Dear Mayor Riggs:
Reference is made to your request to upgrade traffic signals along Highway 64 at its intersections with 7th Street,
12 Street, 15 Street and Highway 162 (Kibler Street) in Van Buren. Please be advised that we have completed
our studies and that all four of these intersections meet the warrants for a traffic signal. Sta
The intersections of Highway 64 and 7 12 and 15 Streets are eligible for upgrading 90a Federal
funds. The City will be responsible for 10% of the preliminary engineering and construction costs. The nter and
of Highway 64 and Highway 162 is eligible for upgrading using 100% Federal and State funds. Please note that the
traffic signals t the intersection of Highway 64 and Highway 59 operate off the same controller that controls the
signals at 12 Street. Therefore, the intersection of Highways 64 and 59 will also need to be modified, and is
eligible for upgrading using 100% Federal and State funds.
The City will be responsible for acquiring any needed right -of -way and utility adjustments at all five intersections.
In addition, the City must provide power to the traffic signals and maintain them after installation.
Our preliminary cost estimate for this job is $200,000.
If the City should desire to wait until Federal funds become available, please have your City (samples enclosed) and return them to us. If the City requires the u pgrading of these signals at this
time, the Department can issue a permit for the installations at the expense of the City. ty Council pass two
