DISCUSSION
Background
The City of Torrance has undertaken several efforts to improve pedestrian access in Downtown Torrance, including the Downtown Torrance Active Transportation Improvement Project (2019) and the Downtown Torrance Revitalization and Connectivity Plan (2021). In 2022, the City completed an open space corridor analysis identifying opportunities for off-street trails throughout the City. These efforts identified a gap in bicycle and pedestrian connectivity between the Regional Transit Center (RTC) and Downtown Torrance. The proposed off-street trail would help 1 City Council

close this gap by providing a safe, accessible corridor for walking, biking, and rolling, while supporting reduced vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving access to key destinations, services, and employment.

In early 2022, the City applied for a Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA, LA Metro) Measure M Multi-Year Subregional Programs (MYSP) grant with the assistance of the South Bay Cities Council Of Governments (SBCCOG). In September 2022, the LACMTA programmed $650,000 in Measure M MYSP Funds to complete the Development, Project Approval/Environmental Document (PAED), and Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for approximately 5,000 linear feet of trail within one of the identified corridors between the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center (RTC) and Downtown Torrance. On February 6, 2024, City Council accepted and appropriated the Measure M grant award funds to the Transportation Open Space Corridor Multi-Use Trails Project (I-194) and in September 2025, the Community Development Department issued a revised Request for Proposals (RFP) for consultant services to support the Preliminary Design and Environmental Analysis of the Multi- Use Active Transportation Trail Project after previously rejecting unqualified proposals. For the latest RFP, the City received proposals from five well-qualified firms: Dokken Engineering, John M. Cruikshank Consultants (JMC), Inc., PlaceWorks, RRM Design Group, and The SWA Group.

Evaluations
After evaluating the submitted proposals and conducting interviews with the highest-ranked firms, proposals were assessed based on the following criteria: (1) demonstrated understanding of the project and scope of work, including completeness and responsiveness to the RFP requirements; (2) qualifications of the proposed project team, including relevant experience, technical capabilities, and demonstrated success on similar projects; (3) proposed project schedule and the ability to complete the work within the required timeframe; and (4) quality of references, including verification of performance on recent, comparable projects.

In accordance with Federal and State Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) requirements, the selection process was based solely on qualifications and qualitative proposal materials; cost was not considered during the evaluation process.

Based on this evaluation, RRM Design Group was determined to be the most qualified firm.

RRM’s selection is further supported by its established reputation and positive working relationship with the City, as well as its extensive experience successfully delivering similar projects throughout California, including numerous grant-funded efforts. Their demonstrated expertise, familiarity with local and state requirements, and proven track record of high-quality project delivery make them well-suited to support the City on this project.

Staff has been working with the two shortlisted top-qualified firms to refine the project scope and budget following receipt of proposals that exceeded the original $650,000 grant award. Both firms submitted revised cost proposals and reduced their overall project budgets; however, the proposals remain above the available grant funding amount. In discussions with both finalists regarding total project costs, both explained that overall costs have increased from the original grant award date in 2022. To maintain the project schedule and proceed with consultant selection and design services, staff is recommending an increase to the total project budget by $50,000, from $650,000 to a new not-to-exceed total amount of $700,000.

