The program's goal is to develop educa- tional, engineering and enforcement tools with which to help provide safe trips for elementary and middle schools students on their way to and from school. The program will develop a documented process so that those immedi- ately involved with the program (traffic engineering staff, police, school administration staff, teachers and parents) all understand the procedures and their respective roles in the process. Twin Peaks Elementary School has been chosen as a pilot school for the program. We will soon be meeting with the school's administration and their School Resource Police Officer to`initiate the program.. Traffic Signal Studv at the Cortaro Farms Road-Cerius Stravenue Intersection A traffic signal study at this intersection will Include turning movement counts, accident data research, observations of the traffic operations, .and a sketch of existing conditions. A study conducted at this location in May 2002 showed that a traffic signal was not warranted at that time. The new traffic signal study will indicate whether the traffic conditions at this intersection ,currently require signaliza- tion. • Sneed Zone Studies on Ina Road and Thornvdale Road These studies will determine whether the regulatory speed limits currently posted on these roadways are appropria#e based on the existing traffic conditions. The speed zone studies will consider the Current traffic volumes on these streets, the prevailing vehicular speeds, the accident his- tory on both roads, and the existing access management conditions on the roads. Compliance Studies at Railroad Crossings Compliance studies are being conducted at the Union Pacific Railroad crossings on Ina Road and Cortaro Farms Road. These studies are to determine how many motorists are stopping their vehicles on or too close to the tracks. "Before" studies will be conducted while electronic variable message boards are posted advising motorists not to stop on the tracks. "After" studies will be performed fallowing the removal of the variable message boards to see whether the boards themselves served as deterrents. The long-term intent of these studies is to develop strategies to reduce the number of motorists stopping on the tracks. ,~ Traffic Signal at Silverbell Road Wade Road Intersec- tion A traffic signal study conducted at the Silverbell Road- Wade Road intersection found #hat the .installation of a traffic signal is warranted at that location. A scope of work is currently being prepared for the design of the signal. It is expected that the signal .will be designed during this fiscal year and will be constructed next fiscal year. The signalization .should make this a much safer intersection for motorists exiting Wade Road, pedestrians crossing Silverbell Road as well as emergency vehicles entering the intersection from the Northwest Fire/Rescue District's station on Wade Road. Warning Beacons at the Avra Valley Road- Sandario Road Intersection A traffic signal warrant study was conducted at the Avra Valley Road~andario Road intersection. The results of the study found that a traffic signal is not recommended at the intersection at this time. However, in order to enhance the safety at this location, flashing waming beacons will be installed on the Side Road waming signs currently posted on the Avra Valley Road approaches to the intersection. It is expected that the waming beacons will help greatly to better alert motorists about the approaching intersection. At #his time the required beacon assemblies have been purchased and the project is under design. Traffic Signal at the Tangerine Road-Thornvdale Road Intersection Based on the results of a traffic signal warrant study performed at the Tangerine Road-Thomydale Road intersection, it has been decided to pursue the incorpora- tion of signalization in the Tangerine Road(fhornydale Road Intersection Improvement Project, scheduled to begin construction in summer/fall 2003. The Traffic Divi- sion has recently reviewed and commented on the 100% signal design plans. Kimfey-Hom and Associates have prepared the signal phasing and timing plans. Along with the widening improvements planned at this location, the signalization should make this a much safer and efficient intersection. • ::r: Page ?

Status: The Army Corps of Engineers is currently evaluating each of our nine alternatives for feasibility with regards to flooding. The water needs and costs for each alternative are alsobeing evaluated. The F4 conference to meet with the Technical Team at the Army Corps of Engineers has been move back to November 19"'. The Town of Marana has submit- ted its final cash payment to the Corps for its portion of the sponsor contribution. Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area 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 archaeo- logical sites; to educate the public about the history and cultures of this region; to increase national rec- ognition of the region; to develop heritage tourism and bring other economic benefits to local communi- ties; and to improve cultural ties across the U.S.- Mexico border. Status: A Resolution for this designation ahs been drafted and is expected to go to council on October 21, 2003. Arizona Pollution Discharge Elimination System This project was initiated by a federal mandate in which Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) was given primacy. Six minimum control measures have been defined for compliance. The minimum con- trol measures are as follows: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvementand Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control 5. Control of Post-construction Site Runoff 6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Status: The Town of Marana has actively been working with .PAG to get public involvement on a regional level. PAG is working with local jurisdiction on the develop- ment of an Outreach Connection web site. This site is being developed to enable water educators in the Tuc- son region to share information about their outreach and education efforts. Pima Association of Govern- men#s (PAG) and the University of Arizona's Sustain- ability of semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas (SAHRA) are working jointly on this effort. SAHRA has agreed to develop the web site, to host it on their site, and to provide technical support for the site. Each of the participants will update their information on a regu- lar basis, so that the website stays current and use- able. PAG would coordinate the website users so that the site is maintained and so that new users are in- formed about the site. This website will focus on water resources and water quality outreach and education. Town of Marana has started a library'of documents, books, and handouts for information on the stormwater issues. Staff has received storm drain markers for drain inlets in the community that read "Only. Rain. in the Drain". The Town of Marana has also begun evaluating the process to use for gathering the data and mapping the storm sewer system. A scope of work has been Bevel- oped for this task, but not yet finalized. • :"±~ Page 8 PUBLIC WORKS O~tob~ 2003 Public Work Art Project Committee The Public Art Project.Committee met on October 1, 2003.
