Safe Route to Schools Kimley-Horn provided civil and traffic engineering services to the City of Berkeley for the design of intersection improvements at several locations along Telegraph Avenue in compliance with the City of Berkeley Safe Routes to School grant. The improvements included adding curb extensions at the returns, constructing channelization islands, drainage improvements, and signing and marking improvements. Safe Routes to School Funding Kimley-Horn was selected by the City of Los Altos to address the need for increased pedestrian and bicycle safety near Loyola Elementary School, located along Berry Avenue, which lacked sidewalks and bicycle facilities. As a result, students had to use the traffic lanes to walk or bike to school. During peak school hours, the street was congested as parents and students arrived or left the vicinity. As part of a Safe Routes to School grant, Kimley-Horn prepared a study to identify typical traffic calming measures, their effectiveness and general applications, as well as recommended measures that should be applied to address the traffic concerns surrounding the school site. Originally, the grant intended that a roundabout be installed near the school; however, during preliminary analysis we determined that movements of large vehicles would be restricted because of the constrained right-of-way and that residential driveways were too close to the circulating roadway of the roundabout. During the project, we worked closely with City staff and school administrators to reach consensus on the best solution. Measures included raised crosswalks and speed tables, school signage, a new class I bikeway, and pedestrian access way improvements to reduce school -related traffic congestion. MANAGER: JIM WEST PROJECT ENGINEER: TED MOSS Kimley-Horn was asked by the City of Cupertino to address the need for increased pedestrian and bicycle safety near Monta Visa High School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Kennedy Middle School. The schools were located along busy streets and experienced high traffic volumes and frequent speeding. During peak school hours, streets near the schools were congested as hundreds of parents and students arrived or left the vicinity. The traffic calming study identified typical traffic calming measures, their effectiveness, and general applications, as well as recommended measures that should be applied to address the traffic concerns surrounding the school sites. Recommended measures included raised crosswalks and speed tables, new stop signs and school signage, automated crosswalks systems, pedestrian countdown signals, pedestrian accessway improvements, modifications to student drop-off and pick-up areas, and changes to school policies and procedures to reduce school -related traffic congestion. Safe Routes to School imley-Horn worked with the City to prepare a safe routes to school and traffic calming plan surrounding the Oak Knoll School in Menlo Park. The neighborhood lacked sidewalks and bicycle lanes, while experiencing high traffic speeds and volumes. Our staff worked with the school and residents to preserve the rural feel of the neighborhood while creating safe locations for pedestrians to walk and cyclists to ride. The City has implemented the first phase of the project that included new crossings, signs, striping, sidewalk, parking restrictions, and other features to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. We also worked closely with the PTA and neighborhood leaders to reach consensus on additional improvements to be completed in a second phase. Safe Routes to School Funding Mr. Jamal Rahimi Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning City of Menlo Park Kimley-Horn provided civil, traffic, and electrical services for the City of Belmont. This project included an evaluation of existing pavement conditions, pavement design, establishing limits for areas of street reconstruction, surveying and mapping, designing raised landscaped median islands, curb ramps, in addition to a signal modification and street light modifications through the project length. Kimley-Horn prepared PSEtE documents for the project. In addition, Kimley-Horn coordinated the project with utility companies, including various relocation of facilities within the project Since the program's inception four years ago, David Parisi has been the program engineer for Marin's Safe Routes to School program. He works with SR2S committees to identify physical barriers to walking and bicycling to and from school, and coordinates with the town, city, and county public works officials in determining appropriate improvement measures. David helps SR2S committees prioritize improvements ranging from school area signing and pavement markings to traffic calming projects to major capital improvement measures such as reconfigured intersections and new pathways. He has assisted over 30 schools in Marin and prepared successful grant applications for over $2 million in SR2S funding. was the project manager for San Jose's 208 -school School Access Enhancement Program. He led a joint city and consultant team in evaluating existing access issues at the elementary and middle schools in a 17 -district city. David developed a toolbox of educational, encouragement, enforcement, and engineering improvement measures. Improvement plans were developed for each school, consisting of short-term and long-range measures to be implemented by school and city agencies. his was an on-call service contract to provide topographic surveys, mapping and drafting services along with construction staking for LLNL projects. Tasks ranged from small areas of topographic mapping to the mapping of the entire Site 300 Complex. Often, Mountain Pacific Surveys was required to perform high accuracy alignment surveys under very restrictive time constraints. ITexas Street Redevelopment - Fairfield, CA his project involved design and construction surveys for the reconstruction of 8 blocks of commercial area in downtown Fairfield. Improvements included new intersection signalization, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, roadway sections, relocation of utilities, storm drainage, landscaping, and lighting. Upon completion of construction, a Record of Survey was prepared and recorded to reflect the new street monumentation. IHighway 80/N. Texas Street Interchange - Fairfield, CA etermination of existing state right-of-way and preparation of legal descriptions and right of way map for realignment of freeway ramps. This project also included the preparation of topographic surveys to facilitate design efforts as well as the management and performance of all construction staking. Open -Ended Survey Contract - Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, CA opographic surveys performed at the direction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in areas damaged by the Loma Prieta earthquake. This work consisted of profile, cross-sectional and hydrographic data collection with an emphasis on timely delivery. Mountain Pacific Surveys was presented a certificate of accomplishment by the C.O.E. recognizing the firm's effort on this project. The areas of work were the San Lorenzo and Pajaro Rivers along with the Santa Cruz Harbor. City of San Rafael has received approximately $300,000 in funding to design and implement Safe Routes to School infrastructure improvements for the Bahia Vista School and Vallecito School in the City of San Rafael.
