RFP-UC18-025 - CITY OF KINGSTON TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT EVALUATION

The Ulster County Planning Department as host Agency for the Ulster County Transportation Council (“UCTC”) is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit responses from qualified consulting firms to assist the UCTC in traffic signal warrant evaluation in the City of Kingston Stockade Area (see figure 1).
 
The primary objectives of the City of Kingston Stockade Area Signal Warrant Evaluation (“the Evaluation”) are to evaluate the continued need for selected traffic signals in the study area utilize appropriate safety and operational data and, if no longer needed, prioritize their removal.  In addition, the evaluations will include recommendations to ensure continued intersection safety and operational effectiveness for pedestrians, cyclists and the driving public for each signal location.
 
The Evaluation will leverage the momentum of ongoing projects – including Kingston’s 2017 NYS Downtown Revitalization Initiative award – to create a cohesive approach to safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian movement in the study area.
