Summary
Council approved item 1R to install a traffic signal at Tracy Boulevard and Gandy Dancer, authorizing funding from traffic impact fees and general fund reserves after public testimony stressing community safety and a cited traffic study.
The City of Tracy City Council voted to fund and install a traffic signal at the intersection of Tracy Boulevard and Gandy Dancer.
City Engineer Evan Marcellus presented the item seeking project approval and appropriation from traffic impact fees and general fund reserves. A public commenter told the council the request — described during public comment as roughly $800,000 — was “not an ask out of convenience. It's truly a plea for community safety.” The commenter asked for a speedy installation once funding was approved.
Councilmembers thanked staff for the quick work and expressed support for public safety. A motion to approve the project was made, seconded and carried by roll call. Staff said it will proceed with procurement and scheduling for the installation.
Next steps: Public Works/Engineering will prepare procurement documents and return with a construction schedule and periodic updates to the council.
