We have assembled an outstanding team with extensive experience with urban revitalization, complete streets design, active transportation planning, mixed-use development and economic analysis. Our team has an excellent track record of successful projects of similar scope and in the surrounding Palm Springs area, including: RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE: • City of El Cajon - El Cajon Transit District Specific Plan - M.W. Steele Group, Inc. (MWSG), Chen Ryan, Schmidt Design Group and Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) • City of La Quinta Library and Museum - MWSG • City of Palm Desert - Hotel Analyses - KMA • Indio General Plan Update - Mobility Element - Indio, CA - Chen Ryan • Fiesta De Vida Conceptual Design Plan - Indio, CA - Schmidt Design Group HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT: Our firm is well known for a broad range of design and planning assignments that have sought to create or have directly contributed to successful, mixed-use districts. As we prepared this proposal, several distinguishing characteristics of our team set us apart: We have experience in master planning for mixed-use, transit-oriented districts. From the “refresh” of aging retail centers to the master plan for a mixed-use transit district, we have a breadth of experience with commercial and residential mixed- use that includes the design of mixed-use building projects. We understand the land use strategies it takes to revitalize and breathe new life into commercial centers and residential neighborhoods. We are a fully integrated practice, with planning and architecture expertise. Most firms will claim they can do both, but we have a 35-year history of completed work in both planning and architecture. This integration of architectural and planning skills in our office provides our firm with a depth of “real world” understanding. We know what it takes to build what we plan, and conversely, we know how what we build affects the urban environment. We are context-driven and client-focused. We have worked in the area, with several significant projects in the cities of Palm Desert, Indio, and La Quinta. We do not apply formulas or impose best practices until we fully understand the client’s needs and the community context. Our plans are custom-made to fit the needs of the project and we rely on our experience to validate proposals and ideas, rather than a rule book. We have experience in Complete Street Design and Active Communities. Our recent experience includes specific plans and corridor plans for transit-oriented districts with Complete Streets, last-mile connections and pedestrian safety and traffic calming techniques. We are known for our work in environmental justice and our Award-Winning Public Outreach. Stakeholder participation and engagement is a critical component of any successful planning process. Community stakeholders are the cornerstone of a plan, without which positive change is not possible. M.W. Steele Group leads community engagement processes, from workshops, to “charrettes”, public meetings, one-on-one interviews and on-the-ground advocacy. Our Pop-up Outreach and planning work with the ethnically diverse yet economically disadvantaged community of Southeastern San Diego was recognized in 2015 with a National Achievement Award for Public Outreach from the American Planning Association and subsequently by the San Diego APA with a Planning Firm of the Year Award in 2017. We are proud of this work and look forward to partnering with the City of La Quinta on this project. M.W.

STEELE GROUP | P ROPOS a L f OR T h E L a Q uinta H ig H way 111 C orridor a rea P L an r FP 5 We have maintained an integrated practice comprised of planning, urban design, and architecture. Starting with the planning and urban design considerations for each project, we often carry those concepts forward with architectural design that is sensitive to context and environment. The Corporation is owned solely by Mark Steele. There are two managing principals, Steve Miles and Diego Velasco. Our 16 person firm has successfully completed hundreds of projects within the private and public sector spanning across disciplines - retail, hospitality, residential, planning and civic. While well known for our award winning architectural work, the firm has consistently directed and participated in planning and urban design efforts at many levels since its founding. The integration of architectural and planning skills in our office provides our firm with a depth of “real world” understanding. We know what it takes to build what we plan and conversely we know how what we build affects the urban environment. Our planning and urban design work encompasses all scales and types of urban settings from a streescape design to the plan for an entire city. Our approach to planning focuses on the stakeholders and citizens that are affected by the decisions that result from the process. This has resulted in a process that is based on outreach, citizen involvement and a meaningful dialogue. Much of our work is the establishment of a vision and the implementing guidelines and standards that ensure the vision becomes reality. Some recent examples of this approach and scope is evidenced in: • El Cajon Transit District Specific Plan - Community Outreach, TOD Feasibility Study • City of Fresno General Plan Update - Urban Form and Development Code • Solana 101 - Mixed Use Development • Otay Village Specific Plan - Urban Design and Master Planning • Liberty Station - the Naval Training Center Re-use Plan and Specific Plan • City of San Diego - Mixed-Use Zoning Code This work illustrates our firm’s primary emphasis in planning; creating human scale liv- able communities, primarily in the urban environment through urban design. We have developed design techniques that combine land use, streets, sidewalks and paths, natural features and terrain with anticipated building forms to create a satisfying and supportive urban form and public realm. This is at the very core of what we do and what we do best. Architecture and Planning experience at the M.W. Steele Group is vested in the individual experience of our pro- fessional staff. That experience allows us to offer genuinely comprehensive and fully-integrated services. • Architecture • Master Planning • Policy Planning • Urban Design • Visioning • Project Management • Site Evaluation / Feasibility Studies • Sustainability Consulting • Programming • Interior Design • Graphic Design www.mwsteele.com SINCE 1983, THE MOST POWERFUL AND ENDURING CONCEPT WE’VE BUILT IS COMMUNITY M.W.

