Dear Ms. Pickler,
As requested, Ardurra Group, Inc. (Ardurra) is pleased to present this letter proposal to the City of Lakewood (City) to provide Neighborhood Traffic Calming consulting services as requested. It is our understanding that we will provide an in-depth analysis of lessons learned from typical traffic calming applications and speed and pedestrian safety. We will provide first-hand engineering experience regarding which tools are effective and the circumstances that precipitated the success. We will also explore tools that are proven not to work and provide engineering judgement regarding their ineffectiveness. We will also focus our evaluation on vehicle/pedestrian collisions and which tools will mitigate them, if any.
Our proposed scope of work will address residents’ concerns regarding speeding on residential streets with proven countermeasures, and highlight the following:
Conduct a comprehensive research and literature review, including local jurisdictions, to identify various traffic calming methods and their effectiveness. Review various documents that provide the City’s history of service requests regarding speeding on residential streets, and other City resources concerning pedestrian and traffic safety. Create a list of residential street hotspots regarding speeding concerns. Recommend a list of actions to be taken to address residential speeding.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
We propose the following scope of services during the course of this engagement:
1. Kick-off meeting to discuss the project, including the following:

KEY PERSONNEL
We propose Ruth Smith, TE, PTP and Angelina Miralaie to provide these services as they are traffic calming experts in the industry and have been providing traffic calming services to a variety of communities in Southern California for over 40+ years. Nicole Jules, PE will serve as the Project Manager and will be your primary contact for administrative needs. We are confident that our team possesses the experience and skills necessary to work with City staff and to successfully deliver the required services. Below are short biographies highlighting both Ruth’s and Angelina’s traffic calming experience.
Nicole Jules, PE – Nicole offers 28 years of transportation engineering and management experience having managed a team of traffic engineers for over 2 decades and working for local agencies while providing and advising on traffic calming techniques and strategies. Nicole has provided these services to local agencies including the cities of Costa Mesa, Rancho Palos Verdes, Compton, Hermosa Beach, Eastvale, Wildomar, San Jacinto, Palm Desert, Redondo Beach, Oxnard, Santa Maria, Hanford, Vallejo, and Antioch to name a few.
Ruth Smith, TE, PTP – Ruth offers over 40+ years of traffic engineering experience having served dozens of cities in Southern California including the cities of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Rancho Palos Verdes, San Marino, Compton, San Juan Capistrano, Eastvale, Wildomar, Vallejo, and Elk Grove to name a few. Her categorical experience is highlighted below:
Speed-Related Traffic Calming
1. City of Compton: Updated the Speed Hump Policy, including the addition of speed cushions, and determining when they should be used versus speed humps. The update also included reviewing the existing policy and researching programs in other cities. Managed the Speed Hump Program, which included re-starting the program, resident interface, evaluating resident requests, coordinating with the Sheriff’s Department and Fire Department, and assisting City staff with the balloting process and City Council staff reports. Also helped the City develop measures to address intersection take-overs (no successful measures have yet been found, despite research).
2. City of Santa Ana: Developed and managed the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP), which included speed humps and traffic diverters. The development of the NTMP included researching programs in other cities and applying the best practices to create the City’s policy, including speed hump design. Program management included resident interface, data collection, coordinating with Police, Fire and Community Development, neighborhood meetings, balloting, presentations to the Environmental and Transportation Advisory Commission and City Council, determination of speed hump placement, supervision of traffic diverter/street closure design, and oversight of device installations. The City’s speed hump program was successful and well received by the residents – Santa Ana was installing and retaining speed humps when other cities were removing them due to resident complaints. The difference was in the speed hump design and placement. Also expanded, enhanced, and managed the Permit Parking Program.
3. City of Eastvale: Prepared a draft Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan, which included a trial run in one neighborhood. The preparation included researching programs in other cities and best Ms. Kelli Pickler

1960 East Grand Avenue, Suite 300 | El Segundo, CA 90245 | www.ardurra.com practices nationwide. Assisted with the consideration, design and implementation of minor traffic calming measures, particularly white edge lines to narrow the roadway.
4. City of San Marino: Considered different alternatives to reduce speeds on a residential street that paralleled and terminated at the City’s major thoroughfare, including edge line striping, a lateral shift of the centerline, bulb-outs/chokers, chicanes and raised intersections. The evaluation included an initial screening of a variety of traffic calming measures regarding their applicability to the particular roadway. The City elected to go with edge line striping.
5. City of Costa Mesa: Assisted with the consideration and design of white edge lines to reduce traffic speeds.
Midblock Xwalk-Related Traffic Calming
1. City of Hanford: Reviewed 12 existing midblock crosswalks in the downtown shopping area to determine if they should be removed or enhanced. Enhancements included upgrading to current ADA standards and providing chockers to shorten the crossings and make the pedestrians more visible to motorists.
2. Cities of Vallejo, Eastvale and Compton: Reviewed off-site signing and striping plans and site plans for proposed developments, which included crosswalks both on public streets and within shopping center parking lots. In some cases, required crosswalk enhancements or relocations to improve pedestrian safety.
3. City of Santa Ana: Applied for and administered two OTS grants to improve pedestrian safety citywide. One was a citywide traffic study of uncontrolled marked crosswalks, which developed a policy regarding the installation of uncontrolled marked crosswalks and then determined if any existing ones should be removed based on the policy.
Angelina Miralaie – Angie offers over 30+ years of traffic engineering experience having served several cities in Southern California including the cities of El Monte, Anaheim, La Habra, Garden Grove, Compton, South Pasadena, Antioch and Vallejo to name a few. Her categorical experience is highlighted below:
Speed-Related Traffic Calming
1. City of La Habra: Assisted in writing the program and have run the program from infancy to currently updating the Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan (NTMP) to meet current industry standards. Communicated with residents from initial request to balloting, worked with the design consultants, performed field reviews to verify speed hump locations and inspected speed hump installations.
2. City of Anaheim: Assisted in creating the upgraded version of the NTMP and spent two years managing the program, from dealing with residents’ initial requests to balloting, running neighborhood traffic committee meetings, managing design, field review, and inspecting the installation of speed humps.
3. City of El Monte: Developed the speed hump policy and currently managing the speed hump program.

5. City of Vallejo: Created preliminary traffic calming criteria in order to consolidate a massive backlog of speed hump requests. Recommended Phase I traffic calming recommendations for neighborhoods that met minimum criteria that resulted in over 10 year of CIP improvement projects.
6. City of South Pasadena: Prepared the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program.
Midblock Xwalk-Related Traffic Calming
1. City of La Habra: Assisted with the development and installation of a raised crosswalks, installation of bulb-outs for school area crosswalks, and basic signing and striping designs that included high visibility ladder crosswalks within school zones with pedestrian-activated RRFB.
2. City of Garden Grove: Assisted with the development and installation of Botts Dots placement at various midblock crosswalk locations.
