The existing conditions analysis performed a deep technical evaluation of: • Collision history within the corridor and collision factors • Land use context • Areas of pedestrian activity or higher visitors throughout the day and their peak times, such as Mi Rancho Market, Key Market, and Red Morton Community Center • Traffic characteristics (volume, speed, traffic control, etc.) The existing conditions analysis is supported by multi -modal traffic counts on different segments and at intersections along the corridor. Community Engagement Stage 1 (May—June 20191 In May and June 2019, staff conducted the first round of community engagement to get feedback from the community on their current challenges when using Roosevelt Avenue as a pedestrian, bicyclist, driver, or transit user and on improvement opportunities.