The City of Indio Mobility Element Update takes a holistic approach to transportation, addressing the user needs of all ages, abilities, and transportation modes. Multimodal planning was greatly facilitated by the existing wide roadways, which will enable the planned improvements to be implemented through minimal modifications, like diets, greatly reducing construction costs and having minimal effects on vehicular operations. The community placed particular emphasis on creating quality connections to the planned CV Link, a regional multi-use pathway spanning the Coachella Valley. A series of “spurs” are planned to ease active transportation connections to this future community asset. Palm Avenue Revitalization Plan, San Diego | CA | Principal in Charge. The Palm Avenue Revitalization Plan provides a blueprint for improving multimodal mobility along a 1.25-mile long corridor in the Otay Mesa-Nestor community of San Diego. The preferred alternative design reduces all travel lane widths to 11’ as a traffic calming mechanism and to provide for an 8’ raised cycle track along each side of Palm Avenue. Bus stops were incorporated into the design to limit conflicts with cyclists and vehicular traffic. Pedestrian access to the Blue Line Trolley Station will be improved through the installation of high visibility crosswalks and lead pedestrian interval (LPI) signal phasing. LADOT Vision Zero 2017 Priority Corridors Technical Analysis, San Diego, CA | Project Manager. Chen Ryan recently prepared a Technical Analysis for 14 priority corridors in support of the City of Los Angeles’ 2017 Vision Zero initiative. The 14 priority corridors were gleaned from the City’s High Injury Network (HIN). The recommended roadway safety improvements employ strategies such as reduction of travel or peak-hour lanes to accommodate alternative travel modes such as bus-only or bike lanes. The Technical Report documents project impact significance, change in delay for motorists, and implications to overall corridor travel time after project implementation. Downtown San Diego Mobility Plan, San Diego, CA | Project Manager. Chen Ryan Associates served as the prime consultant preparing the Downtown San Diego Mobility Plan. The Plan identifies a multimodal mobility network and establishes policies, programs and projects to improve overall mobility throughout the Downtown San Diego area for all modes. The Downtown San Diego Mobility Plan is supported a layered network approach, prioritizing specific corridors for specific modes, while allowing for travel by the non-prioritized modes. This approach results in well-connected “layered” networks across the community, providing multimodal mobility in a manner that minimizes conflicts and provides for comfortable and convenient travel choices community-wide. prof essional affiliations Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS) Registered Traffic Engineers of America (RTEA e ducation Bachelor of Science, Civil Engineering r egis tered t raf fic e ngineer , l icense n o . 2272 project role mobility project manager Monique Chen has 20 years of experience providing engineering and planning services to the transportation industry, including both public and private sector clients.

The Morena Corridor Specific Plan serves to transform the auto-oriented Morena Boulevard corridor into a pedestrian- friendly village, supported by mixed-use development and a balanced transportation network. As the mobility consultant, Chen Ryan Associates assisted with identifying alternatives that leverage two of the planned Mid-Coast Trolley stations, as well as an existing Green Line Trolley station. A key component of the recommended network is a two-way cycle track along the west side of the roadway, taking advantage of the existing rail corridor alignment to limit bicycle-vehicle conflicts. Bicycle and pedestrian access to the all three trolley stops will be supported by a series of intersection curb bulb-outs, high visibility crosswalks, lead pedestrian and bicycle intervals at signalized crossings, and new bicycle facilities. City of San Diego Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP), San Diego, CA | Transportation Planner. Chen Ryan Associates is currently working with City of San Diego staff to develop and implement a Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP). The SSARP serves to formalize a process for performing multimodal collision analyses as a means to identify roadway network safety issues and recommend countermeasures. The project entails conducting a detailed collision analysis coupled with roadway characteristic data collection at each location. This information will be used to populate a matrix to identify potential trends and environmental characteristics that may influence collisions. A list of systemic, low-cost countermeasures is also being developed that can be applied to the varying roadway environments where deficiencies are identified.

