alternative mode of transportation; enhancing connectivity to Metro and Downey LINK transit
routes; helping reduce vehicle emissions; improving public health and wellness of the
community by reducing obesity and diabetes; and addressing safety improvements within
essential infrastructure for pedestrian walking/biking to nearby destinations. The Pedestrian

Re: Proposal for Consultant Services to Develop a Citywide Pedestrian Master Plan (P6475)
Dear Mi% Norr lsa
It is with tremendous pride and enthusiasm that Fehr & Peers submits this proposal to serve the City of Downey through the preparation of a
Pedestrian Master Plan. We have prepared a detailed cost estimate, a specific scope of work, a commitment to meet your schedule, and staff
who are uniquely qualified to deliver on this project for the local community.
In 2015, Fehr & Peers completed the City's Bicycle Master Plan and helped obtain a Metro Call for Projects grant to fund implementation of
over 15 miles of bike lanes, bicycle parking, and bicycle wayfinding. The plan reflected a robust outreach program that conducted caulumnity
workshops and sought community input at local events such as the Tsui- de Downey, Summer Concert Series at Furman Park, and the Downey
Farmers' Market.
Numerous local cities have completed bike plans, however, only a few have made as much progress as Downey in terms of securing funding
and implementing bicycle infrastructure, such as the bike lanes on Gardendale Street and Brookshire Avenue. Downey has also partnered with
Metro to offer open streets festivals that can be instrumental in shifting attitudes and perceptions regarding the ease and joy of walking or riding
a bike, This is a testament to the City's staff and leadership, who recognize the importance of and strive to provide functions[, sate, and attractive
streets that support a multi -modal system for people of all ages, abilities, and income levels. The City of Downey's unique geographic position
offers unparalleled regional access to freeways and major thoroughfares like Lakewood Boulevard, Firestone Boulevard, and Imperial Highway,
while also offering local gems such as Uncle Henry's Call, Tropicana Bakery & Cuban Cafe, Stay Gallery, and neighborhood schools — all locations
people mentioned during the Bike Plan process as locations they would like to be able to visit without having to get in their car. Regardless of
how people choose to travel, this plan will have safety and aesthetic benefits that will not only help pedestrians, but also contribute to economic
vitality, improved air quality, and offering more opportunities for health and physical activity.
Our proposal highlights the rationale for selecting the Fehr & Peers team:
Our Project Manager (Migue[ Ndhez) and Project Planner (Vivian Lee) are intimately familiar with Downey, having graduated from Downey
High in 2000 and Warren High in 2007, respectively, have a combined 35 years as residents of Downey, and are deeply committed to this
project
Miguel Nunez and Matt Benjamin, fluent Spanish speakers, Can translate Prolip.rt materials and conduct meetings in Spanish 11hAthout the

We bring data collected from the City's Bicycle Plan at no cost tothis project and propose to assist the City in consolidating the plans into an
Active Transportation Plan that will, help position the City for grant funding and reduce the number of plans
Our history of delivering implementainte projects and belpingthe City secure funding
Weare excited to once again be working with Here LA, who we have most recently partnered with on similar efforts including the Blue Line

creative art -based engagement activities, piacemaking, wayfinding and public space design. We will be offering their expertise in these

arenas to the City Downey as they will lead the framework and outreach engagement activities, and
pedestrian wayfinding.
We are also excited to partner with Gabriel Enamorado of Estevan Studio, who is one of the original
founders and former creative director of Stay Gallery and Studio. During his time at Stay Studio, he
helped rebrand several Downey institutions, including the city itself (Discover Downey), the Downey
Unified School District, and the Downey Patriot. As a former resident of Downey, Gabriel will create 4
brand identity forthe Plan that truly encapsulates the vision of the City.
Fehr & Peers continues to advance the state -of -the -practice in pedestrian and bicycle planning with
involvement in leading national expert groups, teaching college courses, teaching complete streets
to Cattrans engineers, and contributing to industry publications. As you will see from our quacations
and experience, we are trusted by numerous local clients to perform a variety of pedestrian planning,
safety analysis, and design, This is seen in projects such as the City of Los Angeles Vision Zero effort, our
development of the State's Pedestrian Safety Assessment, and the development of bicycle and pedestrian
plans for cities such as West Hollywood and Pasadena, Metro's Active Transportation Strategic Plan and
Blue Line First/Last Mile Plan, and Huntington Park's Complete Streets Plan. We take great honor in being
trusted by such diverse communities and agencies who select us as their partners in envisioning how cities
can be made safe for everyone, no matter how they travel.

