SR 6006 (Pennsylvania Avenue), SR 1017 (Market Street), and Water - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

SR 6006 (Pennsylvania Avenue), SR 1017 (Market Street), and Water Street Intersection Improvement City of Warren, Warren County, PA

Project Goals • Safety Improvements – Reduce crashes – The intersection has a history of vehicles hitting fixed objects. • Drainage Improvements – Update inlets and pipes to current standards. • Arterial Efficiency and Operations – Signalized intersections within the city are not currently interconnected. – Improve traffic flow in the system.

Intersection Conflict Points

Lighting/Signal Pole Options Standard Poles (Galvanized) Decorative Poles Painted Black Standard Poles Painted Black – No additional cost to City – No additional cost to City – City responsible for: $12,000 to $16,000/signal pole $2,000 to $4,000/light pole (generally half the cost)

Project Goals Satisfied? • Safety Improvements – Statistically, roundabouts are safer than traditional signalized intersections. – Both alternatives will improve the geometry of the intersection and accommodate large vehicles. • Drainage Improvements – The existing drainage network will be improved with either alternative; however, the roundabout would require a more complex drainage system. • Arterial Efficiency and Operations – Both alternatives would improve the efficiency and operation of the arterial network.
