Neglected for many years, the corridor needed a re-design for aesthetic, safety and operational purposes. The study involved traffic, transportation, streetscape design, urban design, infill development recommendations and economic revitalization study. St Paul Square Corridor and Revitalization Study – San Antonio, Texas A near-in historic downtown neighborhood straddling E. Commerce Street, the neighborhood needed revitalization. Next to the Alamo Dome, a major entertainment venue, St Paul Square is a mix of office, retail, entertainment and professional services. Traffic was negatively impacting the district and the study was done to re-design the corridor and make recommendations for revitalization.

Flores San Antonio, TX 78204 Phone (210) 207 - 6459 City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 9 San Andreas SR 49 Southern Gateway Commercial Corridor Study - Calaveras County, California GHD prepared a “Complete Streets” plan with conceptual designs for a new southern gateway to San Andreas on State Route (SR) 49 for the Calaveras Council of Governments (CCOG). With over 240 underutilized or vacant acres surrounding an abandoned airport site, we identified infrastructure improvements to support redevelopment opportunities and a new southern gateway that could provide the “sense of arrival” into San Andreas. The community was engaged to dialogue on the development potential of the south area and design of the corridor. Through those conversations, community concerns led to the expansion of the study area to encompass the entire SR 49 corridor, known locally as Saint Charles Street. GHD evaluated the full corridor, looking at “Complete Streets” improvement opportunities that would link focus nodes and planned growth areas to the existing community along the corridor. Recommended improvements were prioritized and phased based on community input, grant eligibility, safety, capacity, and operational performance metrics, cost, and constructability. The plan was adopted by the CCOG Board, and the CCOG is currently exporting programming and funding opportunities through upcoming grant programs.

Saint Charles Street, Suite A San Andreas, CA 95249 (209)754 - 2094 Midtown Corridor Development Strategy – Bozeman, Montana LCG led a team of engineers, planners, architects and parking consultants to determine how the City can best invest TIF funds in a manner that provides private developers with financial incentives that enhance the economic feasibility of higher-density, mixed-use projects served by active transportation. At the same time, the consultant team supported staff to work with local property owners and proactively partner on public-private projects aligned with the Midtown Corridor vision. Client reference: David Fine / Economic Development Specialist City of Bozeman 121 N Rouse Avenue Bozeman, MT 59715 (406)582 - 2973 Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan – Renton, Washington Prepared a market analysis to evaluate residential, retail, and mixed-use development opportunities. The market strategy was combined with an assessment of City-owned facilities including a parking structure, an events center, a plaza, and a vacant lot to identify strategies and actions that would ensure that these assets serve as catalysts for private investment in the future. The plan's early implementation items include a signage and wayfinding plan which will be carried out in the next year in order to support the planned conversion of several one-way streets back to two-way traffic. The plan received a 2018 joint planning award from the Planning Association of Washington and Washington chapter of the American Planning Association. City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 10 Downtown Retail Feasibility and Implementation Strategy – Santa Clara, California Created a retail strategy for the City of Santa Clara, with unique focus on the following primary areas: defining the retail potential and market positioning for a recreated Downtown District, Identifying a long-term retail strategy for El Camino Real focusing on capitalizing on the best existing retail nodes and then infilling from those nodes, and Addressing other areas such City-owned land earmarked for redevelopment, the area around the new San Francisco 49ers Stadium, and the North Bayshore. Established the Downtown and El Camino Real trade area boundaries, when Commodity as opposed Specialty uses should be a focus, and evaluate the potential to increase demand Downtown and along El Camino Real. Addressed both real estate (location) and facility (site attribute) for the focus areas including site attributes such as convenience of access, the array of existing retail locations serving the trade areas, and market barriers. In addition to resident and daytime population, evaluated market opportunity represented by other large-scale non-resident populations in close proximity to Santa Clara such as Santa Clara University and San Jose State University, convention and visitor impacts, and vehicular and transit traffic patterns.