Set aerialmapping targetsas directedby our aerialmapping subconsultant Coordinate with aerialmapping subconsultant to obtain coloraerialphotography. Topographic mapping willbe compiled at a scaleof 1-inchequals 20 feetusingstandard photogrammetric methods as an AutoCAD/Civil3Ddrawing filewith a DigitalTerrainsurface Model (DTM) Aerialmapping subconsultant willproduce an ortho-rectifiedimage using standard photogrammetric methods as a georeferenced TIP file
Right of Way Mapping
• Download latestCIS parceldata from Los Angeles County websites • Identifyfivesignificantproperty cornersalong the length of the projectthat can be used to confirm and adjustthe GIS landnet mapping
• Research record maps to selectthe fivecorners where a survey monument exists.Perform a field survey to tiethe fivemonuments intothe projectcontrolsystem Overlay GIS landnet mapping and the fivemonuments, and adjustthe GIS mapping to the project controlsystem
Prepare AutoCAD drawing with assessor parceland streetright-of-waylinework.The limitsof the landnet mapping willcorrespond with the aerialtopographic mapping Deliverables:
• Digitaltopographic map fileinAutoCAD format
• DigitalTerrainModel
• Color digitalorthophotos
Subtask A.03: Vehicle, Bike, Pedestrian Counts and Collision Data Collection RRM's trafficengineer, Fehr & Peers,willcollectvehicle,bicycle,and pedestrian counts at three locations between the RTC and Downtown Torrance to assess existingactivitylevelsand localcirculationpatterns.

The locations are:
• Dominguez Streeteast of Crenshaw Boulevard
• SartoriAvenue between ArlingtonAvenue and PortolaAvenue • SartoriAvenue between Torrance Boulevard and Engracia Avenue Vehicle volume and speed counts willbe taken as dailysegment screen linecounts for a Tuesday and a Saturday at allthree locations.Additionally,vehicleclassificationcounts willbe collectedon Dominguez Street (eastof Crenshaw Boulevard),near the RTC. These locationsaim to capture the amount of vehiculartraffictravelingalong the multi-modal activetransportationtrailalignment. Data collectionwill include volume, speed, and vehicle classificationinformation along the corridorto gain a better understanding of the type of activityoccurringwithinthe study area today and inform the facilitytype.

Bicycleand pedestrianvolume counts willoccur on a Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at allthree locations.The bicycleand pedestriancounts willbe taken as screen line counts that will allow us to III

assesshow many people walk or bikethrough thisarea and their direction of travel on a weekend at midday, which isanticipatedto be one of the peak activityperiods.

Collisiondata forthe corridorwillbe collectedcoveringthe most recent 5-year period for which complete collisiondata isavailable.The DC Berkeley SafeTREC TransportationInjuryMapping System (TIMS) or other locallypreferredgeocoded collisiondatabase will be used.

Consistentwith the goal of prioritizingCityROW and not usingthe railproperty as part of the strategy, parking data on Sartor!Avenue willbe collectedto evaluate parking supply and utilizationalong Sartori Avenue to determine how impactfulthe conversion of parking to a high-qualityactivetransportation connection along SartoriAvenue would be. Hourly parkingoccupancy sweeps willbe collectedon a weekday between 3:00PM and 8:00PM along SartoriAvenue, PortolaAvenue, ArlingtonAvenue, Cravens Avenue, and EngraciaAvenue, when most residentswould be expected to be home. This willofferinsight intothe levelof parking utilization,where a low parking utilizationwould suggest that parking could be converted, while there would stillbe parking availableon nearby cross-streets.Ifparking conversion is not an option,other alternativescan be explored.

Deliverables:
• Segment/intersectioncounts and analysis
• Collisionanalysis
• Parking supply and occupancy data
• Briefmemorandum summarizing resultswith tablesand figures Task B: PreliminaryDesign Services
Subtask B.Ol:Draft Schematic Package
The ActiveTransportationtreatments presented inthe Approach sectionof our proposal are in response to the settingof each of the fivecorridorsegments (Segments A-E) we've developed from our field investigations.The fiveSegments are furtherdescribed below, followed by the draftschematic package task contents.

Segment A: "Transit Link"
This segment followsthe east side of Crenshaw from the RTC's existingsignalizedcrosswalkdown to Dominguez and consistsof a Class Imultiuse path.This path willbe separated from Crenshaw Blvd.to avoid high speeds and volumes of vehicles.

Note: An option to add a new trafficsignaland crosswalk at Crenshaw and Dominguez to connect the trail directlyto the RTC willbe explored forthissegment.

Segment B, the "Road Diet"
This segment heads east from Crenshaw Blvd.over to about Acacia along the northern edge of Dominguez. The approach here employs a "Road Diet"strategyto reduce the roadway and convert to a ClassImultiuse path.

