BOSTON- TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS AT 18 LOCATIONS

This Boston project will upgrade twelve (12) traffic control signals and to install six (6) new signals (a total of 18 locations). Existing devices are outdated and require additional functionality to meet MUTCD standards. Some traffic signals will include communication cable and field equipment (local controllers, detectors, etc). Certain locations will be connected to the Boston Transportation Department central traffic computer system, which will allow remote monitoring and real time adjustments to timing. Sidewalk ramps will be reconstructed as needed in order to meet current AAB standards. All signals will be retimed based on current traffic volumes. Certain locations require minor geometric changes to improve safety and operations. The locations are Arlington Street at Beacon and Embankment Road; Arlington at Marlborough; Cambridge at North Harvard; Cambridge at Lincoln; Cambridge at Harvard and Franklin; Cambridge at Windom; Pleasant at Stoughton; Pleasant at Savin Hill; Waltham at Washington; Ceylon at Quincy; Dudley at Shirley; Cummins Highway at Rockdale; Cummins Highway at Woodhaven; Cummins Highway at Harvard; Washington at West Concord; Bennington at Brooks and Havre; Bennington at Marion and one additional location to be determined.