particularly with the presence of the Green Line Station, numerous local schools, and freeway ramps.
Fehr& Peers appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal. We look forward to helping you create the
Downey Citywide Pedestrian Master Plan. If you have any questions or require any additional information
regarding our proposal, please contact Miguel or myself in the Los Angeles Fehr & Peers office at (213) 261-

We are pleased to see that Downey is pursuing a
Citywide Pedestrian Plan. Everyone is a pedestrian

needs and establish a policy framework that
wilt enhance pedestrian mobility and safety. I
Given its regional location and proximity to freeways,
the City of Downey's existing roadway network is
UtIMIM &t;UT Awi
traffic. The City is surrounded by eight cities with
diverse land uses and populations. Conse(uently,
drivers traversing 1-5, 1-605, 1-105, or 1-710 freeways
likely travel through Downey. Further, this regional
traffic, combined with local traffic, is expected to
continue increasing as the population grows and
development occurs. To address future circulation,
the City's Circulation Element (Vision 2025, If
specifically identifies active transportation as a travel
alternative and a strategy to effectively meetthe
mobility needs of residents, workers, and visitors.
The Citywide Pedestrian Plan will help to ensure that
the City of Downey offers safe-. weR-connected, and
convenient pedestrian facilities that give community
members options in how they choose to access jobs,
shopping, schools, and other day-to-day, activities.

Safety will be a key component of the Citywide
Pedestrian Plan, as Downey residents should feet
safe walking in their community, Between 2013 and
2017, the total number of pedestrian collisions in
the City of Downey has increased by approximately
1 �019
collisions involving pedestrians occurred in Downey
during the five-year period, 11 of which involved
pedestrian fatalities. In our community -d riven
approach, our team will give particular attention to
enhancing safe walking conditions near schools and
parks, and potential impacts to local traffic patterns.
We recognize that collisions involving pedestrians
are only part of a larger safety issue that concerns
every mode of transportation. Thus, the Plan wit[
recognize that these improvements will enhance
safety for all modes, including vehicles. This scope
includes a qualitative discussion of project benefits

convening ofevents such aathe Ride &Stride. These
seemingly small steps can make ahuge difference in
how residents experience walking through Downey.
Downey'sdevelopment pattern includes adiverse range
ofland uses and mobility options. Downey features a

Much of the city's pedestrian activity occurs near
schools, P -ark-, the Civic Center, Downtown Downey,
For example, the Lakewood Boulevard Green
activity from the park-and-ride lot north of the 1-105

Vehicles are regulmtyseen disregardirig Lhe "no right

vehicles from the Outside right-tUrn lane to observe
pedestrians using the crosswalk. The Plan will address
by focusing on the importance of good street design,
creating a truly welcoming and safe environment for
walking in Downey.

