Our scope of services is based on the TAP - 2020 Application completed by the Township, input received at our meeting on March 23, 2022, and the NJDOT standard network diagram and activity descriptions for the Final Design project phase. During Preliminary Engineering (PE) it was determined that temporary sidewalk work easements will be required from twenty-one (21) adjacent property owners to allow the new pavement grades to meet the existing where the pavement joints are outside the public right-of-way. The revised proposal includes the work necessary to perform the property research, prepare the easement documents and support the Township of West Orange during easement acquisition. The Township is working to increase pedestrian safety, accessibility and walkability on Washington Street. This Washington Street Improvement Project will improve Washington Street from Main Street to High Street. The length of the project is approximately 1,050 linear feet or 0.2 miles. Washington Street is a County roadway, and as the project will make improvements to a County Road, the Township has secured the approval of the County of Essex for this project. The proposed improvements will include improved crosswalks, signage, new sidewalks with curb extensions, new curbs, ADA-compliant curb ramps, detectable warning surfaces, flashing speed limit signs, flashing pedestrian crossing signs, enhanced lighting, street trees, and trash receptacles. These improvements are being made to promote walking and better accommodate pedestrian transit as an alternate travel mode. Deficient curb ramps, concrete driveway aprons and sidewalks will be replaced to conform with ADA requirements. Proposed improvements will be consistent with previously

it as an alternate travel mode. Deficient curb ramps, concrete driveway aprons and sidewalks will be replaced to conform with ADA requirements. Proposed improvements will be consistent with previously completed streetscape projects by the Township. The project will be advanced in compliance with the Federal requirements for environmental protection by following the NEPA process, requirements for historic preservation under the Section 106 process and policies to protect publicly owned parks under Section 4(f). Federal compliance will be documented in the Categorical Exclusion Document (CED) prepared during Preliminary Engineering. Greenman-Pedersen, Inc Lebanon. t Morris Pla NJO