Page 5 of 18 ends

Segment C, "Abandoned Rail Corridor"
For thissegment, the ClassIseparated multiuse path moves intothe City-owned abandoned railcorridor parallelingDomguez and continues east and then south to Portola.

Segment D, "Complete Street"
The ClassImultiuse path transitionsto Complete Streettreatment with high-visibilitygreen ClassIIbike lanesor sharrows on Sartori'snorth/south one-way couplet. Pedestrians are directed to the sidewalks shaded with new streettreesfor an attractivewalking experience in Downtown Torrance.

Note: Longer term.Segment D could become a RailTrailprojectifthe Citypursues acquisitionof a portion of the UPRR right-of-wayto extend the ClassIpath from Portola down to Torrance Blvd.

Segment E, "Scramble Intersection"
This segment isthe transitionintoDowntown Torrance and includesa "Scramble Intersection"setup.

Flere,working with our trafficteam, the intersectionsignalphasing would be modified to shut vehicle trafficoffon allintersectionapproaches and to allow pedestrians and bikesto crossTorrance Blvd.in all directions,includingdiagonally(though not required).
in the spiritof exploration,RRM's team willdevelop a draftschematic package inthe form of a seriesof drawings illustratingthe multi-modal activetransportationtrailcorridor'sprimary and alternative alignment options,access points,and streetcrossingideas.The drawings willaddress the followingmajor components:
• ClassITrailAlignment
The trail'sfullsectionand alignment forSegments A, B,and C willbe developed to locateItwithinCity property and separated from vehiculartraffic.The drawings willshow Right-of-Way (ROW), amenities such as seatingareas,shade structures,and wayfindingsignage.Conceptual levelgradingwillbe shown to demonstrate how the trailwill work within the available space, how itwillconnect to streetgrades, and where potentialretainingwallswillbe located.
• Neighborhood StreetCrossings
Along Segment C at Acacia,Madrid, Amapola, and Cota,conceptual-levelplans willbe developed to show new crossingdesignsto linkthe adjacent neighborhood to the ClassItrailalong Dominguez. This scope assumes the Citywillprovide recent trafficcount data for Dominguez and the intersectingstreets.

Along Segment D at Portola,Arlington,Cravens, and EngraciaAvenues, conceptual-levelplans willbe developed to show the new bike lane alignment, new crosswalk striping,and trafficcontroldevices specificto each crossinglocation.This scope assumes the Citywillprovide recent trafficcount data for Sartoriand the intersectingstreets.
• SartoriComplete Street Alignment
Complete StreetstrategiesforSegment D willbe developed to locate improvements within the City's38 foot ROW to linkpedestriansand cycliststo the ClassImultiuse trailterminus inSegment C and lil

Downtown Torrance.The drawings willincluderoadway restripingto add high-visibilitygreen ClassIIbike lanes and/or Sharrows ineach directionfor cyclists,and improving the sidewalksalong Sartorito attract pedestrianswith a shaded, cool path of travelaway from vehicles.An option on the northeast side of Sartorito move the curb,gutter,parkway, and sidewalkback a few feet to accommodate a full-width Class IIbike path willalso be explored.
• Track Crossings
At Portola,Arlington,Cravens, and EngraciaAvenues inSegment D, east/west pedestrianfacilitieswillbe developed to complete each intersectionto provide a clearpath of travelto crossSartori.This includes crossingthe UPRR trackswithin the City'sROW. RRM's team willprepare conceptual levelcrossing drawings to illustratethe crossingconfiguration,trackpanel placement, striping,and signage improvements.
• Torrance Boulevard Crossing
At Torrance Boulevard inSegment E,RRM's team willexplore intersectiondesign,signalphasing, includinga scramble phase, and lane configurationoptions to connect the Sartorialignment with Downtown Torrance. RRM's team will obtain new traffic counts for alllegsof the Torrance and Sartori intersection.
• Lighting
An overhead traillightingsystem between the Crenshaw and PortolawithinSegments B and C willbe explored and developed. The drawings willshow lightpost locations,pointsof connections,and mounting heights.

