RFP-SBP-RO-16-017 - Main Street Road Diet Pilot Project

Summary of Specifications:
The City of Royal Oak desires to engage an engineering and/or planning firm with suitable expertise regarding non-motorized infrastructure to design and install a temporary road diet along Main Street with dedicated bike lanes on each side of the street. This temporary project is intended to demonstrate whether Main Street can properly function after a road diet is installed, or if there are negative impacts such as increased automobile congestion that outweigh its benefits. If successful, the temporary infrastructure and lane markings will be made permanent or even extended further. If unsuccessful, then the temporary measures will be removed and the former traffic pattern re-established.
