SLIDE 1
SR 6006 (Pennsylvania Avenue), SR 1017 (Market Street), and Water Street Intersection Improvement
City of Warren, Warren County, PA
SLIDE 2 Project Goals
– Reduce crashes – The intersection has a history of vehicles hitting fixed objects.
– Update inlets and pipes to current standards.
- Arterial Efficiency and Operations
– Signalized intersections within the city are not currently interconnected. – Improve traffic flow in the system.

Lighting/Signal Pole Options
Standard Poles (Galvanized)
– No additional cost to City
Standard Poles Painted Black
– No additional cost to City
Decorative Poles Painted Black
– City responsible for: $12,000 to $16,000/signal pole $2,000 to $4,000/light pole (generally half the cost)
SLIDE 26 Project Goals Satisfied?
– Statistically, roundabouts are safer than traditional signalized intersections. – Both alternatives will improve the geometry of the intersection and accommodate large vehicles.
– The existing drainage network will be improved with either alternative; however, the roundabout would require a more complex drainage system.
- Arterial Efficiency and Operations
– Both alternatives would improve the efficiency and operation of the arterial network.

SLIDE 28 What’s Next?
- PennDOT and the City of Warren are evaluating the two
alternatives for the intersection of (SR 6006) Pennsylvania Avenue, (SR 1017) Market Street, and Water Street.
– Signal Replacement and Retiming with Geometric Improvements – Single Lane Roundabout
- PennDOT and City officials will take public feedback into
consideration.
– Let us know your thoughts and concerns.
