Background The City of Lake Elsinore is one of the fastest growing California cities with 2% annual growth. While the City’s Healthy LE initiative offers programs to promote a healthy lifestyle, it has limited pedestrian andbicycle amenities to allow this healthy lifestyle to be practiced. The City recognizes the need for a comprehensive Active Transportation Plan / Regional Commuter Based Access Plan (ATP) that would prioritize bikeway and pedestrian improvements based on criteria such as:regional and local connectivity, safe routes to school, ten-minute neighborhoods, recreation amenities, and recommendations for smart infill growth with accompanying ATP improvements. The City Council approved $100,000 towards the development of an ATPin the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), demonstrating the importance of active transportation facility planning. In 2017, the City staff applied and the City was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Sustainable Communities Grant in the amount of $175,000 for the preparation of an ATP. Discussion The ATP will include the planning of a complete network of non-motorized facilities that connect existing and future activity centers, recreation facilities, transit stations, residential neighborhoods, employment centers, as well as civic and retail hubs.In addition, the ATP will address safe routes to schools and first and last mile challenges. The project scope includes public outreach, the development of a cohesive active transportation network, project sheets with cost estimates, conceptual layouts (including plan view and cross section views),as well as a prioritized project list withimplementation strategies, 3D renderings, and funding sources. By developing this ATP, the City will substantially increase opportunities for additional grant funding for the implementation of relatedprojects. Active Transporation Plan July 10, 2018 Page 2 In 2018, in partnership with Caltrans, City staff solicited for proposals to prepare the ATP. Three proposals were submitted,and all three consultant teams were interviewed. Teams were evaluated based on the firm’s experience, the project team’s experience, proposed project approach, and proposed budget. Based on this thorough analysis, the City has selected Chen Ryan Associates with the partnership support of Placeworks. Chen Ryan Associates is a transportation planning and engineering firm with an extensive portfolio of active transportation network related projects throughout Southern California in a variety of communities. Chen Ryan Associatesbrings a significant amount of expertise and new innovative technological considerations to planning efforts.

The City is poised for significant growth and throughout the region, cities are realizing that they cannot build their way out of congestion. In order to move people more effectively and preserve open space, the City must establish a suite of competitive mobility choices beyond the private automobile. This effort provides an exciting opportunity to take a fresh look at Lake Elsinore's options for innovative and improved bicycle, pedestrian, transit, school, and park access environments, and to provide the level of analysis required to move key projects and initiatives forward in a comprehensive and cohesive manner. An effective, informed, and comprehensive approach to active transportation will help the City make informed decisions regarding the development and maintenance of an "8 to 80"sustainable transportation network for people of all ages and abilities. We are currently assisting the cities of Carlsbad and Chula Vista on similar efforts that combine the traditional outcomes of a list of infrastructure improvements for people walking and biking with comprehensive design guidelines and recommendations in the field of emerging mobility. We are happy and bring the expertise and lessons learned from these efforts to the City of Lake Elsinore. Chen Ryan Associates has established a reputation throughout Southern California as a trusted partner in the development and implementation of Active Transportation Plans, and we view the planning effort as the first step in a long-term relationship with our clients. In recognition of this special relationship with our clients, Chen Ryan Associates was recognized by our peers at the American Planning Association's San Diego Chapter's as the Emerging Planning and Design Firm of the Year for 2017. Our Project Manager, Brian Gaze, AICP, brings over a dozen years of active transportation and transit planning experience to this project. In addition to his project management experience, his background as a former Director at the regional non-profit Circulate San Diego gives him a unique perspective on how to best engage school districts, community members, and the public at large, and how to get complex and at times controversial plans adopted and implemented. Brian will be supported by in-house, exclusively Southern California-based, traffic and civil engineers who specialize in evaluating the feasibility of and designing active transportation projects, including roundabouts, cycle tracks, protected intersections, and buffered bike lanes. Chen Ryan Associates is joined on this project by nationally-recognized professionals of PlaceWorks,who will bring their community outreach expertise,experience with WRCOG and RTA,and their industry-leading conceptual design and visual communication experience. In addition, key proposed PlaceWorks staff can supplement their private-sector experience with relevant public-sector work, having led the development of Design Guidelines for the Cities of Glendale and Los Angeles. Our qualifications will show that we have successfully addressed similar issues in other jurisdictions. In fact, we are often brought in to solve complex problems where others have failed, or to enhance the single-mode-focused recommendations of our competitors with an honest quantification of the impacts and benefits for all modes. Please contact me at (619) 795-6086 if you have any questions related to this proposal.
