HSIP Cycle 12 Hope School District Crosswalk Safety Project

The Project will provide enhanced pedestrian crossings at three uncontrolled crosswalks near Hope and Monte Vista Elementary Schools, to include: (1) La Colina Road at Hope Elementary School; (2) North Hope Avenue at Monte Vista Elementary School; and (3) North Hope Avenue at Pueblo Avenue. Enhancements include curb extensions at the school crosswalks, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), and safety lighting. The curb extensions will improve sightlines for pedestrians and drivers around parked vehicles and reduce pedestrian exposure to moving vehicles by shortening the street crossing distance. In addition, streetlighting will be installed to improve pedestrian visibility. Pedestrian crossing signs as well as thermal crosswalk markings will be installed.
