Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) pavement renewals. River Road to St. Mary’s Road rehabilitation. St. Mary’s Road to Dakota Street mill & fill. Dakota Street to St. Anne’s Road rehabilitation. TIMELINE: An RFP for Engineering services has been issued by the owner. The funds available for this Contract are $700,000. The Project consists of Regional Street Renewals on Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah). The location limits, planned treatment, assumed number of construction working days, and estimated budget for each project location are as follows: D4.1 The Consultant shall consider the following additional scoping information: (a) Feeder main under St. Mary's Road, aqueduct and feeder main under Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) right-of-way. Coordinate with Water & Waste department as required. (b) Coordinate with Bridges Branch for all overhead sign structure locations and pedestrian underpass. (c) Coordinate with Traffic Signals Branch for all affected traffic signal locations. (d) Bus stops on Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) to be constructed for 60ft articulated buses. Assume minimal disruption to transfers at St. Mary's Avenue and Dakota Street during construction. Coordinate with Transit as required. (e) Consider the following design elements and coordinate with Transportation Division as required: (i) Shoulders to be paved, 3.0m wide adjacent to through lanes; (ii) Remove curb and gutter adjacent to through lanes at various locations; (iii) Upgrade all locations with multi-use path (MUP) crossings. Consultant to work with Transportation to determine design for all MUP crossings at signalized intersections. Consider smart channels. (i) Conduct an In-Service Road Safety Review (ISRSR) of existing conditions within the Roadway Improvements Study area to inform the functional and preliminary design. (iv) The inside east bound left at Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) and St. Mary's Avenue could be increased approximately 100m. The inside west bound left could be increased approximately 60m. (v) Ensure that all bus bay turn-ins meet best practice design. (vi) Side mounted advance sign for St Mary's Rd is in the bus bay, this causes confusion and vehicles turning into bus bay thinking it leads to St Mary's. Relocate the sign to after the bus bay/bridge. (vii) East bound overhead sign structure and associated roadside safety equipment at Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) and St. Mary's Avenue should be relocated further back (location to be coordinated with traffic management) and changed to overhead guide signs for east bound left (white text on green background). (viii) West bound left at Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) requires overhead sign structure. Overhead sign structure and associated roadside safety equipment should be relocated further back (location to be coordinated with traffic management). West bound left signs should be changed to guide signs (white text on green background). (ix) Formalize east bound at right-in/right-out mall entrance to be three lanes and adjust right-in/right-out island geometry and pavement markings to suit. (x) The inside east bound left at Bishop Grandin Boulevard (Abinojii Mikanah) and St. Anne's Road could be increased approximately 50m. Consider feasibility of changing east bound right to smart channel. T-Drawing available for Smart Channel upon request if required. East bound left signs on sign structure to be changed to guide signs rather than regulatory signs. (xi) Coordinate with any recommendations from inner ring road study if available.
