewer interceptor bottleneck, temporary signals at Denton/Jefferson are under review and radar speed signs are collecting data on Candlewick.
Pacific — The Operations Committee received brief updates on traffic and utility projects on Aug. 15 and recorded next steps for continued monitoring.
On traffic, the committee reviewed a response from Mr. Bergman that temporary traffic signals at Denton and Jefferson currently do not appear warranted by volume and that MoDOT would be responsible for First and Jefferson; the city will monitor traffic backups and can request signage or temporary measures if congestion persists.
Regarding stormwater and sewer capacity, the committee heard that Lift Station 2 is now fully operational with a backup generator. Staff said they have requested engineering plans for a 60-foot pipe to address a bottleneck feeding Lift Station 2 and are pursuing necessary easements tied to the larger interceptor project.
Staff also reported two radar speed signs have been installed on Candlewick and are recording speed and traffic-count data; committee members were told data can be provided on request. Separately, an industrial park manufacturer is exploring a secondary entrance; staff said routing is under discussion and may not cross city or school-district property, but details are still being finalized.
No formal votes were taken on infrastructure projects at the meeting; committee members asked staff to keep monitoring traffic patterns and to return with more detailed engineering and routing information when available.
