This project is funded by the Highway Safety <br />Improvement Plan (HSIP) funds, and primarily seeks to replace static signs with flashing beacons to <br />improve driver awareness of school zones. <br />The City of Bloomington has updated their City Ordinance to require flashing beacons to be placed <br />in advance of crosswalks where children are expected to cross public streets on their way to or from <br />schools. Current signage in Bloomington required drivers to reduce speed "When Children Are Present! <br />The construction of the flashers and clearly defined school zones will help to eliminate driver confusion <br />as to when the reduced speed condition is school zones is required. The overall goal is to improve driver <br />compliance in the reduction of travel speed during the times of day when it is most needed. <br />This project will also add and update various static signs in the vicinity of the school zones to meet <br />current Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (IMUTCD) standards. These signs will primarily <br />focus on school zones and pedestrian crossings. <br />Shrewsberry has been retained by the City of Bloomington to perform the engineering and design <br />work for this project.The estimated letting for this project is December 11, 2019 and it has an estimated <br />construction cost of $500,000, <br />SHREWSBERRY & ASSOCIATES 9 CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />
