Lydia La Point P.E.,LEEDAP
<br />the traffic analysis for the project, which included over 70 signalized intersections, and the signing and striping design plans for
<br />the preferred alternative. The plans featured buffered bike lane segments, cycle track segments with on -street parking located
<br />between the travel lanes and the bike lane, high visibility crosswalks, and colored bike lane striping at driveways, intersections and
<br />conflict zones. The plans also included cycle track segments that crossed bus platforms on curb extensions and light rail tracks.
<br />IBI worked closely with LADOT to design bike infrastructure that had not been previously implemented in the City.
<br />Metro Bus Rapid Transit Vision and Principles Study, Los Angeles, CA
<br />The Metro Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Vision and Principles Study developed design guidelines to provide clear instructions to
<br />designers and developers on operating characteristics, running ways, stations and branding. Ms. La Point developed the Running
<br />Ways chapter, which focused on designing BRT corridors with a consistent baseline quality of service. Topics included running
<br />way placement, roadway and intersection geometrics, gates, pavement sections, street signing and striping, Green Streets and
<br />landscaping, traffic operations, utility considerations and optional betterments.
<br />Fourth District Bikeways Collaborative, Orange County, CA
<br />This project identified and planned for regional bikeway priorities in the Fourth District of Orange County. The project involved
<br />working with staff and bicycle advocates from each city to identify priority routes and work towards a more cooperative planning
<br />process for regional bike routes that would cross jurisdictional boundaries. Ms. La Point was the task lead for the development of
<br />conceptual design plans prepared for two bikeway corridors.
<br />Pasadena Road Diets Study
<br />This study was prepared for the City of Pasadena to test the effectiveness of Road Diets in reducing speed and improving safety
<br />for pedestrians and bicyclists. Road Diets typically involve the removal of existing traffic lanes and allocating newly available
<br />street right-of-way to left turn lanes, bicycle lanes, and/or improved pedestrian facilities, including: sidewalks, median refuges,
<br />and landscaping. Ms. LaPoint utilized the CompleteStreets software package to analyze conditions on various corridors with and
<br />without Road Diet projects. The results of the study were used to determine the potential benefits and impacts of extending a
<br />completed Road Diet project on Cordova Street from Lake Avenue to Arroyo Parkway.
<br />Agua Caliente/Section 14 Complete Streets
<br />IBI Group developed a complete streets plan for Section 14 in the City of Palm Springs as part of an overall update to the Master
<br />Plan for a one square mile area located within the Agua Caliente Reservation. As the Tribe and City of Palm Springs plan for future
<br />growth within Section 14, there is a specific goal to improve travel for all modes, particularly pedestrians and cyclists through the
<br />adoption and implementation of complete street principals. Ms. La Point prepared the conceptual layout plans that included bulb -
<br />outs, ADA curb ramps, high visibility crosswalks, angled on -street parking, cycle tracks and landscaping.
<br />Westgate Transportation Demand Management Plan, Los Angeles, County, CA
<br />Ms. La Point served as the Project Manager for the preparation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program Plan
<br />for the Westgate Project, which is a 12-acre transit -oriented urban village located immediately east of the 710 Freeway on the
<br />northeast corner of Pasadena Avenue and Del Mar Boulevard. Recommended measures included a transportation information
<br />area, a commuter ride -matching program, resident parking space management, priority parking for low -emitting and fuel -efficient
<br />vehicles, dedicated vanpool or car -share parking spaces, covered bicycle parking for 15% of the building occupants, and active
<br />promotion and marketing of the TDM Program.
<br />ATP Cycle 3 Application for the Westpark Multi -Use Trail, Bakersfield, CA
<br />Ms. La Point managed the preparation of an ATP Cycle 3 Application for the Westpark Multi -Use Trail project in Bakersfield, CA.
<br />The team completed the required forms, summarized the project scope, provided project location and description, identified the
<br />project sub -types, measured quantites from design plans, developed cost estimates, and provided project schedule and funding
<br />information. Ms. La Point also worked with the City of Bakersfield to demonstrate fiscal need, show consistency with the regional
<br />transportation plan, identify disadvantaged communities served by the project, and describe how the project will increase walking
<br />and biking in the area while reducing the risk of injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists.
