Gregory Avenue and Lowell Avenue Safe Routes to School Preliminary Engineering, Final Design, and Construction Engineering Services Page 1 Preliminary Engineering – Scope of Work I. Project Description The Township of West Orange Gregory Avenue and Lowell Avenue Safe Routes to School project is a pedestrian safety improvement project that will enhance public safety, ADA accessibility, modes of transportation, and the quality of life within the Gregory Elementary School Area of West Orange. The project is a grassroots effort developed from resident input, with strong community support. Parents emphasize the need for these improvements, as children currently face hazardous conditions when walking to and from Gregory Elementary School. The proposed improvements include installing sidewalks, replacing/reconstructing existing sidewalks in poor condition, installing ADA compliant curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces, high visibility crosswalks, pedestrian flashing beacons, and LED flashing stop signs. The proposed sidewalk will be constructed along the west side of Gregory Avenue from Lawrence Avenue to Helen Avenue and along the east side of Lowell Avenue from Lawrence Avenue to Helen Avenue. The existing sidewalk will be reconstructed along the west side of Gregory Avenue from Helen Avenue to Walker Road and along the east side of Lowell Avenue from Helen Avenue to Walker Road. Pedestrian flashing beacons and LED flashing stop signs will be installed on both roads at the Helen Avenue and Lawrence Avenue intersections. The project will establish a safer, calmer route that encourages and accommodates a greater number of students walking to and from school. Coupled with infrastructure upgrades and an education and awareness campaign, West Orange will create a safer walking environment for students while also increasing awareness among motorists. The activities/tasks described herein are to perform the Preliminary Engineering and Final Design services, and ultimately, to prepare the contract bid documents and perform construction services for the construction of the aforementioned improvements.
