Computerized Traffic Analysis Effort Funded
The city has received a $12,550 grant from the state to install a computer program that will analyze traffic on city streets.
The city staff will log information such as vehicle accidents and traffic flow on the computer program, which in turn will identify ways to solve problems, City Manager Robert Dominguez said.
The state grant also will provide money to train city employees how to use the new computer equipment, he said.
Dominguez said the computer program could indicate whether the city needs to alter timing at some stoplights and install traffic signals in locations where accidents frequently occur.
It also could help the city with long-range plans by indicating which streets may need to be widened to accommodate the number of motorists, he said.
