HAWK Crossing at Ramon Rd. & Avenida La
Paloma | City of Cathedral City, CA
The City of Cathedral City was awarded a HSIP
grant to construct a High-Intensity Activated
Crosswalk (HAWK) signal near the intersection
of Ramon Road & Avenida La Paloma to
address pedestrian and bicyclist collisions
between Candlewood Drive and Shifting Sands
Trail.
STC first worked with City staff and the
Cathedral City Police Department (CCPD)
Traffic Division to document reported traffic
collisions citywide during development of the
City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan. Analysis
identified the project area as a high priority
due to 11 collisions that occurred from 2015 to
2019, including one fatality, three severe
injuries, one bicycle collision, and five
pedestrian collisions.
STC evaluated the existing operations of
Ramon Road in greater detail at the onset of
the project and produced a Basis of Design
document to further analyze and determine
the preferred crossing location, configuration,
and traffic signal control type. Following
finalization of the preferred crossing
alternative, STC prepared the PS&E, RFA, and
assisted with the bidding process.
Other Cathedral City Projects:
• Local Roadway Safety Plan: STC
developed priority projects for
upgrading safety lighting and internally
illuminated street name signs to LED and
retro-reflective backplates at signalized
intersections citywide; installing
pedestrian hybrid beacons;
and upgrading existing pedestrian
crosswalks to include LED lighting, curb
extensions, curb ramps, flashing stop
sign beacons, high visibility striping, and
upgrades to existing roadway signing
and striping. Ramon Rd & Avenida La
Paloma (left) was identified as a priority
unsignalized location by the LRSP.
Additionally, recommendations were
presented for HSIP funding set-asides.
• HSIP Grant Applications: Cathedral City
has been pursuing HSIP grant funding
for infrastructure improvements that
enhance safety for all roadway users in
the City since 2011 and has been
successful in achieving millions of dollars
in HSIP grant awards authored by STC.
STC wrote all of the grant applications
for the projects in this RFP, helping the
City achieve more than $3.5M in HSIP
Cycle 11 grant funding alone.

Z-Crosswalk for El Camino Real | City of
Encinitas, CA
STC prepared design plans for a staggered or
Z-crossing crosswalk on El Camino Real to
provide a signalized pedestrian crossing
between shopping centers.
El Camino Real is a prime arterial, carrying six
travel lanes and divided by a raised landscaped
median. The previously uncontrolled left turns
in the median would soon become untenable,
as the City had approved plans for the
construction of large Starbucks café with drive
through capabilities. This was a challenging
design that had to consider the traffic
operations along the busy corridor and the
ADA requirements for the crossing. Upon
completion of the design plans, the City
commissioned STC to perform an operations
analysis of the corridor to ensure the most
efficient phasing and timing operations for this
complex traffic signal design.
