Palm Beach to install traffic signal at Bradley Place and Sunset Avenue in February
A traffic signal is coming to the intersection of Sunset Avenue and Bradley Place by the end of February.
The Town Council on July 8 unanimously voted to award AUM Construction a $909,395 contract while establishing a project budget of $1,045,804 for the traffic signal's installation. Council President Bobbie Lindsay did not attend the meeting.
Town Engineer Patricia Stayer told the council that staff will ensure preparations for the installation are completed by Nov. 1. That way, crews can start construction soon after the town receives the traffic signal's mast arm in February, she said.
Once the signal is installed, Palm Beach will then work to convert Sunset Avenue back into a two-way street, Strayer said. Sunset Avenue was converted to an eastbound one-way road in August 2023 to help ease the flow of traffic, but the change has since been met with continued criticism from residents.
'I think it's good for our residents to know that it will be going back to a two-way street,' Council Member Julie Araskog said. 'That was one of the things that a lot of our residents have brought to us.'
Strayer also noted that there would be minor modifications to Sunset Avenue's parking and sidewalk.
The effort to improve the intersection has been in the works for nearly a year. The Town Council in August unanimously approved a $149,782 contract tied to the design and production of the traffic signal's mast arm.
That came after a Public Works Department commission study by Susan O'Rourke Engineering and Planning found that a traffic signal was warranted at the intersection to help reduce traffic.
