Council moves forward on Nessler Road pedestrian crossing design
Summary
Council approved a design engineering services agreement to study and design a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) pedestrian crossing and accessibility upgrades at Nessler Road and Gansett Parkway; staff will complete a signal-warrant analysis to determine final design.
The committee approved an agreement with HLR to advance design work for a pedestrian crossing improvement on Nessler Road at Gansett Parkway, using an RRFB (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon) as the initial design approach and collecting updated traffic counts to complete a signal-warrant analysis.
City staff said the RRFB and accompanying accessibility improvements are intended to create a clearer, safer crossing and that the warrant analysis could recommend a traffic signal or other alternatives before final design. Council member Dixon, who said he travels through the area frequently, thanked staff and said the improvements were much needed near a nearby elementary school.
The motion to approve the design services contract passed unanimously.