The Highway 111 corridor also serves as the armature for a vast amount of retail, resort, entertainment and services patronized by valley residents and visitors. Owing to the rectilinear grid pattern of surfaces streets in the valley, intersections with Highway 111 are frequent and, more often than not, create the main nodes of activity in the corridor and for each city. This 2-mile portion of Highway 111 in La Quinta, between Washington Street and Jefferson Street represents the largest concentration of retail, service and entertainment outlets in the City. Indeed, it is a critical revenue generator for the city, representing the vast majority of sales tax collections. The corridor is also in close proximity to major sports recreation and vacation venues in the Coachella Valley. Indian Wells Tennis Gardens, PGA West, Empire Polo Club and the site of Coachella Music festival are all within easy reach of this corridor of La Quinta. The View from the Road Highway 111, first proposed in the early 1930’s was originally designed, owned and operated by Caltrans, whose primary mission was to move vehicles through the Coachella Valley. This car centric approach to roadway systems has served its purposed and helped the Valley and La Quinta grow into the City it is today. However, times are changing as is the demand for multimodal and innovative transportation solutions, building and land use. The Highway 111 corridor has so much untapped potential. In response, we have created the team the City needs to turn that potential into an actionable plan that will spur economic development and growth for the City. The multidisciplinary Project Team we have assembled is qualified and eager to meet the challenges of this plan. We understand what is ultimately needed from this project – community-based implementable projects and programs that support local, regional, and state performance metrics for sustainable transportation and a renewed direction for creating vibrant, attractive places in the corridor. There are significant views of the surrounding mountains from the highway and this dramatic backdrop is easily ignored as one navigates the large amount of traffic jockeying for turning lanes to enter centers or intersections. This corridor serves diverse roles in a diverse community yet, is currently designed to primarily serve a single mode of travel - the automobile. In essence, the view from this vehicle-centric highway is ‘to use it to get from A to B’. However, this Highway 111 Corridor Improvement Plan presents the greater La Quinta community with an opportunity to: • Enhance mobility choices to the community • Expand safe access to existing multimodal opportunities, and • Strengthen connectivity across a critical transportation corridor Our team’s plan will tackle these challenges and provide a realistic approach that transforms Highway 111 into a context-appropriate complete street that meets the diverse mobility needs of the people it serves. This plan will produce a roadmap to implement improvements that safely move the community on foot, by transit, on bike, and by car. City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 12 The plan will lay the foundation for a conversion of the corridor into a destination where people go for arts and entertainment, retail and recreation, hospitality and work. A destination that in which people are comfortable walking and biking to and through. A destination that attracts residents and visitors from near and far, the “talk of the town”, if you will. This portion of the Highway 111 corridor has been experiencing a high incident of traffic collisions, based on current available UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) data. From January 2015 to December 2017 the corridor has recorded a total of 77 injury collisions. Some of those were serious injury collisions as well a one (1) fatal accident, which accounted for 25% of all injury accidents within the city for this three (3) year period. A review of location data suggest that the majority of accidents occurred at or near major intersections. As a result, safety will be paramount in this project and corridor safety improvements will be put at the forefront. This team will provide custom solutions that meet specific project needs while improving safety and reducing overall collisions. Our team will look in depth at collision types, identified collision causes, and provide suggestions on various safety improvements that can be incorporated along the corridor that meet the Highway 111 Corridor Vision. “Meet me at” … Sustainable “Place Making” In terms of urban form, the corridor isn’t dissimilar to most of Highway 111 through the valley. Retail and service establishments flank large parking fields with smaller pads next to landscaped parkways, with desert plantings and discontinuous meandering sidewalks. While somewhat chaotic, City ordinances and guidelines have managed to keep visual clutter to a minimum. Along with buildings fronting Highway 111, in the space created between the buildings and the street, there is a lack of pedestrian amenities. Lighting is limited to intersections and then with only highway scaled goose-neck lights. The 2018 Urban Land Institute study indicated a need to create a new “place” or “places” in the corridor that will attract and entertain consumers and patrons in well designed, cohesive, pedestrian oriented enclaves in the corridor. Recognizing these challenges in the corridor, the City of La Quinta is endeavoring to make this portion of Highway 111 a more accommodating network of places and events. The large parking fields need to be re-purposed with the inclusion of in-fill development creating destination places with character and charm. These “nodes” of activity will be linked with all modes of transportation and offer pleasant, shaded environments that can be used year-round. Building on the existing network of streets, access roads and the eventual development of the CV Link, the intention is to build a usable multi-modal network. City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 13 This network will be enhanced with an updated landscape and way-finding scheme throughout the corridor with a ‘Complete Street’ approach to the intricate street network existing in this district. While not eliminating the auto and recognizing the emerging sharing economy, the intent will be to create places where private auto use is not the only option for circulation in the corridor. We will look for other out of the box opportunities to create a sense of place throughout the corridor as well. One example of that would be to create a space to honor the fact that in 2005 this stretch of Highway 111 was named “Deputy Bruce Lee Memorial Highway” to honor the Riverside County deputy sheriff who lost his life in the line of duty responding to a call in the City. “It’s the Economy…” Beyond the physical design and operation of the corridor, it is incumbent on this project to evaluate the sustainability of the commercial retail profile of the district and ascertain a direction that will best meet the demands of a changing commercial landscape. Recognizing emerging trends in on-line purchases and the continued retrenchment of brick and mortar retail, our team’s retail experts will examine the critical real estate economic trends that will affect the City’s revenue streams. Our team will present practical and pragmatic strategies for the City and property owners to consider as this transition in the commercial retail environment continues to emerge. The solution must be one where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the case must be made that mixed-use development provides a sustainable fiscal foundation for the city. Despite claims to the contrary, retail is not dead – but it is going through fundamental changes that will reshape how people shop and utilize commercial real estate. “Make no Small Plans…” Transitional urban places will evolve, expand, contract, prosper or fail with or without a plan – it is the nature of dynamic cities in our culture. In order to direct growth and development in a positive direction, it is necessary to first have a vision of what a place should become, and then use or develop the strategies and tools to make that vision a reality. Our intention is to help forge a vision for this dynamic, critical La Quinta corridor. The Framework Plan we anticipate will help establish the template for a new, emerging, sustainable place – a grouping of environments when taken as a whole will present renewed focal points of interest and activity. Reviewing, revising or creating new regulatory instruments will be key to this effort. Addressing the regulations will assure that the vision can be created without being hindered by codes and ordinances that might not be appropriate or would be working at cross- purposes. We will also try to eliminate duplication of efforts in the various Specific Plans that exist in the corridor. Providing images, illustrations, simulations and community events, we will hope to distill the wishes and hopes of residents, property owners and business owners in a vision plan that will guide the future of this corridor. To accomplish this, an outline of approach to the project is provided below. City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 14 Section D: Scope of Work Work Objectives Task 1: Stakeholder Engagement This task is done to establish and engage a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) comprised of a variety of interested parties from small business owners to big box retail representatives, public agencies and surrounding residents. Meetings and interviews will be held to ascertain views, concerns and direction from those most involved and affected by any plan for this district. (Task Fee: $25,950) 1.1 Stakeholder ID/Interviews a) With assistance from the City of La Quinta, establish Highway 111 Corridor Analysis and Vision Plan Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) and establish meeting schedule. b) Organize and implement SWG outreach meetings. This will include presentations and meetings with City public works and planning departments, retail and service business owners/operators, property owners, neighborhood and community groups. One meeting will be held with each SWG. This will serve as an introduction and presentation of the project and solicit feedback, ideas, concerns and potential opportunities from the groups and will be held early on in the project processes. A SWG workshop will be scheduled for Task 2 and will focus more on a presentation of the findings from the Corridor Audit, and answer questions and address any concerns. It is assumed there will be at least 5 SWGs totaling 10 meetings. For budget purposes it is assumed various meetings will be conducted in one day to reduce travel costs. 1.2 Establish Outreach Program Conduct 2 SWG meetings and 1 open public presentation. The initial SWG meeting will be a workshop utilizing all the tools to solicit ideas, in-put and comments from the SWG geared towards gathering critical information to move the project forward. The second SWG meeting will present draft Complete Streets plan improvements affording a chance for a public critique of the plan with comments and direction. The final meeting will be an open public presentation to present the final Complete Streets Plan and the Corridor Vision Plan with graphics and illustrations and to gather any final input for plan adoption. With assistance from the City each meeting will be advertised using a multimedia campaign (including newspaper, radio, social media and website). 