Scope of Work:
PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS — SR 806/ATLANTIC AVENUE AT HOMEWOOD BOULEVARD
- Increase the lighting to make pedestrians more visible to drivers and improve safety for nighttime users.
- Replace the existing span wire signal support system with steel mast arms to improve the resiliency of our infrastructure and replace the pedestrian signals with countdown pedestrian signals showing the number of seconds left to cross the street, improving safety.
- Install backplates with yellow retro-reflective borders on all signal heads to improve signal visibility for motorists.
- Replace the existing left turn signals with Flashing Yellow Arrow signals in eastbound and westbound directions, better informing left-turning motorists that they must yield to through traffic.
- Create a shared thru/left turn lane and an exclusive right turn lane on northbound Homewood, south of Atlantic and increase the right-turn radius to give right-turning motorists better visibility.
- Provide a 2-foot striped offset buffer at the eastbound and westbound left-turn lanes to allow left-turning motorist to better see opposing traffic.

- Replace the existing span wire signal support system with steel mast arms to improve the resiliency of our infrastructure and replace the pedestrian signals with countdown pedestrian signals showing the number of seconds left to cross the street, improving safety.
- Install backplates with yellow retro-reflective borders on all signal heads to improve signal visibility for motorists.
- Extend the eastbound dual left-turn lane for approximately 365 feet to improve the operation and safety of the intersection.
