The City of Estacada is requesting quotes from experienced and qualified consulting firms to develop a comprehensive Pedestrian and School Zone Safety Action Plan. This plan is a critical component of the City’s effort to improve transportation safety, address infrastructure gaps, and support the mobility needs of vulnerable populations including students, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. The selected consultant will be responsible for conducting site assessments, facilitating community engagement, analyzing safety data, and preparing a final Safety Action Plan that is grant-ready for submission to programs such as ODOT’s Safe Routes to School (SR2S).
