Citrus Avenue and Redlands High School Crossing Project

The City of Redlands is seeking professional engineering consulting services to address safety and operational challenges at a high-traffic pedestrian crossing along Citrus Avenue between the north and south campuses of Redlands High School. With hundreds of students, faculty, and staff crossing daily, the current at-grade pedestrian-activated crossing has proven insufficient due to ongoing conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, driver inattentiveness, traffic delays, and hindered emergency response times. The project aims to evaluate and design a grade-separated pedestrian crossing solution that enhances safety for all users while minimizing disruptions to vehicular traffic and ensuring reliable access for emergency vehicles. Additional goals include improving bicycle and pedestrian connectivity between the two campuses and delivering a constructible, financially feasible long-term transportation improvement. The consulting services will involve comprehensive analysis of existing conditions, evaluation of alternative designs, development of engineering plans, and preparation of a final recommendation that meets all project objectives. The solicitation is open under the number 20260716GD, with proposals due by July 16, 2026, and no bid bond is required. The contract is managed by the Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department of the City of Redlands, with Goutam Dobey serving as the primary point of contact. The work is to be performed at the Citrus Avenue corridor in Redlands, California, and the selected firm will be tasked with delivering a solution that balances public safety, traffic efficiency, and fiscal responsibility.
