Phase II construction plans have been advertised in May, bid opening expected in early June, 2005, ,- m :~~-~ ,_~iI TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION ~ AS-NEEDED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING I SERVICES: ! SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM The Traffic Engineering Division is in the proc- ess of finalizing the Town of Marana's Safe Routes to School Pilot Program at Twin Peaks Elementary School. The Town of Marana's Safe Routes to School Programs' goal is to develop educational, engineering and enforcement tools with which to help provide safe trips for elementary and middle school students on their way to and from school. Via the Pilot Program at Twin Peaks a docu- mented process was developed so that those immediately involved with the program (Department of Public Works' Traffic Engineer- ing Staff, police. school administration, teach- ers and parents) all understand the procedures and their respective roles in the process. Town Staffwi1l continue to work with the Safe Routes to School Com- mittee for Twin Peaks to implement a safe routes plan and an educational campaign for the schooL The Committee includes the school's Principal, the school's Police Re- source Officer, the Marana Unified School District's Director of Operations, and Scott Leska of the Department of Public Works Staff, In order to augment our traffic engineering ca- pabilities, the Division is currently reviewing Statement of Qualifications packages from ten different consulting firms who are interested in periarming traffic engineering services for the Town_ We will award As-needed Technical . Services Contracts, renewable annually, to up I to five of the consultants who are found most qualified to assist the Town with such services , as traffic signal plan design, travel demand modeling, preparation or review of traffic impact I analyses, and traffic signal construction admini- stration and inspection. Once the Technical Services contracts are awarded and a List of Consultants is developed, we will issue Task Order Authorizations as services are required. It is expected that the assistance provided by ! the consultants on the List will greatly expand m ' our capacity to provide timely and professional ~ traffic engineering services to our customers. I · -ALL-WAY STOP CONTROL AT;:HE"' """ TRAFFIC SIGNAL a!TANGERINE ROADIDOVE SANDARIO ROAD/TWIN PEAKS MOUNTAIN BLVD, INTERSECTION INTERSECTION: The results of a traffic study found that the installation of an all-way stop , control is warranted at the Sandario RoadJTwin : Peaks Road intersection. It is anticipated that the installation of the required traffic signs and pavement markings to establish the all-way stop will be completed in early June 2005. In order to properly advise motorists about the upcoming traffic control change at this location, advance notice signs have been installed on aU legs of the intersection. We expect that the overall traffic safety at the Sandario RoadfTwin Peaks Road intersection will be greatly improved by the installation of the all-way stop control. . () 4) The Town is working together with a Dove Mountain developer to have a ,.; traffic signal installed at the Tangerine Road! Dove Mountain Blvd. intersection.

This Project is currently on hold due to staff workloads i SANTA CRUZ VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE i~ I The vision of a National Heritage Area designation for the Santa Cruz Valley in Southern Arizona IS gaining momentum due to a convergence of local efforts to conserve natural resources and open spaces; to preserve historic structures and archaeological sites; to educate the public about the history and cultures of this region; to increase national recognition of the region; tq develop heritage tourism and bring other economic benefits to local : communities: and to improve cultural ties across the i U.S.-Mexico border. : STATUS: The Town of Marana showed support of the application and designation of the Santa Cruz : Valley Heritage Area by passing Resolution No. 2003-133 at the Town Council Meeting on October 21, 2003. Preservation and development is ongoing. . . .u. '." . . .U:. '." ARIZONA POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM: This project was initiated by a federal mandate in which Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) was given primacy. STATUS: The Stormwater Artwork contest ended with 62 entrees. Prizes were awarded on 18 May, 2005. Look for a calendar next fal1. Public Outreach at Public Works Day: Water bottles, puzzles, litterbags, pencils and brochures for the Town's Stormwater program were distributed to over 200 people. HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANNING: The Town of Marana's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) considers six species in total. There are specific strategies for four of these species. These four species include the Tucson Shovel-Nose Snake, the Ground Snake, the Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, and the Burrowing Owl. The conservation measures used in the strategies for these four species also acted as conservation measures for two additional species, the Lesser Long-Nosed Bat and Pale Townsend's Big-eared Bat. STATUS: The Arizona Game and Fish Department has processed the Town of Marana's application for the "year 3" Hep grant. The Town will be notified of the grant status once the evaluation has taken place. The Town is also working on the revisions to the "year 2" grant with the Arizona Game and Fish Department. . . -it:. '.. TITLE 16-EFFLUENT RE-USE PLANNING: The Title 16 process began several years ago as a regional effluent re-use planning effort, which was initially coordinated by the Tucson Regional Water Council. Title 16 is a funding mechanism available through the Bureau of Reclamation that offers 50% Federal matching funds for planning and 25% Federal matching funds for construction of water infrastructure projects that meet the programs criteria. STATUS: This Project will take much of the agriculture on the south side of the river off groundwater, protect water quality in our aquifers, and provide a reliable, low-cost water supply for the agricultural economy. We will also have the backbone of a non-potable supply system on the south side of the Santa Cruz, which will be able to supply turf and exterior use if that area urbanizes in the future. We are currently working with the Bureau of Reclamation on providing water consumption estimates for parks and turf areas along the pipeline. ---""'_'" . i~r.f!I--.._...- ,,~ '."-~jt ~.. ,\.{, " .' ,:,:_,' ,-,,',"(' I ~f81~. }rl~_1IIII ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING DIVISION (continued) ENVIRONMENTAL OVERLAY DISTRICT: The Environmental Division is currently working with other departments to develop an overlay that will protect the riparian corridors through the Tortolita Fan area.

YUMA MINE WASH: The Yuma Wash site was once a large settlement of the Hohokam Indians inhabited from as early as A.D. 750 to as late as 1450.01d Pueblo's excavations indicate there are over 100 partly underground pit houses present, as well as pueblo-like homes and thousands of prehistoric stone, bone, pottery, and seashell artifacts. Some of the site's archaeological features suggest that Puebloan people from northern or eastern Arizona lived there with the Hohokam. Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers guided tours of its archaeological excavations at the Yuma Wash Hohokam Indian ruin in the planned Marana District Park alongside Silverbell Road about 1/2 mile north of lna Road. Tours of the Yuma Wash ruin have ended for the season and will begin again in the fall. Old Pueblo will be offering opportunities for members of the public to actually participate in the archaeological excavations at the Yuma Wash site beginning again in the Fall of 2005. Old Pueblo Archaeology center is a non-profit organization in partnership with the Town of Marana.
