JLB Traffic Engineering, Inc. (JLB) was retained by the City of Selma to design traffic signal plans for the intersection of Floral Avenue at Wal-Mart Drive, signal modifications for the intersection of Floral Avenue at State Route 99 southbound off-ramp, street lighting for approximately 1,200 feet of Floral Avenue and a signal interconnect system between the two signals. Mr. Jose Luis Benavides, P.E. is the project manager and traffic engineer of record on this project. This project includes the design of intersection geometrics, traffic signals, safety lighting, street lighting, signal interconnect and assistance with the PG&E electrical point of service.

The Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) Package for the traffic signal was prepared in accordance with the City of Selma as well as Caltrans guidelines. The PS&E is currently at 100% and awaiting approval. JLB will also provide bidding and construction support.
