A&F ENGINEERING I CITY OF SOUTHBEND I SCHOOL ZONE FLASHING BEACONS I DES# 1801240 <br />SIMILAR PROJECT EXAMPLES <br />Project: HAWK system crossing <br />Client: City of Indianapolis <br />AT A GLANCE: <br />• First HAWK beacon in Indianapolis <br />® Part of larger CityWay development project <br />Designed to manage pedestrian traffic, particularly for <br />Lilly corporate campus <br />One of the traffic signal features of the CityWay project was the design and installation of the city's first HAWK (High -Intensity Activated <br />crossWalK) beacon to let pedestrians safely cross four lanes of traffic on Delaware Street, mid -block. The project was coordinated <br />closely with both the City and Eli Lilly and Company, since their employees make up the majority of pedestrian traffic during business <br />hours. A&F also coordinated with IPL to power the new signal. The HAWK signal, which brings cars to a gradual stop at the crosswalk <br />only when a pedestrian needs to use it, was an innovative solution to keeping traffic moving in a busy corridor, while also making the <br />area safer and friendlier to pedestrians. The HAWK signal is highly useful in managing peak pedestrian usage times, especially for Lilly <br />employees using the area at the start and end of workdays. <br />Project: School Zone Flashers <br />Client: City of Fishers <br />® Designed and installed 39 school zone flashers <br />® Coordinated with the power company for electrically <br />powered flashers <br />Conducted field investigations to identify any <br />conflicting geometry or utility conflicts <br />A&F Engineering designed the school flashers for the Fishers <br />and Hamilton Southeastern School Districts in Fishers, Indiana. <br />This project consisted of determining thirty-nine (39) flasher <br />locations for twenty-two (22) schools by coordinating between the <br />INDOT standard location, existing property lines, and the power <br />supply locations. The City of Fishers chose to utilize electric <br />power for their school zone flashers so coordinating with the <br />power companies for locations was necessary. A&F conducted <br />field investigations to identify conflicting geometry and utility <br />locations, and our team worked with Duke Energy and the City of <br />Fishers to determine the optimum locations for the flashers. We <br />then prepared exact locations for an updated City ordinance. <br />
