NW 23rd Avenue at 16th Terrace Signal Design

This project located in Gainesville, Florida, included the design and construction of a mast NW 23rd at 16th Terrace arm signal to replace the existing span wire installation. Several innovative approaches were utilized to reduce overall project costs. The existing cabinet was reused as it was recently installed under a FDOT project. In order to provide value to the design, an extended manufacturer's warranty was provided by the design build team in order to provide an essentially new cabinet, but at a substantial cost savings. In addition, a special mast arm upright was designed to support the required luminaire on the north side of NW 23rd Avenue in order to avoid a conflict with a FDOT standard design pole. This approach allowed the overhead lines to be relocated on the existing poles and eliminate the need to replace the pole line while still allowing adequate illumination of the roadway.
