I'm not sure what a reflective backplate is.
I brought my little handy-dandy...
visual aid, and it's basically a thing that goes around the signal head to raise the visibility of the signal to a motorist.
One thing here in Charlotte, we've done a great job.
Most of our signals already have LED signal indications.
It's a brighter light that you can see better.
All of our signal timing is done based on industry standards.
and it's done across the entire system.
And then we have reflective backplates at many of our signals and that's one of the first things we look at at intersections when we do have a fatal crash or some type of other crash pattern.
High cost improvements are what we mainly think of as dedicated turn lanes, full intersection reconstruction, and or site distance improvements.
Those projects tend to cost more than half a million dollars or more and can take multiple years for planning, right-of-way acquisition, and a lot of things that don't immediately address safety issues while the planning and construction are going on.
So based on that, we looked at a financial analysis for 10 intersections and assumed
based on feedback from several vendors that approximately $5,000 per month per intersection would be our program cost, so the annual program cost would be $600,000.
We used the $75 citation amount as just a benchmark and assumed 500 citations per month per location based on Peer City research.
It would result in $4.5 million of annual revenue,
Of that 4.05 million, we go to CMS.
That's their required disbursement from civil citations.
And then the city share would be $450,000.
That leaves around $150,000 gap in revenue versus program costs.
So I mentioned $150,000 gap.