1.3 Develop On-line Outreach Develop online tools and social media sites. To maximize public participation and feed-back, educational materials will be prepared and distributed that outline the scope of the project and the planning process, the issues involved and the choices being considered by the project. (Due to budgetary constraints, our team will request that the City engage in a local media and social media campaign to raise local awareness along with a project website with online tools for soliciting project input with links distributed throughout the community). Deliverables: - Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) - Series of meetings and a workshop with each SWG - On-line outreach tools Task 2: Corridor Audit Task 2 takes in-depth review of existing plans, programs, policies and regulations as well as on-site investigation of the existing condition. Our first team “event” will be an on-site meeting with staff and interested members of the SWG to explore the critical issues facing the corridor. Our first public meeting will be at the culmination of efforts in this task. (Task Fee: $69,250) City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 15 2.1 Corridor Triage Review of All Programs, Projects Plans and Policies Applicable to the Study Area a) On site meeting and investigation – meeting with City staff to investigate the issues on the site. Identify potential opportunities and highlight constraints. b) Review all plans, studies and regulations affecting the corridor. 2.2 Traffic Data Analysis & Future Traffic Projections a) GHD, a subconsultant on the project team will review and analyze the road user count data provided by the City, including pedestrians and bicycle counts. It is assumed these counts are recent (within the last couple years) and include turning movement counts for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Collecting Traffic, pedestrian and bicycle counts are not included in this scope of work. Under this task we will also project future traffic volumes using previous studies, community circulation plans, the Regional Travel Demand Model, growth rate, VMT methodology and other tools that will help forecast multimodal demand before and after complete streets improvements are made. b) Safety Analysis – GHD will obtain and review the collision data available in the City’s Crossroads database. This data will be supplemented, if needed, with other collision databases such as the UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) and Statewide Integrated Traffic System (SWITRS). GHD will analyze the collisions by severity, type, and location and provide a detailed summary of pertinent information such as, but not limited to, involved party by mode (vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle), severity, collision factors, environmental factors, lighting, etc. A collision hotspot analysis will be performed to identify crash concentrations. Additionally, GHD will screen fatal and severe injury collisions in the study area to identify any physical, environmental, geometric, or infrastructure conditions or elements associated with high-injury crash risk. c) Traffic & Safety Technical Memorandum – The team will summarize the results of the analysis above into one technical memorandum that documents the existing and projected traffic conditions, the potential for traffic diversion and safety analysis. As part of the safety analysis discussion GHD will identify any potential safety deficiencies in the corridor based on the collision analysis and field review and provide recommendations on potential safety improvement opportunities. d) Qualitative Potential Traffic Diversion Analysis (Optional Task) When modifying a heavily traveled corridor into a complete street corridor there is potential for traffic to divert to parallel facilities, which could have negative impacts on adjacent neighborhoods, streets, and businesses. GHD will perform a qualitative analysis of potential for traffic diversions and document the findings in Task 2.2.3. It is assumed, for the purposes of this project, the diversion impacts would be minimal and a quantitative analysis would not be needed. However, if the City determined a quantitative analysis is needed, the scope and fee can be amended and we can perform the analysis. 2.3 Multimodal Analysis Our team will analyze the existing Highway 111 corridor from a non-motorized user perspective. The purpose of this analysis is to provide options for the Highway 111 corridor that alter the role of the street to provide a safe and efficient facility that includes bicycle and pedestrian users and provides connections to key destinations throughout the Corridor. The team will determine where the best points of connection are for the non-motorized users to provide access to the various Districts and encourage use of the CV Link and connections to surrounding businesses, attractions and more. 2.4 Place Making / In-fill Site Identification Consideration of potential in-fill development for the creation of activity nodes and new places (See Task 3). The team will identify those sites in the corridor that can be potentially accommodate in-fill development and where it makes most sense to establish new nodes of activity, such as: • Arts & Entertainment District: Washington Street to Adams Street • Retail & Recreation District: Adams Street to Dune Palms Drive • Hospitality & Mixed Use: Dune Palms Drive to Jefferson Street City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 16 2.5 SWG Public Workshop Conduct a SWG workshop in a venue on site to explain the findings of the Corridor Triage, explain the direction of the project and solicit in-put from interested parties Deliverables: - Opportunities and Challenges documents (report, graphics, maps) electronic copies only - Draft and Final Corridor Audit Technical Memo, electronic copies only - Identification of “new places” sites – mapping/graphics electronic copies only - Public Meeting Task 3: Complete Streets Action Plan Based on the ULI plan, the work performed in the tasks above, and City and community input, the entire team will work with staff to develop a draft vision for the corridor. The vision will establish guidelines and policies with supportive graphics including context sensitive Complete Streets designs for each of the three corridor segments, identified below, which may be adjusted as part of the initial project design work: • Arts & Entertainment District: Washington Street to Adams Street • Retail & Recreation District: Adams Street to Dune Palms Drive • Hospitality & Mixed Use: Dune Palms Drive to Jefferson