Phase 1:
4th Avenue Signals and Lighting Upgrade,
A Street to Cordova Street
(Project No. 18-33)
The purpose of this Phase 1 project was to upgrade street and pedestrian lighting and traffic signals, by replacing deteriorating and substandard lighting and signal poles, foundations, junction boxes, conduit, wiring, load centers and signal controller cabinets. The new energy efficient LED street lighting and signal equipment improved lighting levels and quality, reduced future maintenance and operations, improved operational reliability, conformed to current standards and codes, and improved safety.
In addition, this work improved pedestrian accessibility by replacing sidewalk and curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and enhanced business and tourism access in downtown Anchorage. Other enhancements included new updated pedestrian scale light fixtures that supported decorative banners and hanging flower baskets.
Construction began Spring 2020 and was completed in Summer 2021.
