Karen,
Hello and hope you are well. I wanted to make you aware of a change that we
had to make at 7th/23rd due to subsurface conditions that we found during
installation.
Due to subsurface conditions we were unable to install a new signal pole on the
south curb of the southeast corner of the intersection. We had planned to
install this pole adjacent to the ramp so the APS would be within easy reach
for the east leg crossing of W 23rd Street. Instead we will install this APS
on an existing pole which (not ideally) is closer to the pedestrian ramp for
the crossing of Seventh Avenue. The vibrating tactile arrow will still point
toward 23rd Street. The APS for the crossing of Seventh Avenue will not be on
the same pole but rather on a new pole being installed in the pedestrian refuge
island in excess of 10 feet west of the southeast corner.
Please let me know if this makes sense.
Thanks, Margaret
