On June 10, 2024 (AI-1797), Council approved CIP #42088 - Dilemma Zone Advance Detection and ITS Upgrades in the adoption of Resolution No. 2024-2381 Determining and Adopting the Final Estimates of Proposed Revenues and Expenditures for the city of Goodyear for FY2025.

STAFF ANALYSIS

This Council Action Request is to obtain authorization for the expenditure of funds for materials and equipment of CIP Project #42088 – Dilemma Zone Advance Detection and ITS Upgrades. This request is to start the first year of a four-year capital improvement project intended to improve the efficiency of traffic signal operations and the safety at intersections in the City. The proposed improvements include hardware with expanded vehicle detection capable of covering dilemma zones and vehicle travel times. The dilemma zone is the area approaching a signalized intersection where drivers face a decision when the light turns yellow; whether to stop or proceed through the intersection.
This equipment will be purchased through a vendor and installation will be performed by city staff.
