I have discussed traffic- and pedestrian-related issues on County road projects with County staff and the Office of the County Attorney. As a result of these discussions, potential causes or contributors to traffic- and pedestrian-related issues include unauthorized peak-hour lane closures, pedestrian access route closures, and traffic signal maintenance and operation within the project limits. Attached as Exhibit 1 is sample language providing for specific contract remedies against the contractor on a County road project if certain violations occur as well as for violations not remedied in a timely manner.
