CC 13.Award of Project – Slow Streets Temporary Signing and Striping: Fern Avenue, Lowtree Avenue, and Loneoak Avenue Award Slow Streets Temporary Signing and Striping: Fern Avenue, Lowtree Avenue, and Loneoak Avenue to Cal-Stripe, Inc., of the City of Colton, California, in the amount of $132,873.50, base quote, plus a 15% contingency, to install temporary signing and striping on three road segments. In September 2021, the City applied to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (LACMTA) to participate in their Open Streets Grant program. The application proposed a hybrid event that will combine all of the great things a traditional Open Streets event has to offer through a one-day Lancaster Walk N Roll Fest in the middle of an entire month where a targeted network of Slow Streets Neighborhoods surrounding the route is created to both teach vehicle users to slow down and encourage the use of sustainable transportation. Utilizing the City’s 2023-2026 Multi-Year Professional Services Agreement, staff issued a task order with STC Traffic, Inc. for the engineering of alternative traffic calming applications for road segments within the Slow Streets Neighborhoods. Through this process, it was determined that the best road segments for this purpose are Fern, Lowtree, and Loneoak Avenues.
