<br />As part of an on -call contract with the City of Long Beach, Ardurra
<br />staff has prepared plans, specifications, and cost estimates for
<br />more than $15 million in improvements since 2009 and continues
<br />to work with the City through additional extensions of the original
<br />on -call contract. The projects encompass roadway, storm
<br />drain, parking lot improvements, traffic, lighting, and landscape
<br />improvements, design of more than 150 ADA-compliant curb and
<br />ramps, and focused on many of the major roadways within the
<br />city. Ardurra staff has consistently provided the City with well -
<br />designed projects facilitating smooth construction. Some recent
<br />projects include:
<br />Market Street Pedestrian Streetscape Enhancements
<br />(LA River to Easterly City Limits). Ardurra is providing
<br />engineering and design services for a Complete Street
<br />Project on Market Street between the LA River and Cherry
<br />Avenue, an approximate 1.9-mile stretch of the corridor. As
<br />stated on www.smartgrowthamerica.org, complete streets
<br />are designed and operated to enable safe access for all
<br />users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit
<br />riders of all ages and abilities. Complete streets make it
<br />easy to cross the street, walk to shops, and bicycle to work.
<br />They allow buses to run on time and make it safe for people
<br />to walk to and from train stations. The project consists of
<br />complete street improvements including Class IV bike
<br />lanes and other new bike/pedestrian facilities, bulb -outs,
<br />wayfinding signage, road diet with sidewalk extension,
<br />crosswalk and transit stop enhancements, construction/
<br />reconstruction of curb ramps for ADA compliance, repairing
<br />sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, reconstructing/resurfacing
<br />roadway pavement, landscaping and street trees, removing/
<br />relocating obstructions and utilities, and storm drain
<br />relocations. ($7 million)
<br />Atlantic Avenue Pedestrian Enhancements. Ardurra
<br />provided PS&E for pedestrian enhancement features,
<br />including bulb -outs, to minimize pedestrian crossing
<br />distances across Atlantic Avenue. The project also
<br />included 10 new ADA-compliant curb ramps and additional
<br />pedestrian lighting. The project limits are from 56th Street to
<br />59th Street.
<br />■ Delta Bike Boulevard Project. The $3 million project
<br />includes Class II and III bike lanes and shared lane
<br />markings, traffic circles, a roundabout, pavement repairs,
<br />a new traffic signal, anid wayfinding signage from Harbor
<br />Avenue from 10th Street to 20th Street, and Delta Avenue
<br />from 20th Street to
<br />Wardlow Road (an
<br />approximate 3-mile
<br />corridor). The project
<br />is funded through ATP
<br />grant and local match.
<br />■ 8 to 80 Project. The City received ATP funding more than
<br />$6 million to create facilities aimed at improving safety and
<br />removing barriers to walking/cycling for residents, workers,
<br />students, schoolchildren, and visitors to Long Beach.
<br />The B-80 project will provide bike boulevards along two
<br />corridors located within the city (four miles), as well as a
<br />road diet (one mile) with buffered bike lanes. Improvements
<br />include traffic circles, roundabouts, new traffic signals,
<br />bulbouts, bridge ADA upgrade, signing, striping, pavement
<br />repairs, and wayfinding signage. Ardurra is responsible for
<br />managing the project and grant funding in collaboration with
<br />City staff and the design consultant.
<br />■ Atlantic Avenue/Claiborne Drive Bulb -out. Ardurra
<br />provided design services for bulb -outs at the southeast
<br />corner of Atlantic Avenue and Claiborne Drive. Drainage
<br />patterns at this corner were reviewed to determine if a
<br />parkway culvert was required. The project also included
<br />removal of the existing crosswalks across Atlantic
<br />Boulevard.
<br />■ Atherton Street and Magnolia Avenue Street
<br />Rehabilitation. Preparation of three separate PS&E
<br />packages, totaling over 1.6 miles of roadway and dozens of
<br />curb ramps. The plans include roadway rehabilitation, the
<br />design of ADA-compliant ramps at numerous intersections,
<br />sidewalk repair to eliminate tripping hazards, and traffic
<br />signing and striping.
