Committee recommends Ramsey Road signal upgrades, supported by LTAC grant
Summary
City engineers presented a roughly $1.3 million Ramsey Road traffic‑signal upgrade funded primarily by an LTAC grant; the committee recommended council approval of a professional services agreement with JUB Engineers for signal design, ADA work and corridor coordination.
The General Services Public Works Committee recommended the City Council approve a professional services agreement with JUB Engineers to design signal upgrades along the Ramsey Road corridor, a project awarded previously through an LTAC grant and estimated at about $1.3 million.
Chris, identified in the meeting as the city engineer, said the project will upgrade signal equipment, add ADA improvements and install a new signal at Wilbur Avenue; it also aims to create coordinated signal corridors along Ramsey Road and Government Way. “This 1 is especially important because it puts a new signal in at Wilbur Avenue,” Chris said, adding that the grant funding may not cover all costs and staff would return if additional city funds are required.
Christy moved the recommendation and it was seconded and approved by voice vote; the committee agreed to place the item on the consent calendar. Committee members pressed for signal coordination to be a priority given limited grant funds; Chris said staff are working to increase connectivity and prioritize coordinated corridors for new projects.
The committee’s recommendation forwards the design agreement to the full City Council for final action. Staff said they will pursue remaining funding if the LTAC grant does not fully cover the planned scope and will provide updates if additional city contribution is needed.
