MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, Richard R. Wilcox, Chairman
IN RE: COUNTYWIDE PHOTOLOGGING PROJECT AND GRANT-TRAFFIC IMPROVE
ASSOCIATION OF OAKLAND COUNTY
TO: OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Traffic Improvement Association of Oakland County, a private
non-profit organization for traffic safety, has created a computerized accident
locating system which has worked well for the past seven years; and
WHEREAS there is a need for an accurate Countywide street index which will
allow for the conversion of Oakland County's present system of locating accidents
to the Michigan Accident Location Index; and
WHEREAS there is also a need for a traffic regulatory and warning sign in-
ventory which will enable communities in Oakland County to obtain Federal funds
to install, replace or upgrade signs which are sub-standard or non-conforming;
and
WHEREAS these communities cannot avail themselves of funds needed for sign
upgrading and could be vulnerable to sizable law suits resulting from traffic
accidents in which defective signs are deemed to be a contributing factor; and
WHEREAS to meet these needs outlined above it is proposed that a photographic
log be made of the entire road network of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the primary purpose of the photolog would be to develop a street
index; and
WHEREAS a long-range benefit would enable communities to obtain a computer-
ized sign inventory from the photolog; and
WHEREAS Federal funds in the amount of $89,000 are available through the
State office of Highway Safety Planning for the Countywide Photologging Project
Grant for a period of one year from 9/1/75 to 8/31/76; and
WHEREAS there will be no County funding required; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has been requested by the Traffic Improvement Asso-
ciation of Oakland County to be the prime sponsor of this grant.