The primary objective of planning efforts for the Highway 111 Corridor should be to ensure the long-term prosperity and growth of the corridor as we embrace a new direction for retail experiences, mixed-use development and active transportation. That future includes greater opportunities for multimodal mobility, with the extension of the CV Link through the area, strategies for accommodation of automated and rideshare vehicles, scooters and other types of private vehicles, and better pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and environments. It also includes opportunities for mixed-use development as the corridor and surrounding areas transform in the next decade into the many great places that will offer unique life experiences for residents and visitors alike. Prior studies and plans for the corridor provide a sound and compelling framework that we should build-upon and detail. We have the opportunity to design Complete Streets that fit in with the context of the corridor and La Quinta and provide benefits for enhanced mobility, storm water management, and safety while reinforcing a sense of place and an authentic “brand” for the corridor. We have the chance to detail and demonstrate what mixed-use development in the corridor looks like and how it works. This effort should be grounded in a sound understanding of the economic and market feasibility of different development types and scenarios. Ultimately, the plan allows us to bring together for you all the various plans and studies done for the area into one cohesive and consistent vision that landowners, residents, city leaders and other stakeholders can get behind as the city grows. Project Approach Our approach to the Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan hinges on five primary imperatives for the project: • Build upon, not reinvent, prior planning and community driven visions for the area. • Show what is possible and focus on visual simulations and accurate representations of the vision through more detailed site design and architectural concepts. • Ensure the plan is feasible and implementable by testing development scenarios and building types in close partnership with economic analysis and financial modeling. • Integrate Complete Streets, multimodal mobility, branding and themeing with development types and site design opportunities so there is a cohesive and solid vision for the corridor. • Involve key stakeholders and encourage positive change for the corridor. Approach to Stakeholder Engagement Our steadfast focus on building community sets us apart from other design firms. Over the years, we have designed innovative and engaging techniques that bring community stakeholders together during the design process - uniting them towards a common plan and goals. Most recently, our Pop-Up Outreach Program for the City of San Diego was recognized at the national level with a National Achievement Award for Public Outreach by the American Planning Association.

Together, these engagement methods will ensure that we reach out to a diversity of stakeholders with a wide range of exercises and tools that allow them to contribute in ways they feel most comfortable. Our team will prepare graphics, visuals and worksheets to assist in the outreach process, and we will make sure the result is effective and also fun. Summary of Project Tasks We have thoroughly read and understand the project scope of work as outlined in the RFP. From your proposed scope, we envision our work will focus on the following key tasks: • A robust and comprehensive mobility analysis of the corridor, leading to Complete Streets strategies and recommendations. • A thorough financial feasibility study of development scenarios and building types, focused on testing the viability of future mixed-use and retail. This study will be informed by a market opportunities analysis based on assessment of current market conditions and future plausible scenarios. • A marketable plan that illustrates a clear and compelling vision, with visuals that show development, placemaking and streetscape concepts for the area. • A detailed and developed theme or brand for the area that builds upon the concept of Pedestrian Themed Districts that has been proposed in the ULI TAP Study completed for the corridor. • An Implementation Program that includes financing mechanisms and zoning code and development standards to encourage mixed-use, walkable and urban environments, rich with experiences. The traditionally auto-dominated corridor will be revaluated using a multimodal perspective to identify opportunities for improving the mobility, connectivity, comfort, and safety of all roadway users. The assessment will utilize mode specific evaluations to quantify conditions from the perspective of pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and motorists.

A large emphasis was placed on improving bicycle and pedestrian mobility through the provision of protected bicycle facilities and multi-use paths, largely focused around schools, parks, and connections to City’s downtown area. Multimodal planning was greatly facilitated by the existing wide roadways, which will enable the planned improvements to be implemented through minimal modifications, like diets, greatly reducing construction costs and having minimal effects on vehicular operations. The community placed particular emphasis on creating quality connections to the planned CV Link, a regional multi-use pathway spanning the Coachella Valley. A series of “spurs” are planned to ease active transportation connections to this future community asset.

Existing conditions include a 45MPH posted speed limit, 6-lanes of vehicular travel, high traffic volumes (>60k ADT), and multiple freeway ramps, resulting in uncomfortable conditions pedestrians and cyclists. The preferred alternative design reduces all travel lane widths to 11’ as a traffic calming mechanism and to provide for an 8’ raised cycle track along each side of Palm Avenue. Bus stops were incorporated into the design to limit conflicts with cyclists and vehicular traffic. Pedestrian access to the Blue Line Trolley Station will be improved through the installation of high visibility crosswalks and lead pedestrian interval (LPI) signal phasing. Four freeway on-/off-ramps are recommended to be squared as a means to improve pedestrian and cyclist visibility to motorists, and slow vehicles as they transition off the freeway.
