title

Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement for the Maintenance of Traffic Signals at the Intersection of Laraway Road and Marcella Avenue with Cassens Transport Company

end

 

BACKGROUND:

The Site for the future Cassens Transport Company will be accessible from a new connection at the intersection of Laraway Road and Marcella Avenue.  This new south leg of the intersection will be a private driveway into Cassens Transport Company.  As Cassens is the sole beneficiary of this private connection, they will be responsible for 25% of the costs to maintain the traffic signal.  This agreement ensures that the traffic signals at the intersection of Laraway Road and Marcella Avenue are properly maintained, benefiting both the City and Cassens Transport Company.  Under the proposed Agreement, the City will pay for the cost of signal maintenance, and Cassens Transport Company will reimburse the City for a portion of the costs.

 

The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

The traffic signals at these locations are maintained by the City.  A license and maintenance agreement are required for a private entity to place private signage within City right-of-way.  Attached is a Resolution Approving an Agreement for the maintenance of traffic signals located at the specified locations.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

recommendation

Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and the City Council approve the attached Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement for the Maintenance of Traffic Signals with Cassens Transport Company.