Street (Task Fee: $24,480) 3.1 Develop the Highway 111 Vision Under this task we will utilize the traffic and safety and pedestrian and bicycle analyses performed above and leverage our expertise in traffic operations and complete streets designs to analyze and identify various complete streets opportunities that meet the established corridor vision. Examples of these opportunities are: • Corridor enhancements for ITS technologies in regards to lighting, transit, and signalization • Intersection enhancement and placemaking opportunities through innovative intersection alternatives • Pedestrian and bicycle safety, mobility and connectivity enhancements at the intersections and along the corridor • Opportunities for innovative storm water solutions that enhance the aesthetic character in addition to meeting water quality and storm drainage needs. • Unique access solutions that minimize impacts to the motoring public, reduce congestion on the corridor and provide needed access to adjacent properties All of these will be done keeping safety, mobility, economic development, mode shifts, and technological advances in the forefront of the plan development. Under this task our team will provide a written summary of the concepts and visualizations which will be photorealistic impressions of the concepts using Sketchup and Photoshop to include in the corridor plan. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that in addition to the graphics being put together for topics above, up to four (4) additional graphics will be provided as part of this task. The vision will guide implementation of the plan specific to each corridor segment and will be presented to City Council for acceptance. 3.2 Arts and Entertainment District The plan will focus on identifying uses and circulation configurations that maximizes the character of this sector. 3.3 Retail and Recreation District Recognizing the importance of this sector in the Corridor, the particular measures in the plan will address themselves to a character fitting this context. City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 17 3.3 Hospitality and Mixed-Use District Hotels and residential neighborhoods have different circulation needs and character than the other districts. The plan will reflect the unique character of this sector in the Corridor. Deliverables: 3a Memorandum documenting the findings contributions to the Plan Vision. 3b PDF of the corridor exhibits Task 4: Corridor Branding Developing a “brand” or theme for the corridor depends upon what we expect will be the nature of the district over time. Our team feels it is important to examine and analyze the real-estate and retail environment in order to more carefully tie a branding theme to the district. Building on Task 3, this task further examines the existing landscaped environment and from that develops a new landscape “theme”, planting palette, street furniture, materials and signage recommendations that will best enhance the emerging place that is an expression of the vision. Navigating the district is seen as a critical limitation, with high traffic volumes, few landmarks and multiple distractions. Organized “way-finding” is implicit within the Complete Streets plan, this effort is directed at making it easier and safer to navigate through the districts as well as invite people passing by into the district to shop, eat, play and work. (Task Fee: $37,790) 4.1 Real Estate/Retail/Commercial The market strategy will ensure that the planning for Highway 111 is based on solid, factual market information so that the recommended projects and development strategies are not just grounded in reality but are also credible and can be supported by a wide range of implementing partners and private investors. The market strategy will identify short- and long-term actions that can activate the economic opportunity to generate investment in La Quinta. We will build upon the market analysis that was prepared for the ULI report and will supplement and ground-truth it with direct research on land values and the real estate conditions in La Quinta that will drive private investment feasibility. Our national retail expert, David Greensfelder, will provide in-depth insight into the national retail landscape and its local implications to retail centers in La Quinta, specifically focusing on the balancing of specialty and commodity retail and ways that cities and property owners can optimize their assets for long-term fiscal sustainability. 4.2 Landscape Concepts Our landscape architects will focus on conceptual landscape design; including planting plans, inorganic material and artwork locations, sections, plant images, plant palette and narratives. Our team will explore options for the design of signage and produce streetscape alternates. Coupled with the “Complete Streets” effort, care will be taken to assure a comprehensive approach to wayfinding including informational and directional signs, landmarks and landscape features that add to the sense of place in the district. 4.3 Streetscape Design Alternatives We will provide potential street cross-sections and layouts for roadways and intersections within the area plan. 4.4 Streetscape Graphics The cross-sections will be will be photorealistic impressions of the sections using Sketchup and Photoshop. Deliverables: - Corridor branding and landscape program - mapping/graphics/street sections electronic files only - 3D Simulations City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 18 Task 5: Corridor Design Guidelines Using the existing Highway 111 Design Guidelines as a point of departure, and referring to Task 3 Complete Street Vision Plan, our team will develop design guidelines and standards for the corridor in a manner that is easily understood by the public but is robust enough to meet the technical needs of corridor plan. The guidelines will also incorporate potential in-fill development that might occur as a result of the vision plan. Existing La Quinta design guidelines will be referenced and modified if necessary. The text will be supported by the exhibits prepared in the tasks above and any additional exhibits needed. (Task Fee: $31,790) 5.1 Corridor Guidelines Utilizing a hybrid form-based approach, our team will formulate new design guidelines for the district. We will evaluate the merits of existing guidelines and integrate our new guidelines where appropriate. 