Deliverables:
• Prepare forand presentthe projectat up to three (3)additionalpublicmeetings • Support media/graphics
Task C: CEQA Compliance Services
Subtask C.Ol: Notice of Exemption
The improvements proposed forthe planned multi-modal active transportation trail\A/ouldbe considered a projectunder the CaliforniaEnvironmental QualityAct (CEQA) and would requireappropriate environmental compliance documentation. Article19 of the CEQA Guidelinesprovidesa listof classesof projectsthat have been determined not to have a significanteffect on the environment and therefore can be exempt from the provisionsof CEQA. The projectscope of work includesimprovements inthe publicright-of-waythat provide fora continuous multi-usepath,but utilizesdifferenttypes of opportunitiesto upgrade existingfacilitiesalong the route to accommodate pedestriansand cyclists.

Based on these assumptions, the design which optimizes the existingright-of-wayand providesthe community benefitof a continuous multiuse path from the RegionalTransitCenter to the core of downtown Torrance, preliminarilyappears to qualifythe projectfora CategoricalExemption through two categories-Class1 (ExistingFacilities)and Class4 (Minor Alterationsto Land).

RRM proposes to analyze the projectfor CEQA compliance and anticipatespreparationof a Notice of Exemption (NOE) usingthe standard Notice of Exemption form contained inAppendix E of the CEQA Guidelineswith a briefsupporting analysisrelyingon existingavailableinformation.No new technical analysisisproposed. Within fivedays followingthe approval of multi-modai activetransportationtrail improvements by the CityCouncil,RRM willpost the NOE with the County of Los Angeles County Clerk, and Citystaffwillbe responsiblefor posting the NOE at Cityfacilities.Inthe event that proposed improvements are more substantialand determined to potentiallyhave a significanteffecton the environment, RRM would outlineneeded strategies,and thistask and budget would be reviewed and rescoped as needed.

At the 65%, 90%, and 100% construction document milestones, RRM willconduct an internalQA/QC review. RRM assignsan in-house QA/QC manager who isnot a part of the design team. Using RRM's QA/QC checklist,a QA/QC team that isnot part of the design team willreview the projectto ensure disciplinesare fullycoordinated, key information isincluded,references pointto the correctlocation,and specificationsare tiedto the drawings.This review and correctivemeasures willoccur priorto each package (65%, 90% & 100%) being submitted to the City.

Deliverables:
• QA/QC comments incorporatedintothe 65% DraftConstructionDocument package • QA/QC comments incorporated intothe 90% DraftConstruction Document package • QA/QC comments incorporatedintothe 100% DraftConstructionDocument package III.Client Responsibilitiesand Assumptions
• Meeting locationand facilities
• Publicmeeting noticing
• Qne contact person who willserve as the City'srepresentativeand willconsolidateallAgency review comments into one listof official comments to which RRM can respond • Prepare bid and contract"boilerplate"documents, such as bidform, invitation,instructions,generaland specialconditions,contractforms, insurance forms, etc.
• Document distributionfordesign reviews,bidding,and construction • Bidding and constructionmanagement, inspection,and testing • Projectspecificationswillbe prepared inGreenbook format • The projectwillqualifyfor a CategoricalExemption through two categories- Class1 (ExistingFacilities) and Class 4 (Minor Alterationsto Land)
• The projectwillbe located completely on City property,and no property acquisitionsor easements are required
• Additional intersectioncounts and levelof service (LOS) analysisare not proposed because itisnot anticipatedthat the project would resultin the reduction of a travellane,therefore segment and intersectioncapacitywould remain the same
• Potable water servicefor irrigationsystems willbe utilized lil

Our Approach
RRM Design Group has been closelyengaged with thiscorridorfrom the City's earliesteffortsto explore itspotential.We have already completed several sitevisitsand a preliminaryfieldassessment to understand the corridor's unique physicalconditionsand operationalconstraints.These efforts included measuring right-of-waywidths,reviewingsidewalksand parkways, analyzingstreet intersections,documenting the railalignment,and evaluatingthe surrounding one way streetsystem—providing a strong foundation foran efficient and informed project start.

