GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The City of Alhambra is soliciting proposals to provide design engineering services for Alhambra
Citywide Priority Pedestrian Improvements Project.
This project was identified and awarded LACMTA Measure R funding through the SR-710 Mobility
Improvement Projects (MIPs), which were established by reallocating funds from the SR-710 North
Project to citywide mobility improvements. The project advances the goals of the SR-710 Gap Closure
Project by implementing the pedestrian priority zones recommendations outlined in the City’s Walk,
Bike, Move Alhambra! Active Transportation Plan (adopted in March 2024).
The improvements in this Request of Proposals are consistent with the pedestrian priority zones
recommendations in the City’s Active Transportation Plan, help inform design feasibility and
specifications, and position the City for the next phase of construction. Ultimately, these enhancements
will strengthen multimodal connectivity, make alternative transportation options more practical and
appealing, reduce collisions, encourage walking, and promote a healthier community.
