A resolution that will help clear the way for traffic signals to be installed at Airport Way and Wawona Street is before the Manteca City Council on Tuesday.
An agreement with Robinson Oil Corporation to make the signals a reality is on the agenda of the 6 p.m. meeting.
The $895,440 project that includes the signals and intersection upgrades is a condition of the company being allowed to build fueling facilities and a convenience store on the southeast corner of the intersection.
Wawona will eventually be extended westward and across the future extension of Milo Candini Drive and continue into the city’s family entertainment zone.
It is expected to connect with either the intersection already in place that has traffic signals at the entrance to the Great Wolf Lodge or another intersection also already in place that also has traffic signals between Great Wolf Way and McKinley Avenue.
The intersection of the Wawona Street and Milo Candini Drive extensions is where the city hopes to build a $56 million police station.
Traffic signals are also now being put in place along the Airport Way corridor in the coming months at Atherton Drive.
In addition, signals are also required to be put in place at Atherton and Woodward by a developer before work starts on 827 homes on the southwest corner of that intersection.