Buildingon thisgroundwork, our team has developed a conceptual corridor overview (check out Section 2)that reflectsmonths of iterativeplanning, collaborativesessions,and on-the-ground evaluations.We have broken the alignment intologicalsegments, explored strategiesfor connecting Downtown Torrance and the TransitCenter, and refined ideas through fieldchecks to ensure feasibilityand community benefit.Our approach prioritizessafety,intuitive design,and environmental clearance considerationswhile creatinga corridor that seamlessly linksadjacent neighborhoods and enhances the City'sactive transportation network.

Our Team
As the Prime Consultant,RRM DesignGroup brings50 years of Active Transportation,planning,design,and engineering experience to lead thisproject (check out Section 3).Our multidisciplineteam isin-house and isled by Mike Sherrod,MobilityGroup Leader who willserveas a principalin charge.

Project Approach
Corridor Overview
The followingsegment breakdown of the multi-modal
activetransportationtrailwas derived from our
team's evaluationof the projectarea over the past
years.

P- TORRANCE MULTIUSE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION TRAIL CORRIDOR SEGMENT ANALYSIS rrm
Itstarted with RRM's planning team studying
development scenarios,mobilitygaps,and
infrastructureneeds—creating space to explore
strategiesforconnecting Downtown Torrance and
the Torrance Transit Center. Over the months since
the initialRFP release in October 2024, thiswork
intensified.Earlysitereviews with key team members
laidthe groundwork, and severalwalks between
the TransitCenter and Downtown helped evaluate
alignment options and implementation strategies.

In the lead-up to thiscurrent RFP,collaborative
sessionsaround the tablefocused on solvingproject
challenges,sketchingconcepts,and breakingthe
corridorintologicalsegments. Soon, the firstgraphic
conceptualizationof the trailalignment and itskey
featuresbegan to take shape. Ideaswere layeredand
refinedthrough iterativefieldchecks, leadingto a
sophisticatedunderstanding of significantelements,
environmental clearance considerations,and an
implementation approach.

These visitsprovided firsthandinsightintohow the
corridorfunctionswithinthe Cityright-of-wayand
informed strategiesforseamlesslylinkingadjacent
neighborhoods along the one-mile stretch—from the
Torrance Transit Center to the south-side intersection
of Sartori Avenue and Torrance Boulevard. The
conceptual corridoroverview offersa glimpse into
thishigher-levelthinking,and ifyou flipthe page,
you'llsee how on-the-ground thinkingisshaping up
foreach corridorsegment and how the community
connection comes to life.

TransitCenter to Dominguez Street
ExistingCrenshaw Blvd. looking towards Dominguez St. Proposed The Crenshaw Boulevard connection to the Torrance
TransitCenter presents a strong opportunity fora
clearClassImultiusecorridoralong the east sideof
Crenshaw, requiringonly minor modificationsto the
existing10-foot-widesidewalk.By reconfiguringthis
portion of the right-of-wayintoa Class Imultiuse,
a seamless connection can be established from the
existingpedestrian crosswalk at the TransitCenter
entrance south to the Dominguez Streetintersection—
an alignment of approximately450 linearfeet.

Thissegment offersthe potentialto preserve the
existingparkway treeson Crenshaw while incorporating
additionaltrees,pedestrian-scalelighting,and enhanced
understory plantingwithinthe right-of-wayto createa
safer,more comfortable,and attractiveuserexperience.

