There has been substantive reconstruction activity along Main Street in the past few
years, This work included sidewalk reconstruction; work completed by utility
companies and other construction activities. There are five signalized intersections
where the vehicle detection system is not working due to cut off loops, poor
pavement condition, or other adverse impacts.
The intersections on Main Street requiring work and type of detection recommended
is as follows:
Concord Street/Amherst Street — add video detection equipment and two cameras
Franklin Street /Canal Street — add video detection equipment and two cameras
Water Street— install two underground loops
East Pearl Street — add video detection and two cameras
Hollis — install two underground loops
To accelerate the process of restoring detection on Main Street, five local signal
contractors who have been performing reputable and responsive work in Nashua over
the past decade were solicited for quotes. One firm responded by the May 18, 2016
deadline and is as follows.
Electric Light Company of Cape Neddick, ME $26,120.00
The cost proved by Electric Light Company is reasonable and their immediate
availability ensures the Main Street work will be accomplished in a more expedited
time frame.
