' r <br /> In December 1996, City staff issued a public notice requesting proposals from area ' <br /> engineering firms to investigate the feasibility of providing a pedestrian crossing at the existing ' <br /> at-grade railroad crossing in the 800 block of East Marietta Street. Three firms responded to the I, <br /> City's request with written proposals. These proposals were reviewed by a staff committee <br /> consisting of the Traffc Engineer, the Transportation Planner, and the Civil Engineer. Each <br /> proposal was reviewed to determine the relevant background and e�erience of each firm and the <br /> firm's recommended approach to the proposed task. VWP Corporation was selected based upon <br /> their wide range of experience with pedestrian crossings, the Illinois Commerce Commission, and <br /> the various railroad entities. WVP has proposed, what stafffeels to be, a very effective approach <br /> to investigating the feasibility of a pedestrian crossing at this location. They have demonstrated <br /> that they have the staffing and experience to provide the City with a good product. <br /> City staff will be available to answer any questions the Council may have. <br /> attach: 2 <br />