Segment B - Road Diet |
Dominguez Street
Th extensionof the proposed ClassImultiuse alongthe
north sideof Dominguez Street,beginningat the Crenshaw
intersection,could be achieved through a road diet
approach for the first370 linearfeet from the Crenshaw
and Dominguez intersection.Dominguez Streetis40
feet wide from curb to curb, carrieslow trafficvolumes, and rarelyhas vehiclesparked along the existingcurb.

This providesan opportunity to shiftthe north curb line outward by approximately 8 to 10 feet to accommodate
a ClassIfacilityand maintain two IT wide travellanes.

This adjustment would allow the multiuse trailand a
continuous row of parkway treesto extend along the
streetedge forthe full350 feet,leadingseamlesslyinto
the wider abandoned railcorridorsegment beyond.

Ill Section2 |PfoiectUnderstanding& WorkPlan1 Proposal For Multiuse Active Transportation TrailProject 83 Segment E - Scramble Intersection|SartoriAvenue and Torrance Boulevard
Torrance Boulevard and the Sartori Street intersection are key locationsto begin to calm traffic and designatethisarea of town as a gateway to the City.The largeintersectionat SartoriAvenue and Torrance Boulevard presentsa challenge
for maintainingcontinuityof the sidewalk,
bikefacilityimprovements and a possible
ClassImultiusetrailalong Sartori.Currently,
the intersectionoperates with a single
sided pedestrian crossing,and the railtracks
curve eastward through the intersection
along the south sideof Torrance Boulevard.

There may be an opportunity to explore a
scramble intersection,which could provide
saferand more efficientcrossingsfor both
pedestriansand bicyclists,improving access
to the new trailand enhancing the connection
to downtown gateway. These gateway
improvements help to calm traffic,designate
key entry points inthe city,and provide a
purposefullydesigned sense of place forthe
community.

Work Plan for Success
With 5 Decades of Active Transportation experience and 12 months of thought and fieldwork on thiscorridor...RRM has an action plan for Torrance...

The legwork paid off!As you can tellfrom the projectmap breaking down the corridorintologicalsegments, and clear-eyedassessment of the challengesand potentialsolutionsforeach segment, we have a deep understanding of the assignment infrontof our team. Our understanding of thistrailcorridor,coupled with our extensive experience designing Active Transportation projectsalong active raillines,abandoned rail corridors,busy streets,and through quiet neighborhoods, has framed out thinkingof how to best serve the Cityand community to connect Downtown Torrance and the RTC.

Specifically,we are proposing a work plan and scope of servicesthatwillmove your projectsmoothly along from preliminarydesign through environmental clearance and intofinaldesignsettingthe projectup for construction.The scope of work presented inthe RFP was inspiringand laidout the generaloutlineof what the Cityislookingfor.Using the RPF'sscope as the startingpoint,we tapped intoour experience of successfullydeliveringthistype of projectto the communities we serve and evolved itinto a detailed scope of servicesto move the projectalong inan efficientmanner.

Please take some time to read through the proposed scope of servicespresented on the followingpages.We hope thispiques your interestto dig in deeper and discuss this further with our team. ill Section2 ProjectUnderstanding& Work Plan \ ProposalForMultiuseActive Transportation TrailProject 15 84 I.Scope of Services Task Outline

Task A: Pre-Design Services (PAED)
Subtask A.01: Kickoff Meeting and Field Walk
To initiatethe design process and get the projectrolling,RRM's team willconduct a kick-offmeeting with the projectteam. Principally,thismeeting willprovide an opportunityto confirm the schedules'key milestones.

This meeting willalso provide a forum to discussthe datawe've collectedthusfar,identifyany outstanding data needs,and setdatesforupcoming meetings and open house.

Followingthe kick-offmeeting, RRM and the projectteam willwalk the alignment to confirm the multi-modal activetransportationtrailalignment ingeneral and explore the sectionbetween Downtown Torrance and the RTC ingreaterdetail.The objectiveof thisfieldwalk isto evaluatesiteconstraints,discusspros and cons for potentialalternativealignment options,and look forthe most feasiblesolutionsto implement Complete Street and multiuse trailstrategies.

