Project Experience Similar Projects Completed by Our Team The modernization of seven signals within the city of Elkhart involved the replacement of standard signal equipment, the design of nearly 20 curb ramps, and preemption phasing with an adjacent railroad crossing. Although many locations utilized existing signal poles, a thorough utility coordination process was required to facilitate the installation of pedestrian push buttons and eliminate overhead utility crossings within the limits of the span and catenary wires. UNITED used a unique approach atthe intersection ! of SR 19 and Main Street, where a dual -arm cantilever signal structure reduced the total number of signal pole foundations at the intersection. This method also allowed the signal service to be located in a more convenient location on the north side of the intersection. Six locations along state routes within the city of Fort Wayne were found to have substandard traffic signal equipment along with two separate locations within the INDOT Fort Wayne District. UNITED used space -saving techniques to reduce the footprint of newly installed equipment at each intersection, as the project required it to occur within the existing right- of-way. UNITED was able to use dual -arm cantilever signal structures at several intersections to reduce the number of new foundations installed and limit impacts to the right-of-way and utilities. In addition, UNITED coordinated with both INDOT and the city of Fort Wayne to ensure new signal control equipment was compatible with the City's existing traffic management system. Six locations along state routes within the city of Huntington were found to have substandard traffic signal equipment along with one location in Bluffton. Each intersection required new traffic signal equipment to be installed. Recent paving projects through the project intersections resulted in a desire to maintain the integrity of the new pavement. UNITED suggested the use of wireless vehicular detection at each intersection within the city of Huntington to meet the client's expectations. Through close coordination with a local Indiana supplier, UNITED provided the wireless design, complete with interconnection between the intersections.
