Discussion:
The current draft Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes a 2023 Traffic Signal CSAH 101 and Shenandoah Drive Project, CIF-23-016. This project includes the design and construction of turn lanes and a traffic signal at CSAH 101 and Shenandoah Drive and the construction of an additional northbound traffic lane along Shenandoah Drive just north of Unbridled Avenue, including easement acquisition (see attached draft CIP summary sheet). The advancement of the design is being requested now to provide adequate time for project design and procurement.
