BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the Supervisor and Clerk to enter into an Agreement with Stantec Consulting for engineering services for two mid-block crossings at (1) Addington Lane and (2) Lohr Road for a cost not to exceed $37,500.00, subject to Township Attorney approval
BACKGROUND:
Having set the regional standard on non-motorized connectivity within a suburban landscape, Pittsfield Township is continually responding to the needs of our community to improve upon our multimodal transportation network. To that end, we have identified the following projects:

1. Midblock crossing at Lohr Road: This is being suggested to provide for safe north-south movement of bike and pedestrian traffic, which is significant and projected to increase in the future with connectivity between residential and retail. The project’s engineering cost (not to exceed $17,500) will be funded through the General Fund.

2. Midblock crossing at Addington Lane and Stone School Road: A pedestrian crossing is proposed at Addington Lane on Stone School Road to allow for safer movement of the pedestrian traffic flowing East/West from residential areas to the Stone School Greenway and further north to Ellsworth. The project’s engineering cost (not to exceed $20,000) will be funded through the General Fund.
