Adaptive Traffic/Traffic Responsive Control Systems Project
The project involves developing and implementing corridor mobility improvement projects (MIPs) on three local arterials—Garvey Avenue, Atlantic Boulevard, and Garfield Avenue (35 intersections). The purpose and objective of this project is to upgrade the traffic signal system and other components at the major north-south and east-west corridors to improve the mobility, safety, and quality of life in the City of Monterey Park. The project will contribute to the mobility and operational benefits on the I-710 corridor between I-10 and I-210 consistent with the Purpose and Need of the 710 Gap Closure project. These improvements will be planned and developed in conjunction with adjacent cities and Los Angeles County (LA County) to ensure that traffic operations are coordinated through major corridors within the SR-710 area. The project will be conducted in two phases:
§ Phase 1 consists of reviewing existing traffic signal system infrastructure conditions and preparing preliminary engineering documents for the implementation of recommended project improvements within the allocated funds from the grant.
§ Phase 2 consists of a preparing project plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) based on the approved improvements determined during Phase 1. This phase also consists of procuring equipment, developing environmental documentation, bid and construction support, system integration support, and preparing a final project report including a "before and after study" comparison analysis.
The project will upgrade traffic signals, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and communications equipment along the project corridors. The project also entails the preparation and implementation of new traffic signal timing, traffic signal synchronization, and fine-tuning, installing a new central advanced traffic management system (ATMS) at City Hall, and implementing adaptive traffic control system (ATCS) and responsive traffic signal timing and coordination plans.
