Approval of Resolution No. 06-12-09, which provides $425,000 for the upgrade of two span wire intersections on State Highway 6 as well as for the installation of decorative street lighting along Lexington Boulevard.

Executive Summary

Funding will be used to design and construct new decorative traffic signals at the intersections of State Highway 6 and Fluor Daniel Drive, and State Highway 6 and Grants Lake Boulevard.  The existing span wire intersections are nearing the end of their useable life and are in need of replacement.  The intersection will be constructed using decorative type poles to carry the decorative theme further down S.H. 6.  The funding will also be used to install decorative streetlights on Lexington Boulevard from S.H. 6 to Williams Trace to help alleviate issues with the tree canopy and the standard cobra-head lights that are currently installed.
