Council authorizes negotiation with INDOT to transfer signal timing; will continue to pay utilities
Summary
Council authorized the town manager to enter an agreement with INDOT (pending legal review) to transfer timing and monitoring of the signal at Warrior Trail; the town will continue to pay utility costs while INDOT monitors timing and sensors.
Town staff told the council INDOT (the Indiana Department of Transportation) has proposed taking over traffic-signal timing and installing detection cameras or sensors to better manage congestion at the Warrior Trail intersection. The town would retain payment responsibility for the signal's operating costs, while INDOT would handle timing adjustments and monitoring.
Attorney commentary recommended clarifying renewal provisions in the draft agreement; staff said the long-term INDOT interchange revisions could ultimately remove the signal. After brief discussion the council authorized the town manager to negotiate and sign the agreement pending legal review and minor clarifications; the motion passed on a roll call vote of 5-0.
