1.1 MetroCOG staff will update MetroCOG’s Regional Safety Action Plan, which includes the High Injury Network (HIN) and Crash Hot Spot Locations. Consultant to conduct a review of the Regional Safety Action Plan Update and recommend potential improvements. 1.2 Upon update of the Regional Safety Action Plan/Crash Hot Spot Locations, conduct a Systemic Safety Analysis at Crash Hot Spot Locations/ HIN Corridors to discern crash trends, risk factors, and a networking screening. 1.3 Safety Countermeasure Suitability Analysis: After the Systemic Safety Analysis of the HIN Corridors/Crash Hot Spot Locations is complete, develop a Countermeasure Suitability Analysis Toolkit. The Countermeasure Suitability Analysis Toolkit should be based on the results of the Systemic Safety Analysis to recommend potential safety measures for crash reduction. At a minimum, the toolkit should include a description and itemized cost estimate of each safety measure. The toolkit should consider all applicable project types and materials, including those identified within CTDOT’s Quick Build Complete Streets Demonstration Project Directive and incorporate innovative best practices. 1.4 Work with MetroCOG, municipalities, and CTDOT to prioritize a minimum of 15 Crash Hot Spot Locations & identify the most suitable and cost-effective safety countermeasures at each location. Location priority should utilize the safety analysis and consideration from municipal/state stakeholders. Identify a minimum of 4 locations that are most suitable for the implementation of prescribed countermeasures from the Toolkit for demonstration project installations. Provide conceptual designs and cost estimates of identified safety countermeasures for the minimum of 15 prioritized Crash Hot Spot Locations identified and prioritized. Provide conceptual designs and cost estimates of identified demonstration project installations for the minimum of 4 prioritized demonstration project locations. Present concepts to MetroCOG, MetroCOG committees, member municipalities, and CTDOT. 1.5 After locations and concepts for demonstration projects are selected, advance those concepts to Preliminary Design of Demonstration Projects (including identification of equipment/materials, quantity of materials needed, etc.)
