Subject:Request for Purchase: Professional Services for France Ave Pedestrian Crossing Action   


 





ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Request for Purchase for Professional Services for France Ave Pedestrian Crossing with LHB for $80,000.

INTRODUCTION:

The idea of connecting the promenade to a new west promenade has been guided by various design standards and studies. An opportunity exists with potential development projects on each side of France Avenue between Gallagher Drive and 72nd Street to add a pedestrian crossing under France Avenue. This could create a much safer crossing of France Ave in that area. Currently users need to cross many lanes of France Ave at a traffic signal.

 

This contract will narrow possible improvement options to a preferred one or few for future study. It will identify options that are feasible and meet engineering standards.
