<br />Los Angeles' 15.2-mile-long Expo Line provides light rail
<br />transit (LRT) to 19 stations that serve popular destinations
<br />from Los Angeles to Santa Monica. A portion of the light
<br />rail line operates within a dedicated rail corridor, crossing
<br />several key cross -streets at -grade, and a portion is median -
<br />running, operating in the middle of Colorado Avenue. A
<br />primary component of the project was to provide an active
<br />transportation bicycle and pedestrian facility along the entire
<br />15.2-mile corridor. Kimley-Horn designed the segment
<br />within Santa Monica that contains a two-way median -
<br />protected cycle track, a dedicated corridor with bike path, at -grade street crossings integrated with
<br />the rail system, bike/pedestrian signalization, and segments of connecting bike lanes and sharrows.
<br />This required significant coordination with the adjacent LRT system and careful evaluation of design
<br />solutions to provide a safe and effective facility in a highly urbanized, constrained system. Kimley-Horn
<br />provided design and construction support services for Segment 3 - Santa Monica related to all roadway,
<br />traffic, station site/civil, and bikeway design. Kimley-Horn delivered this project on time and within the
<br />estimated cost of $1.5 billion using a design -build delivery method.

<br />Kimley-Horn is assisting the City of National City with implementing one of the first low -stress bicycle
<br />boulevards in the San Diego region, and the second north -south bicycle facility east of the 1-805 in
<br />National City. This federally funded, regional bicycle boulevard, spanning 2.2 miles in length, follows
<br />local streets which are ideal for a bicycle boulevard due to low vehicular volumes and speeds. The
<br />alignment links three elementary schools (El Toyon, Rancho La Nacion, and Las Palmas), connects two
<br />large community parks (El Toyon and Las Palmas), and enhances access to the future South Bay BRT
<br />station and commercial area at Plaza Boulevard. The alignment also connects to 4th Street Community
<br />Corridor where traffic calming measures and the first east -west Class II bicycle lanes were recently
<br />installed. Specific improvements to the corridor include sharrow markings and signage, Class I bicycle
<br />path adjacent to El Toyon Park from 4th to Beta (which provides a multimodal path for pedestrians
<br />and cyclists alike away from traffic), Class II bicycle lanes along uphill sections of the corridor, traffic
