Council favors traffic signal at 40th and Madison but seeks cost comparison with HAWK system
Summary
Council members told city staff they prefer installing a traffic signal at the 40th and Madison intersection but asked for specific cost estimates and a comparison with a HAWK pedestrian-activated crossing system before making a final decision.
Council Member Susan Stewart raised questions about the 40th and Madison intersection and the council discussed options with Engineer Jory Wahlen. Wahlen provided an overview and staff outlined possible treatments for the crossing.
The council expressed a preference for installing a conventional traffic signal at that intersection but directed staff to provide specific cost estimates for both a traffic signal and a HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalK) pedestrian-activated system so the council can compare costs and operational differences before deciding.
