Todd Mobley and Jessica Hijar recently went to Kelso, WA, where we have a series of projects. One involves traffic signal design, pedestrian safety, and lighting analysis for a number of intersections. The other project focuses on pedestrian crossing pavement markings and signing in various locations, three RRFB’s, and replacing old pedestrian signals and buttons with countdown pedestrian signal heads and audible pedestrian signal pushbuttons in two intersections. The traffic signals in these projects will include upgraded pedestrian equipment and will involve multi-level City, County, and Department of Transportation review and approval.
In these pictures, you can see Todd and Jessica inspecting some of the outdated infrastructure being updated as part of Safe Routes to Schools.
“By starting with children and the trip to school, communities become safe places for everyone to walk and bike.
By creating safe places for everyone, communities take a major step towards meeting the national goal of ending traffic deaths on roads.” — Safe Routes website
