PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TOWN OF BROWNSBURG | BROWNSBURG, IN SERVICES PROVIDED: • Roadway Design • Pedestrian Facility Design • Signage Design • Pavement Marking Design • Utility Coordination The Town of Brownsburg undertook this project to improve pedestrian crossing and safety at various intersection located near schools. These improvements will create a safer, more walkable, accessible, and pedestrian friendly Town of Brownsburg. The proposed improvements included the reconstruction of curb ramps and sidewalk at 11 intersections to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), roadway widening to accommodate a pedestrian refuge island at one intersection, the installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at all curb ramp locations, updated high visibility pavement markings, and additional street lighting. The project also included updates to school zone signage including the installation of school zone flashing beacons. These beacons clearly define periods of speed reduction from times of day to “when flashing.” The desire, with the more clearly defined conditions, is improved driver compliance with reducing travel speeds in school zones. Various school zone related static signage was also installed and replaced as a part of this project. Shrewsberry provided engineering design services and helped to guide this project though all stages of the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) design process. This work included managing a team of subconsultants who performed the environmental documentation, survey, and right-of-way engineering and purchasing. Shrewsberry also stayed with this project through completion of construction, remaining available to answer questions from the contractor and construction inspection team. 25TH STREET & DELAWARE INDIANAPOLIS DPW | INDIANAPOLIS,IN SERVICES PROVIDED: • ADA Curb Ramp Design • Pavement Marking Design • Signage Design This project consisted of the design and reconstruction of pedestrian safety improvements for a half- mile radius around the intersection of 25th & Delaware. The project consisted of curb ramp design at 26 intersections and pavement marking/signage improvements at 53 intersections. Major arterials and collectors were given priority for pedestrian improvements over local streets because of higher traffic volume. Generators of pedestrians included schools, transit lines, city parks, and libraries. Schools in the area include: Ivy Tech, The Oaks Academy, Phalen Academy, and Carpe Diem Schools. Eight IndyGo bus routes pass through the area. Six IndyGo stops located within the project area are in top five percent of boardings/ alightings in the IndyGo system.
