In December 2018, the city hired OHM Advisors to perform a Road Safety Audit (RSA) at the intersection. An RSA is a formal safety performance examination of an existing intersection by an independent, multi-disciplinary team.
OHM presented the final report to the city and Bronson, with several short-term and long-term suggested improvements.
The city has implemented many of the short-term improvements – sign reduction and sign placement improvements, bus stop relocation, and traffic signal back plate installation. The city funded these changes through the normal traffic signal maintenance fund.
We still plan to make pavement marking upgrades, and a signal timing modification that will give pedestrians a head start, while all other phases sit at a red signal.
