RELEVANT EXPERIENCE School Flashers City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works - Indianapolis, IN Project Manager for this effort to upgrade school speed zone and crosswalk signs to improve compli- ance by drivers and safety for students. Previously, Indianapolis school zone speed limits were in effect from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm, school days. The upgraded signs are in effect"when flashing" and include two amber flashing beacons per assembly. New crosswalk signs were installed along with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB), which are activated by the pedestrian. Phase 1 included — 200 sign assemblies at 75 schools constructed in 2016. The second phase included — 260 sign assemblies at 95 schools and was also constructed in 2016. The third phase includes — 135 flashers at 40 schools and was constructed in 2017. Phase 3 also included upgraded communications hardware in the speed flashers for all three phases. Shrewsberry was responsible for researching and programming flashers for the 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 school years. Bloomington School Zone Flashers City of Bloomington - Bloomington, IN The City of Bloomington received HSIP funding for the improvement of school zones and school related pedestrian crossings throughout the City of Bloomington. This project seeks to replace static signs with flashing beacons to improve driver awareness of school zones, as well as add and update various static signs near the school zones to meet current Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (IMUTCD) standards. These signs will primarily focus on school zones and pedestrian crossings. In addition, this project will upgrade pedestrian crossings within the vicinity of the school zones. Jill is the Project Manager responsible for the engineering and design work for this project. The estimated letting for this project is December 11, 2019 and it has an estimated construction cost of $500,000. Pedestrian Signal Head Replacement City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works - Indianapolis, IN Project manager responsible for the funding application and thedesign and implementation for this project to replace all remaining standard pedestrian heads with LED countdown -style heads. Over 400 intersections and over 2,300 heads were included in the project, for a projected construction cost of $1.5 million. The project was constructed in 2016. School Zone Study Huntington County - Huntington County, IN Project Manager responsible for developing a study to address the county's concerns regarding safety in school zones. The County schools are in rural areas without posted speeds, and the County had no school zone speed ordinance. Jill collected speed data, which provided background data for setting speed ordinances and recommended speed limits and school zone speed limits. In addition, since the existing signage was not in compliance with changes in the Indiana MUTCD, plan sheets were created showing the location of existing and recommended school zone signage. Shrewsberry has been awarded similar projects in Avon, Greenwood and Franklin and will commence design work in 2019. SHREWSBERRY & ASSOCIATES I CITY OF SOUTH BEND
