PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />This project will involve the replacement of sidewalk and curb ramps within the Our Lady of Hungary Neighborhood to improve <br />pedestrian safety and accessibility. While these improvements will center around routes used by school-aged children, Shrewsberry <br />knows they also benefit pedestrians of all ages. <br />The neighborhood is primarily made up of residential housing. Indiana Avenue generally bounds the Our Lady of Hungary Neighborhood to <br />the north, Ewing Avenue to the south, Olive Street to the west, and Franklin Street to the east. The graphic below shows the project area <br />and highlights the location of local schools, existing thoroughfares, bus routes, and key pedestrian trip generators. <br />INVENTORY SIGN <br />ANALYSIS <br />CONTRACT <br />DOCUMENTS <br />LETTING & <br />CONSTRUCTION <br />FUTURE <br />MAINTENANCE <br />SECTION 2 <br />PROJECT <br />APPROACH <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />The following paragraphs describe the steps taken to complete the sign project: <br />Major Thoroughfares <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />This project is unique because specific planned improvements have not been clearly defined. It will instead be the responsibility of the <br />selected design team to identify necessary pedestrian improvements and safe routes to school routes. <br />Similar to this unique type of pedestrian improvement project, the Shrewsberry team has recent relevant experience as the prime <br />consultant on the City of Indianapolis’ Pedestrian Crash Focus Area 14B (PCFA 14B) project. PCFA 14B is one of several pedestrian <br />improvements in the works by the City of Indianapolis to update pedestrian safety and accessibility in locations identified as having a <br />high number of pedestrian-related crashes. <br />PCFA 14B had a city-identified project area with unidentified improvements much like this project. As the prime consultant on PCFA <br />14B, Shrewsberry has reviewed the project area, field investigated over 600 locations, determined appropriate improvement projects, <br />and prepared a preliminary engineering report that assigned cost estimates and prioritization to each of the 600+ scouted locations. <br />Since completing the preliminary engineering report, Shrewsberry has worked with the City of Indianapolis to identify improvements <br />Bus Routes <br />School <br />Church <br />Park <br />Armed Forces Reserve <br />SHREWSBERRY & ASSOCIATES  PROjECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH <br />SOUTH BEND  OUR LADY OF HUNGARY NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALKS AND ADA RAMPS (DES.
