Using city funds, this amendment will increase the contract with Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc. by $300,000, bringing the total to $425,000, to maintain pedestrian flashing beacons in West Hollywood until June 30, 2029. This ensures continued safety enhancements for pedestrians at crosswalks, potentially reducing accidents and improving walkability in the city.
For West Hollywood residents, this means that pedestrian flashing beacons, which are crucial for safe street crossings, will be reliably maintained. This can lead to safer walking conditions, especially in busy areas, and may encourage more walking as a mode of transport. Residents can expect these safety features to be operational and well-maintained through mid-2029.
The contract increase is funded by city funds.
