ATTACHMENT 1
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
There are currently 52 signalized intersections in and adjacent to the City of Diamond
Bar and more are being planned.
The City of Diamond Bar proposes to have a City-wide Master Plan for Traffic Signal
Interconnect prepared. This Master Plan will include the following information:
➢ Existing and potential future signalized intersections.
➢ Existing interconnect links.
y Future interconnect links.
➢ Interconnect routing to City Hall.
A table showing details such as size of existing and future interconnect conduit, the
side of street the conduit is or should be in, and the size of existing or future
interconnect cable.
➢ A table with estimated costs for each interconnect segment and a recommended
priority for construction.
The City of Diamond Bar is also proposing that once the mater plan has been finalized
and approved by the City, the construction plans and specifications for projects as
identified by the master plan would then be prepared.
The preparation of a city-wide master plan for traffic signal interconnect and construction
plans and specifications for the traffic signal interconnect system are the first elements
necessary in the development of a centralized traffic management center. As
interconnect links are constructed and once the centralized traffic management center is
in place, the City will be able to monitor the system operation, implement timing
programs and compile traffic data throughout the City, as well as, improving regional
traffic mobility.