5.2 3D Design Simulations Using 3-dimensional software, our team will illustrate the application of new guidelines focusing on Highway 111 and adjacent in-fill properties. 5.3 In-fill Guidelines Particular attention will be given to potential in-fill sites referring to Task 3 and assuring the guidelines are appropriate to the potential character of the given sector. 3 dimensional simulations will be used to illustrate the character and nature of development under the new guidelines. 5.4 Landscape Guidelines We will draft guidelines for landscape related elements of the design with photo simulations. 5.5 Second Stakeholder (SWG) Meeting SWG meeting to present all work to date and solicit feed-back and in-put. Deliverables: - Illustrated Design Standards for the corridor and the built environment - 3D simulations of guideline outcomes Task 6: Code and Standards Revisions The General Plan is the guiding document for all development in the City. Specific Plans address developments within the corridor. Codes and standards are the implementation tool for the plan and are the basis for SPs. Our team will review the General Plan as it applies to the corridor as well as all existing Specific Plans in the corridor in order to determine amendments, revisions or the rescinding of any SP, standard or code provisions. We will make recommendations reflective of this review. (Task Fee: $13,140) 6.1 General Plan Review and Amendment Recommendations Review of General Plan and all Specific Plans in the corridor. The review is performed with a view to the potential development in the corridor – the anticipated transition of the corridor to a more multi-modal “place” focused district. 6.2 Zoning Code Review/Revisions Review of the existing zoning code and provisions as they relate to the potential of the district. 6.3 Development Standards Review/Revisions Review of the existing development standards and provisions as they relate to the potential of the district. Deliverables: - Code/Ordinance/Development Standard revision recommendations City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 19 Task 7: Implementation Strategies Implementation of the vision plan is where “the rubber meets the road” – an appropriate metaphor for this corridor. The means and methods to make a plan real, over time, involve the vision plan itself, economic incentives (strategies), regulatory provisions (codes and ordinances) and the will of th e owners, City leaders and the community at large. Our team will focus on the infrastructure, regulatory and economic strategies necessary to bring the vision plan to life. (Task Fee: $32,320) 7.1 Real Estate/Retail Strategies We will develop a comprehensive, tailored set of financial and economic strategies to incentivize and attract the desired types of private investments. With the loss of redevelopment in California, cities must take a more nuanced and tailored approach to economic development, leveraging public assets and carefully targeting public-private partnerships where they will have the greatest impact on private investment. We will identify optimal phasing of real estate development and catalyst projects that will prime the pump for ongoing economic activity in the corridor. The strategy will also incorporate a high- level fiscal analysis of tax revenues to ensure that proposed solutions provide adequate property and sales tax revenues to sustain the city’s high standards for service delivery and quality. 7.2 Traffic/Transportation Strategies Our transportation team will develop circulation and transportation strategies that can be implemented by the City to ensure that the goals of the Area Plan are ultimately achieved. These strategies will be summarized in a memorandum. A draft and final version of the strategies will be provided. 7.3 Physical Planning Strategy – Conceptual Framework Plan Our team will produce a conceptual framework plan based upon our research, our real estate and “Complete Street” transportation strategies. 7.4 Final SWG/Public Presentation Our team will produce a conceptual framework plan based upon our research, our real estate and “Complete Street” transportation strategies. This framework will identify new places” within the district, circulation patterns, linkages, open space and potential development sites. We will provide a digital “fly- through” of the framework plan area. 7.5 Final Report We will compile all the pertinent graphics and text in a final report to be presented to the City, the Planning Commission and City Council Deliverables: - Implementation strategy and program for all aspects of the plan and Planning area Report/mapping/graphics/simulations/illustrative plan - SWG/Public Presentation - Final Report Task 8: Public Hearings While our team will have engaged decision-makers throughout the duration of the project, their final review and comment of the plan and products of the study will occur in the official public hearing settings. Our team will present our final products and explain the provisions of the plan and study to the decision-making bodies of the City. (Task Fee: $17,220) 8.1 Planning Commission At the direction of staff select team members will present our findings, products and plans at one planning commission hearing. 8.2 City Council At the direction of staff select team members will be available to present to 2 Council hearings Deliverables: - Attend and present at commission and council public hearings City of La Quinta – Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan 20 Conclusion It is our philosophy that a successful project is characterized by client satisfaction and we encourage you to contact our team’s project references to hear first-hand about our proven performance in successfully delivering a wide variety of projects.