Deliverables:
• Prepare forand conduct one (1)kickoffmeeting.
• Prepare forand conduct one (1)fieldwalk.
• Meeting and fieldwalk notes.

Subtask A.02: Aerial Survey and Base Mapping
RRM's surveyor,Guida GeospatialSolutions(Guida),willconduct survey work withinthe projectarea to create a base map filesuitablefordesign work. The survey scope willincludethe followingcomponents:

AerialTopographic Mapping
• Establishsurvey control referenced to the NAD83 CaliforniaCoordinate System, Zone 5 horizontaldatum by tiesto CSRC Continuous GPS stationsand to the NAVD88 datum by tiesto availableCityof Torrance benchmarks.
• Prepare ProjectControl Map with detaileddatum notes,coordinate listing,and an accuracy statement. • Set aerialmapping targetsas directed by our aerialmapping subconsultant. • Coordinate with aerialmapping subconsuitantto obtain coloraerialphotography.Topographic mapping willbe compiled at a scaleof 1-inchequals 20 feet using standard photogrammetric methods as an AutoCAD/CiviBD drawing filewith DigitalTerrainsurfaceModel (DTM). • Aerialmapping subconsultant willproduce an ortho-rectifiedimage usingstandard photogrammetric methods as a georeferenced TIF file.

Right of Way Mapping
• Download latestGIS parceldata from Los Angeles County websites. • identifyfivesignificantproperty corners along the length of the projectthat can be used to confirm and adjust the GIS landnet mapping.
• Research record maps to selectthe fivecorners where a survey monument exists.Perform fieldsurvey to tiethe fivemonuments intothe projectcontrolsystem.
• Overlay GIS landnet mapping and the fivemonuments and adjustthe GIS mapping to the projectcontrol system.
• Prepare AutoCAD drawing with assessor parceland streetright-of-waylinework.The limitsof the landnet mapping willcorrespond with the aerialtopographic mapping. iil Section2 |ProjectUnderstanding& WorkPlan\ Proposal For MultiuseActive TransportationTrailProject 17 86 Deliverables:
• Digitaltopographic map fileinAutoCAD format.
• DigitalTerrainModel.
• Color digitalorthophotos.

Subtask A.03: Vehicle, Bike, Pedestrian Counts and Collision Data Collection RRM's trafficengineer,Fehr & Peers,willcollectvehicle,bicycle,and pedestriancounts at three locations between the RTC and Downtown Torranceto assessexistingactivitylevelsand localcirculationpatterns.The locations are:
• Dominguez Streeteast of Crenshaw Boulevard
• SartoriAvenue between ArlingtonAvenue and PortolaAvenue • SartoriAvenue between Torrance Boulevard and EngraciaAvenue Vehiclevolume and speed counts willbe taken as dailysegment screen linecounts fora Tuesday and a Saturday at allthree locations.Additionally,vehicleclassificationcounts willbe collectedon Dominguez Street (eastof Crenshaw Boulevard),near the RTC. These locationsaim to capture the amount of vehiculartraffic travelingalong the multi-modal activetransportationtrailalignment. Data collectionwillincludevolume, speed, and vehicleclassificationinformationalong the corridorto gain a betterunderstanding about the type of activityoccurringwithinthe study area today and inform the facilitytype.

Bicycleand pedestrianvolume counts willoccur on a Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at allthree locations.The bicycleand pedestrian counts willbe taken as screen line counts that willallow us to assess how many people walk or bike through thisarea and theirdirectionof travelon a weekend at midday, which is anticipatedto be one of the peak activityperiods.

Collisiondata forthe corridorwillbe collectedcoveringthe most recent 5-year period forwhich complete collisiondata isavailable.The UC BerkeleySafeTREC Transportation InjuryMapping System (TIMS) or other locallypreferredgeocoded collisiondatabase willbe used.

