The improvements include adding accessible pedestrian signal countdown signal indicators, new and revised ADA ramps, new or upgraded signal poles and units, conduit, wiring, and battery backup units, new and revised pavement markings, and revised traffic signal timing to create adequate pedestrian crossing time and leading pedestrian intervals.
