Hi Denise,

 

The 50 APS that are committed in the central business districts are in the
design phase and will be constructed in 2022. Additionally, more will be
installed in 2022 through the traffic signal modernization - approximately
15/yr.  There are others being installed through other known projects,
starting in 2023.

 

Unfortunately, the design process takes a long time, but there will be a lot
of APS installed starting next year once construction begins.

 

There may have been some installed as part of 2021 projects, but I don't
have those numbers at this time. It will be easier to get those at the end
of the construction season. I don't have a list of the "to date" data. That
will take more time for CDOT to compile.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Laurie

[Warning: External email] 

 

Dear Laurie:

I am writing to find out how many audible pedestrian signals have been
installed in the city to date? At our meeting with Commissioner Arfa, she
said it was still ongoing. I just wanted to get an update. Do you have a
list of where they have been installed? Thank you.
