Similarities to the City's Project: ,/ Traffic lane reconfiguration ./ Multiple bikeway facilities connection/intersection ./ Bus system coordination Bike route type selection Bike/ped conflict zones Expo Metro Line Construction Authority, Design of E Line (Expo) LRT Phase 2, Los Angeles, CA Los Angeles' 15.2-mile-long Expo Line provides light rail transit (LRT) to 19 stations that serve popular destinations from Los Angeles to Santa Monica. A portion of the light rail line operates within a dedicated rail corridor, crossing several key cross -streets at -grade, and a portion is median - running, operating in the middle of Colorado Avenue. A primary component of the project was to provide an active transportation bicycle and pedestrian facility along the entire 15.2-mile corridor. Kimley-Horn designed the segment within Santa Monica that contains a two-way median - protected cycle track, a dedicated corridor with bike path, at -grade street crossings integrated with the rail system, bike/pedestrian signalization, and segments of connecting bike lanes and sharrows. This required significant coordination with the adjacent LRT system and careful evaluation of design solutions to provide a safe and effective facility in a highly urbanized, constrained system. Kimley-Horn provided design and construction support services for Segment 3 - Santa Monica related to all roadway, traffic, station site/civil, and bikeway design. Kimley-Horn delivered this project on time and within the estimated cost of $1.5 billion using a design -build delivery method.

This federally funded, regional bicycle boulevard, spanning 2.2 miles in length, follows local streets which are ideal for a bicycle boulevard due to low vehicular volumes and speeds. The alignment links three elementary schools (El Toyon, Rancho La Nacion, and Las Palmas), connects two large community parks (El Toyon and Las Palmas), and enhances access to the future South Bay BRT station and commercial area at Plaza Boulevard. The alignment also connects to 4th Street Community Corridor where traffic calming measures and the first east -west Class 11 bicycle lanes were recently installed. Specific improvements to the corridor include sharrow markings and signage, Class I bicycle path adjacent to El Toyon Park from 4th to Beta (which provides a multimodal path for pedestrians and cyclists alike away from traffic), Class II bicycle lanes along uphill sections of the corridor, traffic calming such as curb extensions and median refuges, and high -visibility crosswalks and Pedestrian City of Santa Ana TRRD77006.2020 16 Kimley») Horn
