The signal, located at the intersection <br />of Coburg Road and Frontier Drive (about 1,000 feet south of Harlow Road), is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday <br />morning, Feb. 22. <br /> <br />The signal and accompanying intersection improvements are the result of a public-private partnership designed to <br />increase safety and improve commercial access in the rapidly developing Coburg Road area. The new signal is <br />designed to serve the Coburg Station shopping area and businesses on the west side of the road, as well as the <br />commercial and residential developments on the east side of the road. Under the “privately engineered public <br />improvement” partnership, the owners of the Coburg Station commercial development paid approximately $240,000 <br />to install the signal and agreed to design and construct the signal and crosswalks to meet City traffic standards. The <br />City agreed to take ownership of the signal after it is completed and to pay the ongoing costs of operating and <br />maintaining the signal. <br /> <br />The new signal is interconnected with other Coburg Road signals to maximize traffic flow on Coburg Road. <br />Approximately 33,000 vehicles a day travel through this section of Coburg Road, and the new signal will allow safer <br />turning and traffic queuing options for the estimated 1,000 people driving to and from the commercial areas in the <br />vicinity of Frontier Drive each day. The new traffic signal includes a flashing yellow arrow function for <br />protected/permissive turns from Coburg Road. Both the traffic and pedestrian signals use energy-efficient LED <br />technology, and the pedestrian signals include both audible and visual countdown features. This signal brings to 241 <br />the number of traffic signals in Eugene. <br /> <br />For more information about the signal project, contact Senior Transportation Planner Gary McNeel at 541-682-8451 <br />or City Traffic Engineer Tom Larsen at 541-682-4959. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />February 17, 2011 <br />
