fy 2012-13 proposed capital improvement budget - City of Dallas

STREET AND THOROUGHFARE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Target Neighborhood Improvement of substandard residential streets to
current City standards without requiring street petition. Property owners will
be assessed for a portion of the cost.
Thoroughfares Roadway projects that improve the capacity of a segment of
Roadway by constructing it to the standard identified on the Thoroughfare
Plan or CBD Streets and Vehicular Circulation Plan.
Traffic Devices - Illuminated Crosswalks Installation of mid-block
pedestrian crosswalks with illuminated pavement markers for increased
pedestrian safety.
Traffic Signal Control Equipment Upgrades Replace traffic control
equipment citywide (signal controllers and conflict monitors) that have
exceeded their design life. As electronic equipment ages, the number of
failures increases. Equipment reliability effects traffic safety and congestion.
Traffic Signal Upgrades Replacement of traffic signal hardware that is
structurally deficient, prone to being damaged by vehicles, and/or requires
operational improvement such as the addition of left turn signals or
pedestrian signals. In the Central Business District, signal poles will be
replaced by a streetscape-style hardware that have higher signal display
mounting heights providing better visibility.
Trinity River Transportation Related Projects Engineering studies, design,
initial right-of-way acquisition and construction of transportation related
improvements in the Trinity River Corridor.
