FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the following accounts: Funding Source Account Amount Award Percent Federal Participation $94,905.00 77.7% i Peripheral Fees 178-21513-000 $1,922.50 1.6% 95 GO Bonds 178-78364-008 $10,342.82 $10,342.82 8.4% 96 GO Bonds 178-78367-009 $15,000.00 $202.18 12.3% TOTAL $122,170.32 $10,545.00 100% Budaet Amount Award Percent Engineering $11,420.00 9.3% Construction $95,000.00 $10,545.00 77.8% Contingency $15,750.32 12.9% TOTAL $122,170.32 $10,545.00 100% BACKGROUND: The Ball Street and Wall Street project involves improving the traffic safety at the intersection by means of traffic signal and striping changes. The existing lane configuration layout at the intersection of Ball Street and Wall Street has the following drawbacks. • The Wall Street approaches have a single shared lane for both through and left turning vehicles. Typically, a vehicle waiting to make a left turn blocks the path of other through vehicles. This often forces the through vehicles to clear the intersection during the yellow lights and some vehicles also run the red lights. Left - turning motorists are also tentative since it is not clear whether the vehicles in the opposing queue (behind the first vehicle) are going to turn left or go straight. April 8, 2002 (4:36PM) • A similar condition exists for the Ball Street approaches. In addition, the northbound left -turn is heavy during the PM peak, which worsens the condition. The incident history at this location indicates a predominant pattern of collisions - between vehicles turning left and the opposing through vehicles. The proposed improvements essentially include: • Restriping Wall Street approaches to provide three approach lanes in each direction: a left -turn lane, through lane and a right -turn lane. This is being done within the existing pavement width and existing right-of-way. • Changing the lane designation of the Ball Street approaches. The inside lane will be changed to an exclusive left -turn lane in both directions. The outside lane will remain a shared through and right -turn lane • Since the northbound direction has a heavy left -turn movement, a protected - permissive left turn phase (a green ball and green arrow combination) is proposed for this direction. • An advanced warning sign will be installed on a mast arm approximately 400 feet in advance of the intersection for the northbound motorists informing them of the new lane configuration. • The traffic signal will be upgraded to include a new cabinet, signal controller and foundation. • Traffic sensors will be installed in advance of the intersection to improve vehicle detection. Staff presented these proposed improvements to the City Council in a workshop on September 4, 2001. Council directed staff to design the signal to allow for future upgrades (to protected left -turn arrows) if necessary and to ensure that no existing trees were removed. These comments were incorporated into the design. The signal contract is currently in the process of being bid out in Austin by TXDOT. The construction of the project is anticipated to be complete by December 2002. Staff recommends approval.
