DEPARTMENT:
Fire Rescue
SUMMARY:
The City of Edgewater staff has been working with FDOT on a grant to install an emergency traffic light in front of Fire Station 55. FDOT completed a signal warrant analysis in July 2022 to confirm the need.
An emergency traffic light in front of Fire Station 55 would be a critical piece of infrastructure that would support the timely and safe response of firefighters to emergencies, ultimately benefiting the citizens of Edgewater by reducing property damage and potentially saving lives.
FDOT notified the City of Edgewater that the design cost of the project would not be included with any future emergency traffic light grants. FDOT has recommended the City of Edgewater move forward with the design phase during the grant application process.
Halff Associates, Inc., an engineering firm, has submitted a proposal agreement not to exceed $113,010.00, for the project's design.
