Scope of Work The Town is seeking $100,000 to plan and design our first Town of Century Complete Streets Master plan which will implement improvements such as paving dirt roads, repairing potholes, adding ADA-compliant sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, bus shelters, and traffic calming measures. These enhancements will improve connectivity to key destinations like schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial areas, fostering safer travel for all. The Town of Century currently lacks ai formal transportation master plan to guide infrastructure improvements. With no existing framework, the town's transportation network suffers from unpaved roads, severe potholes, inadequate drainage, and al lack of ADA-compliant sidewalks and pedestrian infrastructure. These conditions create safety hazards, limit accessibility for individuals with disabilities, and hinder economic development. The purpose of our project is to develop a comprehensive Complete Streets Master Plani that will serve as al blueprint for designing and planning a safe, multimodal, and equitable transportation network for all users. Desired Outcome: The outcome of this project is a detailed master plan that addresses safety, accessibility, and economic development while guiding infrastructure improvements for years to come. Specifically: 1. Enhanced Safety: The plan willi identify areas for ADA-compliant sidewalks, lighting, 2. Improved Accessibility: It will prioritize connectivity to key destinations such as schools, healthcare facilities, recreational sites, commercial areas, to ensure safe travel 3. Economic Revitalization: By paving the way for infrastructure upgrades, the plan will improve access to local businesses, attract investment, and support sustainable growth. 4. Comprehensive Planning: This initiative will establish al long-term strategy for modernizing Century's transportation network, addressing current issues while and crosswalks to reduce pedestrian and vehicular accidents. for all users, including those with disabilities. anticipating future needs. 1 41of53 Supporting Documents Town of Century Objective: Define and prioritize transportation needs based on data and community input. Based on census data, over 31% of Century's residents live below the poverty line, and 12% of households lack access to personal vehicles. This underscores the need for ADA-compliant sidewalks, bike lanes, and accessible transit options. The needs assessment will evaluate how infrastructure gaps disproportionately impact underserved populations, including children and Needs Assessment Objective: Define transportation needs based on data analysis and public seniors, andi identify key areas fori intervention. input. 3.1 D Existing Conditions Report: Summarize data and field findings, highlighting high- priority areas fori improvement, such as school zones and public spaces. Deliverables: Existing conditions report with maps and visuals. 3.27 Transportation Gaps Analysis: Evaluate deficiencies in pedestrian, bike, and transit infrastructure, especially along major routes like US 29 and SR 4. Highlight areas with high crash rates or safety risks. Deliverables: Gaps analysis report Task 4: Development of Potential Projects Objective: Create actionable projects that address the town's transportation challenges. Using the data and input collected, the planning team will develop concept designs for projects such as ADA-compliant sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes, pedestrian crosswalks, bus shelters, and lighting improvements. These concepts will align with the 2023 Escambia County Pedestrian, Bicycle & Trail Master Plan and prioritize safe crossings along U.S. Highway 29 and the CSX railway. Each project willi include cost estimates, timelines, and an assessment of Development of Potential Projects Objective: Generate actionable project concepts to potential funding sources. address identified needs. 4.1 Concept Designs: Create preliminary designs for ADA-compliant sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, lighting, and bus shelters, aligning with the 2023 Escambia County 4.2 Project Prioritization: Rank projects based on safety, cost, feasibility, and Master Plan. community input.

Typical Section sheets also provide the traffic data and pavement design associated with the typical section being displayed. The typical section design files used to create the Typical Section Package (see FDM 120) should be used to prepare the Typical Section sheets. For illustrations of various typical sections, see Exhibits 913-1 through 913-13. 913.2 Typical Sections Typical sections must cover the entire project limits; i.e., omit only Project Exceptions. Include the limits of typical section transitions with the typical section that begins the transition.
