Thacker Avenue Widening

CES provided the signalization, hardwire interconnection, signing and pavement marking designs as a subconsultant to Infrastructure Engineers, Inc. for the widening of Thacker Avenue from Donegan Avenue to West Carroll Street in Osceola County, Florida for the City of Kissimmee. The project involved the reconstruction of the existing 2-lane rural facility to a 4-lane divided curb and gutter roadway. CES provided plans for the construction of a new four pole mast arm signal at the intersection of Thacker Avenue and West Carroll Street utilizing video for vehicle detection. The signal was designed to be compatible with the City’s urban area pre-emption system, and included the City’s special requirements for red light confirmation fixtures, an uninterrupted power supply, internally illuminated street name signs. The final design also included the addition of delineated bike lanes and placement of underground conduit for future interconnection of West Carroll Street to the City’s fiber optic signal system. The project required close coordination with City’s proposed improvements along the north end of Thacker Avenue.
