PK7. AGREEMENT 1-2354 Exhibit A -- ,.-..:.-- Preliminary Traffic Engineering The CONSULTANT will prepare preliminary traffic engineering plans for alllocations'\'here the CenterLine trains travel within a street or crosses a street, or where buses and cars are entering and exiting station sites. The CONSULTANT will undertake traffic analyses to detem1ine how optimally to handle the impacts the rail system will have on street traffic. In doing this work, the CONSULTANT will use all applicable traffic design criteria specific to local requirements, standards and land uses, For in-street running the CONSULTANT will evaluate signal priority vs, signal preemption over local traffic. In performing the traffic engineering work, the CONSULTANT will strive for and strongly encourage priority treatment to the rail system to ensure short and competitive CenterLine travel times. , , Where the rail line is nlnning in street, the entire line segment will be analyzed to determine expected impacts to street traffic. Traffic engineering options to alleviate the impacts will be evaluated and recommended, and preliminary traffic engineering designs will be prepared for the selected solution. This work will be done not only where the line affects on-street parking or traffic flow at intersections (including left and right turn movements), but at driveways where road vehicles enter/exit private property. In undertaking this work, the CONSULTANT will coordinate closely with local traffic engineers. The end product will be the depiction of all parking, through lanes, and turning lanes, on The CenterLine plan and profile drawings. Where the rail line only crosses a street, traffic engineering will recommend appropriate crossing protection appropri2.te for the given train speed. Each such crossing will have a design prepared (at I "=20') showing the crossing protection and street design, For station areas, the CONSULTANT will prepare traffic engineering studies for the circulation of traffic into and out of each site. The CONSULTANT, working with the local traffic engineers, will determine the optimal way to handle the traffic on the local streets and recommend to the station designer how best to circulate buses and cars within the station site. Especially important is to allow for rapid exiting from the station during the evening peak period, , The end product will be the incorporation of the traffic engineer's recommendation to the station site designer. Deliverables: The CONSULTANT will prepare the following as part of this work task: c The CenterLine plan and profile drawings will depict the recommended parking, through, and turning lane configurations shown on the rail alignment plan and profile drawings for the entire line section in-street running, ' . For each grade-crossing, drawings appropriate crossing protection. at a scale of 1"=20' depicting the layout of the c For each station, the recommended street and site circulation design to be shown on the station site plan, 28 ól'''''' .'
