This project expects to provide a comprehensive system of safe pedestrian routes throughout the city which will encourage pedestrians, including those with handicaps, to cross city streets at signalized intersections. The second priority is to install pedestrian signal heads with countdown timers at intersections adjacent to educational institutions as well as freeways where pedestrian bridges are not present. Improving the City of Lubbock's older infrastructure to meet accepted standards will increase pedestrian safety and convenience, especially for handicapped individuals. Many intersections in the city were constructed decades ago without pedestrian safety and convenience as a top priority. This project will rectify this situation providing safe methods for pedestrians crossing major streets. Countdown pedestrian signals will encourage safe pedestrian movement near educational institutions where the highest pedestrian activity occurs. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED DIRECTIONAL MAPS, SITE MAPS, GENERAL FLOOR PLANS AND PHOTOGRAPHS - LABEL AS'PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION - ATTACHMENT A' (NO MORE THAN 90 PIECES) 2of8 V, PROJECT USE AND BENEFITS A. Describe how the project will complement the movement of people and goods of the surfmce transportation system: (ZA"N d to 800 chmactem The safe movement of pedestrians, including those with disabilities, throughout the city ensures that each individual can maximize his or her mobility. Pedestrian signal heads with countdown displays around educational institutions will allow students to cross busy streets with increased safety. These safety improvements have the potential to increase pedestrian activity around schools and universities thereby decreasing congestion on the city's busiest streets. B. Describe the activities and benefits OW the project provides under the category which it qualifies: (Llmrted to coo chmsCters The project ensures that all citizens have safe and efficient pedestrian access to all parts of the city. The project's primary objective of providing pedestrian activated signals in every directions at each signalized intersection benefits not only the pedestrians crossing the street, but also motorists driving on the streets by reducing confusion and minimizing conflict. Accessibility ramps will ensure equal access to these facilities by individuals with handicaps. C. Describe how the project will improve social, economic and environmental aspects of the area, region or state: (Llmrted to 600 Cherla* , Safe pedestrian access improves the mobility of citizens who do not have the means for a private automobile or public transportation. This pedestrian access has the potential to stimulate the economy by allowing more citizens to gain entry to places of employment, shopping and medical treatment. In turn, this increased economic activity can improve the quality of life for individuals whose livelihood depends on pedestrian routes. Reducing pedestrian conflicts with vehicles has the potential to prevent accidents thereby protecting the environment from spills as well as undue stops and accelerations by vehicles seeking to avoid hitting pedestrians- D. Tell us who will benefit from the project and how. (Lkn sd to 80o Chmadera Every mobile citizen within the City of Lubbock has the potential to benefit from the project. Not only does the project improve pedestrian movement throughout the city, but it also benefits motorists by minimizing pedestrian conflict and driver confusion. 3 of 8 Vl.

The C]ty's Pedestrian Safety Improvement project dearly demonstrates that It falls within a qualifying program category and meets all eligibility criteria. In short, the goal of improving the City's older Infrastructure to meet accepted safety standards will Increase pedestrian safety and convenience, especially for handicapped Individuals. To meet this goal, the Cary will retrofit all signalized intersections with push button signal heads and ramps where they do not already exist, thereby providing a comprehensive system of safe pedestrian routes throughout the aty for all pedesbians to use regardless of mobility status. An especially unique feature of the project will be the countdown displays at all school crossings to allow students ba cross busy Intersections with an added degree of safety and convenience not only to the pedestrian crossing aspect but also to the motoring public as well. I trust you will agree that the Caty's Pedestrian Safety Improvement program meets all the Enhancement program requirements and Is a candidate for award.
