Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution for an agreement between the city of Ann Arbor and the Costco Wholesale Corporation for the modifications to the traffic signal at the corner of S. State Street and Airport Drive-Research Park Drive in the City of Ann Arbor.
The City of Ann Arbor, working with the Washtenaw County Road Commission, has developed mitigation measures for the proposed Costco development on Airport Boulevard north of Ellsworth Road. The modifications to the traffic signal at Airport Drive-Research Park Drive should address the anticipated traffic congestion issues and improve pedestrian safety at the intersection.
The Costco Wholesale Corporation has agreed to reimburse the City of Ann Arbor for the modification of the traffic control devices at the intersection of S. State Street and Airport Boulevard-Research Park Drive, in an amount not to exceed $60,815.00.
The City’s Field Operations staff will install the signal equipment to ensure the signal conforms to The City’s Traffic Control System standards and the utilization of our standard traffic signal equipment. The modified traffic signal will remain in the City’s traffic control system and will be maintained as such. The City’s inventory requirements and technician training needs will not be affected.
