Background/Analysis/Issues: 

The City of Camden and Camden County have requested that DVRPC amend the  FFY2026 TIP for New Jersey by removing the New or Upgraded Traffic Signal Systems  at Intersections, Phase 2 (DB #D2021) project from the TIP, including the Final Design  (DES) and Construction (CON) phases in the amount of $3.214 M STBGP-PHILA  funding ($0.2 M FFY26 DES Phase/$3.014 M FFY32 CON Phase).  

The reason for removing the project is there is an overlap with the Local Freight Impact  funded Camden City Port Access Roads project. Therefore, Camden County will cover  the cost of the signal systems project using local funds. Aspects of the New or  Upgraded Traffic Signal Systems at Intersections, Phase 2 project have been incorporated into the broader scope of the ongoing Port Roads project. The DES Phase  for the Port Roads project is currently 60 percent complete, and construction is anticipated to begin this year. 

The New or Upgraded Traffic Signal Systems at Intersections, Phase 2 project was  planning to address various intersections that have deficient and/or obsolete traffic  signal infrastructure elements and/or have a vehicle and pedestrian crash history by  providing improvements to upgrade to modern industry requirements, improve traffic  signal operations, and pedestrian and bicycle improvements. The improvements  identified under that project will now be included in the Local Freight Impact funded  Camden City Port Access Roads project. The New or Upgraded Traffic Signal Systems  at Intersections, Phase 2 project was planning to include the replacement of five traffic  signals at intersections that were already included and partially designed as part of the  Port Roads Improvement project. This project will reconstruct the road, sidewalks,  curbing and traffic signals at these intersections as well as others. 

Financial Constraint:  

Financial constraint will be maintained by making adjustments to other existing TIP  projects whose schedules or costs have changed. The attached fiscal constraint charts 

provided by DVRPC show all of the adjustments taking place in accordance with the TIP  Memorandum of Understanding. All projects listed contribute to fiscal constraint. 

Conformity Finding: 

The TIP's current conformity finding will not be impacted by this amendment as this  project is not regionally significant. 

Cost and Source of Funds: 

Remove $3.214 M STBGP-PHILA 

The DVRPC Board approves TIP Action NJ26-010, the City of Camden and Camden  County’s request that DVRPC amend the FFY2026 TIP for New Jersey by removing the  New or Upgraded Traffic Signal Systems at Intersections, Phase 2 (DB #D2021) project  from the TIP including the DES and CON phases in the amount of $3.214 M STBGP PHILA funding ($0.2 M FFY26 DES Phase/$3.014 M FFY32 CON Phase).