Schools are well integrated into residential
neighborhoods inthe City. Therefore, many students
walk and bike, inaddition tobeing driven toschool. The
City already uses adult crossing guards atintersections
'
near schools, which isone ofthe most effective safety
measures for assisting students. However, there are
many opportunities tofurther enhance the safety of
children traveling tuschools, especially inareas where
students may walk orbike toschool bynecessity, This
will beparticularly relevant with the project's focus on
south Downey and associated health and economic
characteristics that are associated with suboptimal
outcomes relating toobesity, diabetes, and levels of
physical activity. Amajor opportunity site inthe City
isthe Rancho Los Amigos campus where locals are
often found walking and biking toavoid busier stnents.
Downtown Downey and the Civic Center caters to a
variety of users based on differing retail, educational,
and civic uses and activities taking place at different
hours. A family might want to go to the library and
lunch on foot, again pointing to the need for a safe,
comfortable, and accessible walking environment.
On the other hand, recent development of bars
and late-night dining options, such as Lock & Key
Social Drinkery and Joseph's Bar and Grill, may
increase the number of Uber and Lyft trips in the
area, resulting in the need to evaluate curb space
for greater effectiveness and safety for all users.
• .. ..
Fehr& Peers has assembled a team that has
experience delivering active transportation plans in
diverse communities throughout Southern California.
In addition to completing the Bicycle Master Plan for
the City of Downey, our team consists of several former
Downey residents that grew up and attended school in
Downey. Our team is in a unique position to efficiently
and effectively develop a Citywide Pedestrian Plan
for the City of Downey, due to our technical expertise,
previous work experience with the City, and local
knowledge of Downey from our team's experts.
We also understand that the best plans are built
on a multi -faceted outreach process to engage a
diverse spectrum of residents and stakeholders,
the business community, and non -English-speaking
audiences. Fehr & Peers includes extensive outreach
processes in a variety of projects across Southern
California. Most recently, our team completed the
I-710 Livability Initiative Project for the Gateway
Cities COG, where community meetings were held
to solicit public input, educate residents, and engage
with community members. We have also recently
completed similar efforts along the Blue Line and
nearby communities such as Huntington Park.
Finally, the Plan must provide a clear path to
implementation in Downey. Our approach ensures
a realistic package of projects and phasing plan,
identifying costs and target funding sources for both
infrastructure and support programs. Fehr & Peers
has assisted the City on this front by submitting a
grant application to the Metro Call for Projects. The
City of Downey successfully obtained funding from
Metro for implementation of on -street bicycle facilities,
bicycle parking, and bicycle wayfinding. This effort
will similarly leverage community input, technical best
practices, and high-quality deliverables to help the City
communicate with stakeholders and gain support for
funding and implementation of the Citywide Pedestrian
Plan. 0ur approach to the Plan will successfully
assist the City in creating a safe and comfortable
walking environment for all of Downey's residents.
Leverage Existing Data and Analysis
Gathered from Fehr & Peers' previous work on the City
of Downey's Bicycle Master Plan, we have an extensive
inventory of counts, measurements, graphics, analysis,
and other data that we can leverage for the Citywide
Pedestrian Plan. We can update our inventory of
data to integrate new patterns, observations, and
data points that the City has obtained or, we can
enhance the existing data with an approach tailored
to pedestrians in Downey by conducting specialized
counts. Our local expertise and familiarity with the
data allows an opportunity to allocate extra resources
EENR D PEERS 1EAN1 PROPOS AC i -OR CI fY DE DOWNEY GI (YIN1DE PEDESTRIAN PI -AN 34
to tasks where it may be beneficial to expand the
scope and require more than the anticipated level of
effort. We also propose to comhine the Pedestrian
Master Plan with the Bicycle Master Plan to provide
Downey with an Active Transportation Plan.

in Southern California, we use various avenues for
obtaining public input, including traditional and
non-traditional workshops (pop -ups, walk audits),'
web -based outreach, intercept surveys of existing
pedestrians (during existing conditions/field work
process), and presentations at existing community/
business group meetings. Common outreach
methods proscribe specific time frames and locations
(physical and virtual) where input can be received.
For various reasons—work schedules, lack of web
access, competing priorities, etc.—these methods
tend to reach a typically narrow cross section of the
community. Activating our stakeholder information and
contacts from our work on the Bike Plan will provide
a comprehensive approach to engaging Downey's
communities. We will further collaborate with City
staff to leverage outreach resources utilized for
other efforts, such as the Rancho TOD Specific Plan,
to maximize the City's efforts and communication
with Downey's residents. We seek to offer options
that are convenient for residents and participants
so that we are making it easy for them to offer input
and know that their voice is heard. Fehr & Peers'
The Fehr & Peers team takes an implementation
oriented approach. Our implementation plans
notably includes strategic targeting of funding based
on project characteristics. For example, a project
design with a high collision reduction factor—for
example, a road diet—would compete well for HSIP
funding. A pedestrian improvement project serving
a public school may be targeted for Safe Routes
to School funding. Non -school -related education
and encouragement programs may target Office
of Traffic Safety grants or public health funding.
The Citywide Pedestrian Plan will be positioned to
maximize Downey's opportunities to obtain funding
with an open and comprehensive outreach process,
detailed feasibility analysis, context -appropriate
designs and concept plans, an honest assessment
of the benefits and implications of each project, and
a clear path forward via detailed implementation/
phasing plans. Thus, our implementation -oriented
approach will maximize the potential of Citywide
Pedestrian Plan to improve Downey's walkability.
work on the Downey Bicycle Plan reflects community
input that was received, such as a preference for
bicycle facilities on smaller streets that provide local
access, while preserving regional vehicular access
on major thoroughfares that connect outside the City
and provide direct access to regional freeways.

example, it rnay be advantageous to meet with school
principals and/or students (safe routes to school), the
Downey Police Department (relative to collisions and
safety), or the senior community (ADA access) to better
understand the major issues related to pedestrian
safety. Stakeholder groups could also be internal to

