WHAT ARE WE UP TO?
Emergency Portable Signal Trailer Acquisition Last month, Public Works & Sustainability’s Signal Maintenance division acquired a knockdown portable signal trailer to serve as an emergency replacement for damaged traffic signal poles. Designed to meet Federal Highway Administration standards, this trailer will provide temporary traffic control in cases where a signal pole is severely damaged and cannot be immediately repaired. Special thanks to La’Ron Ferguson, Erick Johnson, John Mendoza , and Shehnaz Gosla for coordinating the acquisition and implementation of this critical resource.

enhancing the safety of the intersection of Warner Avenue and Santa Ynez with a new solar-powered radar-activated LED stop sign integration. The signs are activated and blink when vehicles/ bicycles are about 400 feet away from the intersection using a radar-activation device. The location was chosen because of its proximity to a school and a park, as well as the difficulty in seeing around a four-lane road with a curve and long pedestrian crossing. The pilot installation and evaluation of its operation will assist staff in determining the potential for broader application within the City.
