Transportation Enhancements & ADA Improvements for Dapplegray School at Palos Verdes Drive North

Palos Verdes Drive North is a primary roadway providing access to the cities on the peninsula including Rolling Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates and Rolling Hills Estates. The proposed project will widen an approximate 1,015’ segment of the roadway east and west of London Lane, along the frontage of the Dapplegray Elementary School campus in order to enhance traffic flow and to improve the intersection’s accessibility (ADA access). Widening will include two additional through lanes - one eastbound and one westbound lane. The project will also include these features: • Replacing 8-inch traffic signal heads with 12-inch heads; • Replacing a temporary signal pole with a custom steel pole according to city specifications; • Adding illuminated street name signs; • Upgrading ADA access ramps; • Removing and replacing two bus shelters according to city specifications; • Constructing six cast-in-place earth-colored concrete retaining walls of various heights; • Removing +/- 39 non-native trees to accommodate widening, new medians, and retaining wall construction; • Re-aligning a segment of the bridle trail after retaining walls are constructed; • Constructing and planting a new raised median with trees, bunchgrasses and groundcover; and • Other improvements.
