64790 | MacDade Boulevard Closed Loop Signal System (Collingdale Borough & Glenolden Borough, Delaware County)
The project limits are along MacDade Boulevard from South Avenue to Cherry Street. The following 11 intersections are currently signalized and the equipment will be replaced with new state of the art controllers to allow for coordinated signalization and improved traffic flow management and pedestrian safety: (1) MacDade Boulevard & South Avenue; (2) MacDade Boulevard & Knowles Avenue; (3) MacDade Boulevard & Ashland Avenue; (4) MacDade Boulevard & Cooke Avenue; (5) MacDade Boulevard & Oak Lane (S.R. 2015); (6) MacDade Boulevard & Lafayette Avenue; (7) MacDade Boulevard & Woodlawn Avenue; (8) MacDade Boulevard & Clifton Avenue (S.R. 2013); (9) MacDade Boulevard & Felton Avenue; (10) MacDade Boulevard & Roberta Avenue; and (11) MacDade Boulevard & Cherry Street. The following two intersections are currently signalized, but the traffic signals will be removed and replaced with stop control for the side streets: (12) MacDade Boulevard & Jackson Avenue and (13) MacDade Boulevard & Sharon Avenue.
The system will initially be implemented with time of day programs. However, the system will be specified to be traffic responsive capable allowing traffic responsive timings and programs to be implemented in the future, if desired. The system will be a true ‘closed loop’ system where the system can be monitored from either a direct connect or remote central monitoring station. PennDOT’s District 6-0 Office will have direct access to the central monitor system and the main server will be located there. The municipalities will have access to the system through separate work stations via the internet (VPN). The traffic signals will be connected via fiber optic cable.
ADA compliant curb ramps, countdown hand/man pedestrian signal heads and pedestrian push buttons are proposed. Some of the intersections use standard red-yellow-green signals for pedestrians that will be replaced with universal hand/man pedestrian signal heads with countdown timers. The northbound approach of Oak Lane will be widened to provide a dedicated left turn lane. This road segment is included in the Delaware County Bicycle Plan. SEPTA's Route 107 and 113 buses use this road.