Consistent with the goal of prioritizingCity ROW and not usingthe railproperty as part of the strategy,parking data on SartoriAvenue willbe collectedto evaluate parking supply and utilizationalong SartoriAvenue to determine how impactfulthe conversion of parkingto a high-qualityactivetransportationconnection along SartoriAvenue would be. Hourly parkingoccupancy sweeps willbe collectedon a weekday between 3:00PM and 8:00PM along SartoriAvenue, PortolaAvenue, ArlingtonAvenue, Cravens Avenue, and Engracia Avenue, when most residentswould be expected to be home. This willofferinsightintothe levelof parkingutilization, where a low parking utilizationwould suggest that parking could be converted while there would stillbe parking availableon nearby cross-streets.Ifparkingconversion isnot an option,other alternativescan be explored.

Deliverables:
• Segment/intersectioncounts & analysis.
• Collisionanalysis.
• Parking supply and occupancy data.
• Briefmemorandum summarizing resultswith tablesand figures.

Ill ProjectUnderstanding& Work Plan | ProposalForMultiuseActive Transportation TrailProject 18Section 2 87 Task B: PreliminaryDesign Services (PAED)
Subtask B.Ol: Draft Schematic Package
The ActiveTransportationtreatments presented inthe Approach sectionof our proposalare inresponse to the settingof each of the fivecorridorsegments (Segments A-E)we've developed from our field investigations.The fiveSegments are furtherdescribed below followedby the draftschematicpackage task contents.

Segment A, “Transit Link”
This segment followsthe east sideof Crenshaw from the RTC'sexistingsignalizedcrosswalkdown to Dominguez and consistsof a ClassImultiuse trail.Thistrailwillbe separated from Crenshaw Blvd.to avoid high speed and volumes on vehicles.

Note: An option to add a new trafficsignaland crosswalk at Crenshaw and Dominguez to connect the trail directlyto the RTC willbe explored forthissegment.

Segment B, the “Road Diet”
This segment heads east from Crenshaw Blvd.over to about Acaciaalongthe northern edge of Dominguez.

The approach here employs a "Road Diet"strategyto reduce the roadway and convert to ClassImultiusetrail.

Segment C, “Abandoned Rail Corridor”
For thissegment, the Class Iseparated multiuse trailmoves intothe Cityowned abandoned railcorridor parallelingDomguez and continues east and then south to Portola.

Segment D, “Complete Street”
The Class Imultiuse trailtransitionsto Complete Streettreatment with high visibilitygreen ClassIIbike lanes or sharrows on Sartori'snorth/southone way couplet.Pedestrians are directed to the sidewalks shaded with new streettreesforan attractivewalking experience to Downtown Torrance.

Note: Longer term, Segment D could become a RailTrailprojectifthe Citypursues acguisitionof a portion of the UPRR right-of-wayto extend the ClassImultiuse trailfrom Portola down to Torrance Blvd.

Segment E, “Scramble Intersection”
This segment isthe transitioninto Downtown Torrance and includesa "Scramble Intersection"set up. Here, working with our trafficteam, the intersectionsignalphasing would be modified to shut vehicletrafficoff on allintersectionapproaches and to allow pedestrians and bikesto crossTorrance Blvd.inalldirections, includingdiagonally(though not required).

Inthe spiritof exploration,RRM's team willdevelop a draftschematic package inthe form of a seriesof drawings illustratingthe multi-modal activetransportationtrailcorridor'sprimary and alternativealignment options,access points,and streetcrossingideas.The drawings willaddressthe followingmajor components:
• Class I Multiuse TrailAlignment
The trail'sfullsectionand alignment forSegments A, B,and C willbe developed to locateitwithinCity property and separated from vehiculartraffic.The drawings willshow Right-of-Way (ROW), amenities such as seatingarea,shade structures,and wayfinding signage.Conceptual levelgrading willbe shown to demonstrate how the trailwill work within the available space,how itwillconnect to streetgrades,and where potentialretainingwallswillbe located.