June 2017 Date of Completion: Ongoing Consultant Project Manager: Lindsey Van Parys, 916.782.8688, lindsey.vanparys@ghd.com Project Objective: Prepare plans needed for Complete Street Corridors with five roundabouts and a road diet Project Outcome: Not completed La Quinta Village Complete Streets, A Road Diet Project - La Quinta The City of La Quinta was seeking to improve their pedestrian and bicycle safety with the use of roundabouts. The goal is to transform three heavily vehicle-dominated cor- ridors with three parks, an elementary school, and other destinations into pedestrian, bicycle, and neighborhood electric vehicle (golf carts) friendly complete streets with five roundabouts. We provided the preliminary costs estimates, cost/benefit analysis, assisted with preparation of the conceptual design, and assisted with the preparation of various Narrative Responses for the Cycle 3 Active Transportation Program grant application. GHD was then awarded the design work for the La Quinta Village Complete Streets, A Road Diet Project, due to our understanding of the special nature of this project because of the extensive research and analysis we undertook to develop a complete application. The project will provide three Complete Street Coordinators which includ- ed five roundabouts, a road diet which reduced travel lanes to provide bicycle lanes, and various pedestrian crossing improvements. The roundabouts will reduce the four-lane facilities to two-lanes and close gaps in existing bicycle facilities by providing Class II bicycle lanes and shared use paths.     SAN ANDREAS SR 49 SOUTHERN GATEWAY COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR STUDY - CALAVERAS COUNTY GHD prepared a “Complete Streets” plan with conceptual designs for a new south- ern gateway to San Andreas on State Route (SR) 49 for the Calaveras Council of Gov- ernments (CCOG). With over 240 underutilized or vacant acres surrounding an aban- doned airport site, we identified infrastructure improvements to support redevelop- ment opportunities and a new southern gateway that could provide the “sense of arrival” into San Andreas. Funded by a Caltrans Community-Based Transportation Planning Grant, the commu- nity was engaged to dialogue on the development potential of the south area and design of the corridor. Through those conversations, community concerns led to the expansion of the study area to encompass the entire SR 49 corridor, known locally as Saint Charles Street. GHD evaluated the full corridor, looking at “Complete Streets” improvement opportunities that would link focus nodes and planned growth areas to the existing community along the corridor. Recommended improve- ments were prioritized and phased based on community input, grant eligibility, safe- ty, capacity, and operational performance metrics, cost, and constructability. The plan was adopted by the CCOG Board, and the CCOG is currently exporting program- ming and funding opportunities through upcoming grant programs.

Challenges: Establish on a programmatic level if adequate demand exists to support development of new stores in sub-markets, or if relocating stores would better serve the community and establish improved market share. Provide CVS’ operations and real estate teams with adequate data to establish demand, and to create sales projections for a new or relocated unit. Strategy: • Evaluate target trade areas to determine sources of sales and establish if adequate demand exists to support development of a new store, or if a relocated store would better serve the community and provide for improved market share. • Break the market into sub-trade areas to better understand where potential customers are located, and establish local shopping patterns. • Provide CVS’ operations and real estate teams with data to establish demand, and to create sales projections. • Perform a GAP analysis to calculate the potential sales for a new store in the trade area. Results: Greensfelder established an overall market strategy and performed a GAP analysis for CVS for many sub-markets, including the example shown here. Over a short period, CVS approved over 25 new stores totaling over 375,000 square feet, and with over $100 million in acquisition and construction value. RGA Landscape Architects, Inc.
