Project Start/End Date: June 2021 - October 2023
WEBB partnered with the City of Perris on the Perris Valley Storm Drain (PVSD) Channel Trail, Phase 2, to enhance regional
connectivity through innovative engineering solutions while addressing technical challenges. The project was divided into
two segments: Segment 1, extending from Nuevo Road to the Caltrans I-215 property line, and Segment 2, which included
a crossing over the San Jacinto River and continued to the Metrolink station.
In 2023, WEBB played a pivotal role in advancing the City’s vision by preparing final plans, specifications, and estimates
for Segment 2. One of the project’s most significant engineering challenges involved addressing concerns raised by
the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) and Wildlife Agencies regarding a proposed truss bridge’s impact on wildlife
movement. WEBB identified and evaluated three alternative designs, ultimately selecting the Arizona Crossing as the
preferred solution. This design balanced engineering functionality with ecological considerations, ensuring project viability.
WEBB’s scope of work included revising the trail alignment to integrate the Arizona Crossing, conducting a comprehensive
hydrology study to analyze pre- and post-project conditions, and completing detailed field surveys along critical sections
of the alignment. The team also facilitated inter-agency coordination, securing preliminary approvals from Flood Control,
Caltrans, RCA, and Wildlife Agencies, and obtaining a new Caltrans Encroachment Permit.
Through innovative design strategies and meticulous project management, WEBB successfully addressed complex
technical challenges and advanced the PVSD Channel Trail. This project represents a significant step forward in regional
connectivity, demonstrating how engineering excellence can create vital transportation links while accommodating

WEBB assisted the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative (LANI) in submitting two successful ATP
Cycle 6 applications. The Skid Row Connectivity and Safety Project, awarded $47 million, aims to transform a neglected
area of Downtown Los Angeles by implementing 12,870 feet of Class IV bike facilities, pedestrian improvements, and traffic
calming measures.
This project focuses on enhancing safety and connectivity for non-motorized road users, particularly in high-collision areas
identified in the City’s Vision Zero Priority Corridors. Key features include a pedestrian-activated public plaza and various
bike and pedestrian amenities to promote active transportation.
The Boyle Heights Community Connectivity Project, awarded $38 million, seeks to improve safety and connectivity in
the historic but under-resourced Boyle Heights neighborhood. Spanning 1.5 miles along Boyle Avenue and including two
sub-corridors, the project will introduce protected bike lanes, enhanced crosswalks, ADA-compliant sidewalks, and multi-
modal hubs.
These improvements align with the City’s Mobility Plan 2035, aiming to create a comprehensive bike and pedestrian network
that connects key destinations and supports equitable transportation options for disadvantaged community residents and
vulnerable roadway users such as seniors and children.

5. Project Understanding & Approach
It is our understanding that the Washington Street Connector project in La Quinta is a critical segment in enhancing the
region’s active transportation infrastructure. The proposed project will create a multi-use Class I path running east of
Washington Street in the existing parkway area, between Avenue 48 and Eisenhower Drive, filling an existing gap in the
local transportation network. This new path will provide a safer and more accessible route for bicyclists, pedestrians, golf
carts, and other non-motorized modes of transportation. Identified in the 2035 La Quinta General Plan under the Circulation
Element, this segment of Washington Street is designated as a Class I Golf Cart/NEV Path. The path will run along the west
side of Rancho La Quinta Golf & Country Club, leading to its main entrance on Washington Street. Beyond serving golf
carts traveling to and from the club, it will also function as a regional connector, linking to the Arts and Music Line (AML)
along Avenue 48 and enhancing the area’s overall active transportation options.
The Washington Street Connector will link directly to the AML, a regional active transportation project extending from La
Quinta to Indio and Coachella, featuring 9 miles of protected bike lanes. By connecting to the AML, the Washington Street
Connector will offer access to key destinations within La Quinta, including the Civic Center, Old Town, Community Park,
Fritz Burn Park, and the Cove Trailhead further to the south. Positioned at the western end of the AML, it will serve as a
crucial connection for both local and regional users. At the Eisenhower Drive intersection, the path will also connect to the
Class II bike facilities, providing access to nearby residential communities along this corridor.