The Fehr & Peers Team will lead a thorough and efficient
data collection process that provides the understanding
required to achieve the goals of this project. Fehr &
Peers is in a unique position to ensure the best use of
scope and budget, since we have previously completed
the City of Downey's Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) and can
build upon the data collected, documents reviewed,
analysis performed, and graphics created for the BMP.
We have also led the Gateway Cities Council of
Governments Active Transportation Plan and
created an interactive web -based map of existing
and planned bicycle facilities. With the data that we
collected for the BMP, we can update the existing
map and share the updated version with City staff
and the public within days of starting the project.
Initially, the map would serve as a data collection
deliverable, but it could then be updated to assist
stakeholder outreach (as discussed in Task 3). A link

the Citywide Pedestrian Plan with the
Bicycle Master Plan toprovide the City
with an Active Transportation Plan.
FINAL REPORT
To build upon our previous work on the BMP, we
propose to leverage our existing counts at over 20
locations by enhancing the data. We will update counts
where new developments have been built since 2015
(such as the Downey Promenade) and collect screentine
counts at additional locations and time periods. For one
option, we can conduct a screentine count at selected
locations (such as Downey Avenue between 2nd Street
and 3rd Street on a Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
as well as 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM to assess the pedestrian
activity level during different times of day. Foranother
option, we can conduct counts at the walking traits at
Furman Park and Apollo Park to determine the need of
walking traits at other parks in the city, We also propose
to collect specialized and/or customized counts. For
example, we propose to collect data on those arriving
to a specified locations by Uber/Lyft to understand
the need for curbside management opportunities.
Our team already has 24-hour traffic volume and
speed counts at ten street segments in the City from
the BMR We propose to collect additional counts at
up to ten street segments in the City to help inform
the levels of existing activity and to inform the
feasibility of potential improvements and changes
to the existing network. Before finalizing all count
locations, we wilt receive concurrence from city staff.
Finally, Fehr & Peers proposes to conduct a review of
will review the last five years of pedestrian -involved
accidents from the City or Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System. This review will reveal the nature and
characteristics of pedestrian accidents on roadway
segments and at intersections. We will develop
collision maps to show trends and "hot spots" and
assemble lists of the top locations for collisions and

A significant portion of the Plan's effort wit occur
in Task 5 and include a combination of integrating
past work efforts and packaging a digestible,
implementable, and easily understandable plan for
the City of Downey. In Task 5, we will synthesize
input gathered from the social media account, project

Assessment Needs Survey, and discussions with
city staff to define the overarching goals and specific
supporting objectives of the Citywide Pedestrian Plan.
We will present the goals and objectives to city staff
for approval and incorporation into the City General
Plan through an amendment. We also suggest this
task as the time to meet with city staff to discuss
strategies and vehicles for education of pedestrian
and other road users in the City. The selected options
for education regarding walking will be incorporated

The ten concept plans would display project
improvements related to intersections, crossings,
public space areas, or improvements to existing
pedestrian facilities such as The San Gabriel River
path or the walking tracks at local parks. To take
advantage of opportunities for placemaking that
streets we anticipate that three of the priority project
concept designs could be focused on streetscape an
public space concepts that enhance the pedestrian
experience within the public right-of-way on a sidewa
near a commercial area, or along an existing walking
path or track that could be improved. Additionally,
we are proposing to include that three priority
concepts for intersection or crossing improvements
be prepared to a conceptual design level of 30% to
assist the City of Downey with feasibility and grant
applications of the top three priority projecM I
The preparation ot the Citywide Pedestrian Man does
not include environmental review, We anticipate an
exemption from CEQA under AB 417. The proposed
network and pho�- ionprdomosthetisdeveloped
will take into account potential impacts tothe
transportation system and existing vehicular levels
of service. Therefore, the proposed system will seek
toinclude afeasible, cunt-ef#eodxe,high-quality
network that seeks tnavoid impacts. If strategic
improvements are identified inthis process, wewit[
work with city staff tudevelop pilot programs for
those modifications that have the potential toresult
insignificant impacts tothe transportation network.
The complete Draft Citywide Pedestrian Plan will
• Pedestrian route and improvements maps as
identified through the analysis completed in Task 4
• Ptanning-tevel cost estimates of the recommended
pedestrian improvements and associated amenities
• Typical cross sections of proposed pedestrian
improvements for each street classification
Way -finding signage design and placement Protocol
Locations of seating areas and other
Establish links for new pedestrian routes with
existing and future public transportation options
within the City of Downey and region. Also,
include all potential modes of transportation
in addition to public transportation
A maintenance schedule for the future
pedestrian upgrades, amenities, and facilities
Estimated of the number of existing
pedestrians in the plan area and the estimated
increase in the number of pedestrians as
a result of the plan implementation
Descriptions of various components of the plan
