Lancaster County engineer: county needs new traffic counters; board authorizes $11,636 purchase
Summary
Lancaster County approved purchase of a Metro Count RoadPod VT Tube traffic counter for $11,636 after County Engineer Mimi told commissioners the county is "down to three functioning counters" and needs replacements to continue required traffic counts on low-volume roads.
Lancaster County Engineer Mimi told the Board of Commissioners that the county's traffic-counting program needs additional equipment and recommended a purchase order to Metro Count for a RoadPod VT Tube traffic counter at a total cost of $11,636. "We're currently down to three functioning counters, and so we need to um upgrade our counters so that we can continue uh with the counting of our traffic," Mimi said during the July 28 meeting.
Commissioners voted to approve the purchase order after the engineering recommendation. The equipment will be used for counts on roads with fewer than 100 vehicles per day, a category for which the county said it is required to maintain periodic traffic data.
