BCDCOG is seeking proposals for an online platform or design software that will allow BCDCOG staff and agency partners to illustrate recommended safety countermeasures along high-risk corridors and at high-risk intersections identified in BCDCOG’s regional safety action plan. A secondary use of the tool will be to the support of broader agency-wide outreach efforts to partner agencies and the general public to help make safety-focused decisions about multimodal street network design alternatives. The selected platform or design software must be able to: • Ingest or incorporate data layers, such as information on lane configurations and lane widths; • Illustrate common safety countermeasures and multimodal street features, such as sidewalks, pathways, bikeways, medians, and curb extensions; • Illustrate if recommended safety countermeasures fit within the constraints of available right of way; • Illustrate how an individual corridor or intersection relates to the surrounding street network; and • Share design alternatives with stakeholders to collect feedback through annotation or commenting features. In addition, it is preferable if the selected platform is able to ingest or incorporate data layers, such as transit routes, turning movement counts, historic crashes, and motor vehicle speeds.
