CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The traffic interconnect feature, of the Baseline Street
Traffic Signal System, is not in working order. Repairs cannot
be made, since parts are not available due to the age of the
system.
Interconnecting traffic signals allows for vehicles to
progress with fewer stops. Every time a vehicle is required to
stop, an additional amount of pollutants are emitted. Also,
every stop creates the potential for a rear-end accident.
Modification of those traffic signals to provide for
traffic progression will result in less pollutants and fewer
opportunities for accidents.
We recommend that a finding be made that the modification
of these traffic signals is needed for health and safety reasons.
