Department Project Title Project Number
Public Works Transportation Management Project Equipment ST2102
Project Description
This project will build on the Traffic Management Project approved in the 2019-20 CIP budget by upgrading ten intersections to be
compatible with our new central synchronization software:

1) Rufe Snow: (Meadow Lakes, Loop 820, Tapp, Dick Lewis, Iron Horse, Starnes), 2)Mid-Cities: Iron Horse, Holiday 3) Davis
Blvd.: College Circle, Emerald Hills

The new equipment includes controllers, vehicle detectors and communications systems. The plan is to systematically upgrade
existing traffic signals each year until the entire transportation system is connected and complete.

Project Justification
One of the goals of the Traffic Division is to have the safest and most effective and efficient transportation system. With the
implementation of the new central synchronization software the Traffic Divisions goal is to expand the boundaries from the initial
project to better serve the residents of North Richland Hills. This system will operate using engineer-designed timing plans that are
the basis for the traffic signal coordination. The software and equipment working in concurrence has the ability to communicate with
the Service Center and Traffic Technicians alerting them by email or text message of a malfunctioning traffic signal, which will
reduce signal malfunction down time and delays to motorists. Currently the only way Public Works is notified of a malfunction is by
a resident making a report or City staff member observes it during their shift. The program also has the capabilities to collect traffic
data, which will be used to establish timing plans along these cooridors based on actual demand to address traffic flow and
congestion concerns.
Note: Project funding source is the Street Reserves.