This connector will benefit cyclists, pedestrians, and golf cart users, improving overall mobility and safety for a wide range
of non-motorized users. To the north, the project will seamlessly connect to the AML at Avenue 48, and further connections
will be made to the La Quinta Evacuation Channel’s planned bike path, ultimately linking to the CV-Link, a regional multi-use
path across the Coachella Valley.
Challenge: Designing Intersection(s) to Accommodate the Class I Facility
One of the key challenges in this project is ensuring that the two intersections along the corridor—Ave 48/Washington St
and Washington St/Eisenhower Drive—can safely and efficiently accommodate the new Class I facility. Given the existing
traffic operations and infrastructure, it is critical to modify the intersection designs to provide a safe and accessible path
for all users.
Our Approach
Building on our previous experience with traffic signal modification plans for these two intersections, we are well-positioned
to address these challenges. We will review the existing modification plans and identify the necessary adjustments to
enhance safety and functionality. Our approach includes optimizing traffic signal systems with improved detection for
pedestrians and cyclists. Additionally, we may need to relocate traffic signal poles to expand and enhance the crossing
waiting areas at curb ramps, ensuring all users’ safe and seamless experience.
Challenge: Right of Way (ROW) and Coordination with Homeowners Associations (HOA)
A key challenge in this project involves addressing the potential impact on two parcels along Washington St, located within
the existing sidewalk easement in the parkway area. While the proposed improvements will be constructed within the
boundaries of this easement, it is critical to ensure that all necessary coordination with the affected parties, particularly the
HOA, is effectively managed to avoid delays and ensure proper maintenance agreements.
10
Our Approach
Our preliminary research determined that no additional ROW or easement will be required, as the existing easement is
sufficiently wide to accommodate the proposed improvements. Therefore, there is no need for temporary construction
easements, waiver valuations, appraisals, or the acquisition of new property rights. All work will be completed within the
existing easement.
To address maintenance responsibilities, we will work with the City and the Master Association for Rancho La Quinta, which
owns the underlying fee title for the easement areas. The HOA currently maintains landscaping and irrigation systems, but
the proposed modifications will require the City to assume these responsibilities. We will facilitate the development of a
landscape and facility maintenance agreement to define long-term upkeep responsibilities clearly.
Additionally, we are leveraging our ongoing coordination efforts with CVAG’s AML active transportation project, where we
are managing coordination with several HOAs, including Rancho La Quinta. This established relationship with the HOA will
help streamline the coordination process and assist in developing the Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the
City.
All services will comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, including the Uniform Relocation Assistance
and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (49 CFR Part 24), the Real Property Acquisition Guidelines (Title 25, California
Code of Regulations), and the City’s policies and procedures.
Challenge: Landscape Design
A key challenge for this project involves designing a landscape that meets the city’s guidelines while ensuring the multi-
use path is properly integrated with the surrounding environment. Additionally, the project area will be split between two
maintenance entities—the City of La Quinta and the existing HOA—requiring coordination for long-term upkeep.
Our Approach
We will begin by outlining the required re-grading along the multi-use path to ensure the landscape design is functional
and aesthetically pleasing. We will develop a landscape plan that aligns with the city’s guidelines. If a specific concept
with retaining structures is selected, we will assess and propose the most visually appealing layout. Once the path layout
is defined, we will create a planting plan that complies with city guidelines and is acceptable to the relevant maintenance
entities.
Given the split maintenance responsibilities between the City of La Quinta and the HOA, we will coordinate with CVWD to
install a new water meter to serve the city’s portion of the project. Additionally, we will work closely with City staff to specify
the irrigation equipment that aligns with their current standards, ensuring smooth implementation and future landscape
maintenance.
Challenge: Providing Adequate Lighting for Safety along the Path
A significant challenge for this project is the current lack of street lighting along Washington St in the project segment.
Installing proper lighting is essential for improving safety and visibility, especially for the proposed multi-use path during
nighttime use, yet it was not explicitly addressed in the RFP.
Our Approach
If the City opts to include lighting as part of the path design, we will adhere to IESNA-recommended lighting practices
to ensure adequate illumination. Proper lighting is essential for enhancing safety, as it improves visibility for path users,
reduces the likelihood of accidents, and contributes to a more secure environment. Well-designed lighting will enable users
to see the path clearly while ensuring they are visible to others. This will improve security, encourage nighttime use, and
help prevent accidents by enhancing reaction times. By providing a well-lit path, we aim to create a safer, more comfortable
space for cyclists, pedestrians, and golf carts, ultimately increasing the overall usability of the path and reducing collision
risks.

2.2 Alignment/ROW Survey
• Utilizing prior survey data obtained with the Arts & Music Line project, prepare a base map delineating the existing
right-of-way and street centerlines from the south side of Eisenhower Drive to the north side of Avenue 48, based on
the obtained records research, field survey data and documents from the Arts & Music Line project.
DELIVERABLES: AutoCAD file with 2D linework for the existing property lines, easements, right of-way, and street centerlines
to be used and referenced for design (PB File).
Note: This scope of work does not include a record of survey. If it becomes necessary to file a record of survey and/or set
survey monuments, a separate authorization will be needed.
TASK 3 - UTILITY COORDINATION
3.1 Data Compilation/Site Visit
We will contact Dig-Alert to secure an official ticket with contact information of all known utilities within the project limits.
Record request forms will be sent to all utility owners requesting as-built facilities and available record drawings.
Upon compiling as-built information from utility owners, we will conduct a site visit to identify all existing improvements
shown on the as-builts to verify their accuracy and note facilities such as manholes and valves that are identified in the
as-built plans but not visible in the field. These conditions will be flagged and sent to our project survey team. Additionally,
follow-up discussions with the utility owners will occur for these cases in the event past improvement projects inadvertently
paved over the manhole/valve covers.
3.2 Utility Conflict Mapping/Utility Relocation Coordination and Agreements
We will utilize as-built data and maps obtained from the utility companies to prepare existing utility base mapping and
identify all utilities on the plans that are within the project limits. The utility mapping developed for the PS&E will be verified
through topographic surveys.
During the design development, high and low-risk facilities will be identified, and a Utility Conflict Matrix will be developed
to record the findings and begin coordinating with the utility owners. We will provide all correspondence/communication
efforts to the City upon completion of the final design.
We will call the utility companies as necessary until a written response form is received from each potentially conflicting
utility. We will Identify all known utilities that potentially conflict with the planned project improvements and determine
special requirements for facilities, including protection, relocation, right-of-way easements, and construction. We will
coordinate with utility companies to schedule the relocation of the utilities before the start of construction.
3.3 Utility Potholing (Optional)
It is anticipated that up to three traffic signal poles may need to be relocated with the construction of the Class I path to
provide more space for users. Utility potholing for three potential pole relocation locations is recommended to help ensure
that no utility conflicts are encountered during construction. Utility potholing should be done after the 65% plan stage
by Webb’s subconsultant. Webb will prepare a potholing location exhibit to be provided to the potholing subconsultant.
The subconsultant will check for utility conflicts by digging X-trench potholes approximately 5’ in diameter and 6’ deep. A
potholing report will be prepared and reviewed to be incorporated into the plans as necessary.
DELIVERABLES: Records obtained from the City and Outside Agencies, Utility locations shown on the base mapping,

TASK 4 - MULTI-USE PATH IMPROVEMENT PLANS
4.1 35% Concept Plan
At the 35% concept review stage, we will submit the geometric approval drawings for the Washington Street Connector
multi-use path, which extends east of Washington Street from Ave 48 to Eisenhower Drive. This submittal will include an
initial set of drawings that show the proposed alignment of the multi-use path. Perspective renderings will be provided
to further explain the relationship between the proposed pathway and the existing slope. We will ensure that all curves,
tapers, and other key geometric elements are clearly represented. Additionally, we will identify and document any potential
utility conflicts at this stage. It is understood that this stage may require multiple revisions and re-submittals to refine the
design and ensure it aligns with project goals. A well-coordinated concept review is crucial for laying a solid foundation,
ensuring a smooth transition to the next stages of design.
4.2 65% Plan Set
Following the initial concept review, we will submit the 65% multi-use path improvement plan set. Improvement plans
will be prepared at 1”=40’ scale for plan view and 1”=4’ for profile view using current City of La Quinta standards and
requirements. This submittal will include a complete set of plans covering all key design elements, including existing
sidewalk demolition, grading and grading limits, curb ramp replacements, ADA-compliant ramps, retaining structures, and
necessary utility relocations or adjustments. Curb, gutter, and curb ramps will be designed according to the City standards.
We will address any required utility adjustments or relocations, ensuring that changes to existing utilities or features are
properly incorporated into the design. Additionally, we will identify any streetscape elements and outline plans for the
protection, removal, or relocation of any site features. Once the plans are submitted to the City, we will review and revise
them based on feedback to ensure we are prepared for the 90% plan submittal.
4.3 90-100% Plan Set
The 90-100% final review submittal will include the fully developed and completed improvement plans, including details for
sidewalk demolition, grading, curb ramp replacements, retaining walls, and utility relocations/adjustments. At this stage,
we will ensure all design elements are finalized, and the plans will undergo a thorough internal review to confirm their
completeness and accuracy. Once submitted to the City, we will address any comments and make necessary revisions
before resubmitting the updated plans for final approval.
DELIVERABLES: Multi-Use Path Improvement Plans at 35%, 65%, 90-100%.
Note: This scope of work is based on a standard Caltrans wall design, assuming the City chooses to proceed with a
structural wall to address the existing slope. If a more complex structural wall is required, a separate budget and scope will
be developed for that.
TASK 5 - SIGNING & STRIPING PLANS
5.1 65% and 90-100% Plan Set
We will prepare detailed signing and striping plans, submitted as part of the 65%, 90%, and 100% plan sets. These plans
will be prepared at a 1” = 40’ scale and will clearly illustrate the proposed striping, pavement legends, sign types, sign
locations, and include general construction notes. We will ensure that the signing and striping plans fully comply with
Caltrans Standard Plans, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) standards, and the City of
La Quinta’s design standards. These plans will be updated and refined through each review stage to ensure accuracy and
alignment with project requirements.
DELIVERABLES: Signing & Striping Plans at 65%, and 90-100%.

TASK 6 - LANDSCAPE PLANS
6.1 35% Concept Plan
As mentioned above, a concept plan will be developed to introduce the stakeholders to the new width and alignment of the
path and its connection to the proposed Arts and Music Line along Ave 48. Our landscape architectural team will design
the new alignment, proposing the most pleasant user experience possible. As the existing slope could be a hindrance or
an opportunity, it is important to evaluate different possibilities. We will develop an overall plan at a reasonable scale with
enlargements at areas that may require more detail. Materials and colors will also be available for team evaluation. Two
perspective renderings will be created to further explain the design.
DELIVERABLES: Rendered Concept plan of path route, 2 perspective renderings, materials board
6.2 65% Plan Set
The Landscape construction set will be at 1”=20’ scale or larger so that the planting and irrigation plans can be easily
interpreted. Landscape Construction plans will include:

Construction Package will include:
• Construction plan
• Planting plan
• Irrigation plan
• Final Landscape Specifications
• Final Cost Estimate
DELIVERABLES: 90-100% construction plan set, water use calculations, revised cost estimate.
TASK 7 - SPECIFICATION AND ESTIMATE
7.1 Specifications and Estimate
As part of the project, we will prepare a comprehensive quantity breakdown and cost estimate for the proposed
improvements, which will be provided at the 65%, 90%, and 100% plan check stages. Additionally, we will obtain the City’s
specification boilerplate (contract documents) and modify them to be project-specific, with the final specifications provided
at the 90% and 100% plan check stages. We will also develop a bid schedule, and technical specifications tailored to the
multi-use path improvements, signing striping, traffic signal, and landscaping plans ensuring all documents are aligned with
the project’s requirements and ready for review at the appropriate stages.
DELIVERABLES: Project Cost Estimate at 35%, 65%, and 90-100% stages, project specifications.
