Box 99 Livingston, New Jersey 07039 Roseland, NJ 07068 C: (732) 236-7557 T: (973) 228-0999 F: (201) 753-3904 BrightViewEngineering.com SECTION I – SCOPE OF SERVICES Since Gregory Avenue is under Essex County jurisdiction, all reports prepared as part of this project will provide sufficient backup information for Essex County to review any recommendations made. BVE will provide all submission materials to West Orange Township with the understanding that the Township will submit information to Essex County as appropriate. TASK 1 – Crosswalk Evaluation– Gregory Avenue & Orange Heights Avenue Per MUTCD guidelines, this task will first consist of a field visit to the intersection of Gregory Avenue & Orange Heights Avenue to evaluate the intersection for the addition of a crosswalk across Gregory Avenue. This review will identify potential locations for the crosswalk, taking into account vehicular and pedestrian sight lines and existing infrastructure, such as existing curb ramps, utilities, drainage and private driveways. Based on the results of the field visit, BVE will prepare a suitably illustrated letter report detailing our findings and recommendations. This will include a concept sketch which will identify the most appropriate location for a proposed crosswalk and an order of magnitude cost estimate for construction budgeting purposes. TASK 2 – Gregory Avenue Signing and Striping Evaluation This task will include a review of the existing signing and striping along Gregory Avenue from Luddington Road to Forest Hill Road with the intent of identifying any missing or obsolete signage and identify recommendations for additional signs / striping where appropriate. This evaluation will pay special attention to the needs of the Gregory Avenue Elementary School and will consider additional supplemental signage specific to the Elementary School operations. Our results will be provided in a brief report of findings which will include a concept sketch showing recommended changes and improvements to the existing traffic control at the school and along the corridor. We shall also include recommendations for signage as a result of the evaluation and study in task 3 below.
