Background
For the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 11 grant, 286 projects were selected from a candidate pool of 434 applications. In 2023, the City of Lake Elsinore (City) secured the Cycle 11 grant to upgrade nine (9) existing pedestrian crossings throughout the city, where locations were selected based on historical collision data.
The agreement will authorize KOA to start the design to install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) signs at nine (9) existing pedestrian crossings at various locations throughout the city. The intersections were determined through a city-wide safety analysis while preparing the HSIP Cycle 11 application for funding. All proposed pedestrian crossing locations are at intersections or mid-blocks site where there is a high presence of pedestrian traffic such as close proximity to schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods. The locations are at the following:
