Introduction 1.1 STUDY PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to prepare an updated Strategic Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation. The LRTP recommends transportation improvements for five-, 10-, and 20-year periods, incorporating both roadway and multimodal needs. Areas of key focus for the LRTP include road maintenance, safety programs, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit systems. The LRTP also identifies updates to the Tribal Transportation Inventory and functional classification systems to assist in expanding the level and types of funding available for transportation projects. 1.2 STUDY OBJECTIVES The study objective is to develop a LRTP with strong road maintenance, safety, transit, multimodal, and corridor operations elements resulting in a program of transportation projects for five-, 10-, and 20-year planning horizons. 1.3 STUDY AREA The Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Reservation spans the Colorado River and encompasses nearly 30,000 acres in Arizona (La Paz County) and California (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties). The CRIT Reservation was established March 3, 1865 for the “Indians of said river and its tributaries.” The Indigenous people were the agricultural Mohaves and the Chemehuevis. In 1945, a portion of the reservation was reserved for colonization by Indians of other tribes, specifically the Hopis and Navajos. Entry Monument at the Tribal Headquarters of the Colorado River Indian Tribes The Reservation area is shown in Figure 1. 1 Figure 1 – Study Area Map 2 1.4 ORGANIZATION OF WORKING PAPER 2 Working Paper 2 (this working paper) develops a prioritized plan of transportation improvement projects. The findings of Working Papers 1 and 2 will be summarized into a Final Report, which will be the LRTP presented for approval to the CRIT Tribal Council. This Working Paper is organized into the following chapters: Chapter 1, Introduction – This chapter describes the study purpose and working paper organization. Chapter 2, Transportation Needs – This chapter summarizes transportation needs that will be addressed through the recommended projects. Transportation needs were defined in detail in Working Paper 1. Chapter 3, Recommended Projects – This chapter describes recommended projects, by category, and planning level costs. Chapter 4, Project Prioritization and Plan of Improvements – This chapter describes project prioritization into short, mid- , and long range time frames and presents the plan of projects within each of these time frames. Chapter 5, Funding Sources for Transportation Projects – This chapter summarizes potential funding sources for different categories of projects. Chapter 6, Other Recommendations – This chapter describes recommendations for additions to the Tribal Transportation Inventory and Functional Classification Updates. 3 2. Transportation Needs This chapter provides an overview of multi-modal transportation needs. The needs analysis was developed through a process which considered: § § § § § 2.1 Stakeholder, Technical Advisory Committee, and general public input Traffic analysis Crash data assessment Field review of road conditions and pavement conditions CRIT Road Safety Assessment (RSA) findings ROADWAY NEEDS Key roadway related needs include: 1. Repaving existing paved roads – a field assessment of road conditions was conducted in July 2013 to assess pavement conditions on key roads in the CRIT community. These data were used to develop paving needs. 2. Paving gravel/unpaved roads – needs were identified based on input from the CRIT Tribal Planner and stakeholders. 3. Traffic control - needs were identified through findings of the 2013 CRIT Road Safety Assessment and discussions with the CRIT Police Department and BIA Maintenance staff. 4. Culvert/canal crossings and bridge improvement needs – needs were identified based on field reviews, BIA bridge ratings, and the 2013 CRIT Road Safety Assessment findings. 5. Intersection improvements – Needs were identified through stakeholder interviews, 2013 CRIT Road Safety Assessment findings, and crash analysis. 6. Safety projects - identified through visual inspection, stakeholder input, and input from the CRIT Tribal Planner. a. b. c. d. e. f. Safety–focused education campaign Future CRIT Road Safety Assessment (RSA) locations Crash reporting procedures Signing and striping projects Canal safety improvements Street lighting Roadway needs for paving dirt/gravel roads, repaving existing paved roads, shoulder improvement needs, and canal crossing needs are summarized graphically in Figure 2. Intersection improvement needs are summarized in Figure 3. 4 Figure 2 – Road Improvement Needs 5 Figure 3 – Intersection Improvement Needs 6 2.2 PEDESTRIAN NEEDS Sidewalks and paths are limited on the CRIT Reservation. Sidewalks provide many benefits including safety, mobility, and healthier communities. Sidewalks encourage walking, which is an excellent moderate exercise. Sidewalks also increase safety for pedestrians – according to a Federal Highway Administration report, roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrian crashes as sites with sidewalks on both sides of the street1 Pedestrian needs are shown graphically in Figure 4 and include: Sidewalk Needs - Developing a system of sidewalk connections to and from homes to activity centers such as the Tribal Headquarters, health care facilities, and schools were important considerations in developing projects. Providing connections to link to the sidewalk system within the Town of Parker to Tribal roads was another consideration. Pedestrian Crosswalks and Crossing Devices – Additional crossing opportunities on Riverside Drive (specifically at Eagle Avenue and Chemehuevi Avenue) and on California Avenue at 12th Street are needed. It should be noted that these are not Tribal roads, and are needs for consideration by the Town of Parker. A finding of a CRIT RSA conducted in early 2013 was that pedestrian crossing warning signs are needed on Mohave Road at the approach to Poston Road. In addition, the RSA recommended new pavement markings, sidewalks, curb and gutter along the intersection legs, and upgraded street lighting. Multiuse Paths - Trails are a need on the Reservation. 2.3 AVIATION ACCESS NEEDS The following transportation needs related to airport access were identified in the Avi Suquilla Airport Master Plan Update (2013) and discussions with the Avi Suquilla Airport Manager: § § § § § § § Drainage improvements and fire-water line construction, and repaving on Airport Road. Additional airport identification signage. All-weather perimeter road around the airport. Signage upgrades and improvements to aircraft storage area. Parking lot construction. Paving improvements to runways, apron areas, perimeter road over time. Van to serve airport passengers, or coordination with a future transit system, perhaps on a demand-responsive basis. 1 FHWA Investigation of Exposure-Based Pedestrian Accident Areas: Crosswalks, Sidewalks, Local Streets, and Major Arterials. Publication No. FHWA/RD87-038, FHWA, Washington, D.C., 1987. 7 Figure 4 – Pedestrian Improvement Needs 8 2.4 TRANSIT NEEDS Transit needs identified were: 1. A phased implementation of a fixed route transit system. a. Focused on the Tribal community near the Parker area. b. Point to point fixed route to outlying concentrations of tribal activity. 2. Phased implementation of demand-responsive service for rural communities. a. Prioritization of rural focus areas by tribal leaders. b. Reservation-wide services. Under a separate Federal Transit Administration Section 5311(c) Tribal Transit Planning Grant, an implementation plan for a start-up transit system will be developed. 2.5 OTHER TRANSPORTATION RELATED NEEDS Other transportation-related needs that were identified include: § § § § Tribal Transportation Inventory Updates Functional Classification Updates Parking lot paving needs for community facilities, such as: o Poston Fire Station parking lot o Mo-Chem-Ho-Na Senior Center o Ahakhav Preserve parking areas o Tribal-related businesses and department office parking lots Roadside vegetation control 9 2.6 PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE INPUT 2.6.1 PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE 1 A public open house was held at the BlueWater Resort and Conference Center in Parker, Arizona on Thursday, September 19, 2013 from 6-8 p.m. The open house was scheduled to coincide with the CRIT monthly Community Awareness Night event to boost attendance. Community members were able to review display boards explaining the study, ask questions, and provide their input on transportation issues and needs in the community. A survey was provided for members to complete at the open house. Over 30 members of the community signed in at the open house though total attendance was closer to 50-75 people. A key objective of the open house was to obtain information on where people live and where they travel to in order to help design a future transit system. This was accomplished by providing a board where persons could place a colored dot where they live, and another color dot to show where they travel to. The following locations were identified as origins and destinations on the display board. Origins Parker Area § § § 15th Street, near Ocotillo Avenue Reata Avenue, north of 15th Street (2 responses) 16th Street, near Ocotillo Avenue § § Middle Street (100 Homes) (3 responses) Mohave Road, near Navajo Avenue Between Parker and Poston § § § § Laffoon Road, near 3rd Avenue 2nd Avenue, north of Booth Road 3rd Avenue, north of Booth Road Little Road (Mo-Chem neighborhood) (2 responses) § § § 9th Avenue, north of Agnes Wilson Road 7th Avenue, south of Agnes Wilson Road Scott Road, west of Mohave Road South of Poston § § McCabe Road, east of Mohave Road 10th Avenue, north of Peterson Road § Parker Area Moovalya Plaza (3 responses) Wal-Mart BlueWater Casino (2 responses) § § § Mitchell Road, east of 14th Avenue Navajo Road, east of 21st Avenue Destinations § § § § § 10 Blake Elementary School Parker Indian Medical Center (2 responses) Wallace Junior High School § § § § § Parker High School (2 responses) Tribal Headquarters La Paz County offices Pop Harvey Park (2 responses) DES and Food Bank (2 responses) § § § § Arizona Western College Poston Area and south of Poston La Pera Elementary School (3 responses) Woody’s II Convenience Market 2.6.2 PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE 2 Public Open House 2 was held on February 13, 2014 at the BlueWater Resort and Casino in Parker, Arizona. Similarly to Open House 1, this open house was scheduled to coincide with a Community Awareness Night to boost attendance. Community members that attended the open house were able to review display boards explaining the study recommendations, to ask questions and to provide their feedback on transportation issues and needs in the community. A general comment form was also provided for members to complete at the open house. In total, 13 members of the community signed in at the open house. The following comments were returned via the comment form. · · · Marking and striping existing roads Maintenance and upkeep of paved and gravel roads Knowledge of upcoming jobs and contacts Verbal comments that were received by the Colorado River Indian Tribes Planner were: · · · · · · There was a concern about project prioritization. Roads need to be fixed first, before sidewalk improvements. The transit system should be equipped with a lift that can accommodate scooters. There needs to be coordination on transit with the Bonnie Baker service in Big River. The potholes on 14th Avenue need to be fixed There was a comment that at the Walmart driveway, the curb is the same color as the pavement, and it is hard to distinguish the driveway, especially at night. Construct sidewalks on 16th Street to the 1st Street subdivision. There is also a need for lighting in this area. 11 3. Recommended Projects Transportation projects have been developed to address the Colorado River Indian Tribes transportation needs. Projects are grouped by type of improvement and are discussed below. The projects are in the following categories: · · · · · · · · · Pedestrian facility Improvements Intersection Improvement Projects Safety Projects Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects Transit Projects Aviation Projects Bridge Improvement Projects Paving Dirt or Gravel Road Projects Other Transportation Projects 3.1 Mohave Road and 2nd Avenue Intersection 12 3.1 PEDESTRIAN FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS Pedestrian improvements are important to the improve livability of a community and connect neighborhoods with activity centers such as schools, employment and shopping destinations. Proposed pedestrian improvements are shown graphically in Figure 5 and in Table 1. The sidewalk projects assume five foot sidewalks on both sides of the street. The sidewalk projects are grouped into areas for programmimg purposes. A number of the roads recommended for sidewalk improvements are recommended to be added to the Tribal Transportation Inventory, particularly those that are located within the Parker Town limits. In order to address the need for additional pedestrian crossings in the Town of Parker, it is recommended that the CRIT work with the Town of Parker to evaluate the need for, and implement pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) crossings at key locations at Riverside Drive/ Eagle Avenue, River Drive/Chemuehuevi Avenue, and California Avenue/ 12th Street. Also known as a HAWK beacon (HighIntensity Activated crossWalK beacon), a pedestrian hybrid beacon is a traffic signal used to stop road traffic and allow pedestrians to cross safely. The purpose of a pedestrian hybrid beacon is to allow protected pedestrian crossings, stopping road traffic only as needed. Research has shown motorists' compliance with the pedestrian hybrid beacon is much higher than with traditional pedestrian crossings. A pedestrian hybrid beacon helps persons to cross busy streets Source: Rhode Island Department of Transportation 13 Figure 5 – Recommended Pedestrian Projects 14 Table 1 – Proposed Pedestrian Improvements Area 1 2 3 Street Name From To Project Length (miles) BIA Road Functional Classification* Existing Roadway or Site Conditions Proposed Improvement Total Cost ($)** Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road 187,000 Connects approx. 15 homes and 3 businesses to sidewalk system on Rio Vista Hwy (SR 95) Geronimo Ave 6th Street SR 95 0.29 Not classified Paved road Sidewalks Fiesta Ave 6th Street North end 0.07 Not classified Paved road Sidewalks Connects 2 homes on Fiesta to existing sidewalk network Eagle Ave 6th Street North end 0.07 Not classified Paved road Sidewalks Connects 3 homes on Eagle to existing sidewalk network 2nd Ave 0.4 miles east of 2nd Ave 0.4 2 Paved road Sidewalks Mohave Rd (Rte 1) 7th Street Chemehuevi East end 0.14 Not classified 15 Paved road Sidewalks 174,000 Tribal Headquarters 322,000 Connects approximately 20 homes to Western Park, SR 95, and other sidewalks Area Street Name 8th Street 9th Street unnamed road unnamed road Bronco Ave From Chemehuevi Chemehuevi 8th Street 7th Street 7th Street To East end East end 9th Street 8th Street SR 95 Project Length (miles) 0.14 0.11 0.07 0.07 0.21 BIA Road Functional Classification* Not classified Not classified Not classified Not classified Not classified 16 Existing Roadway or Site Conditions Paved road Paved road Paved road Paved road Paved road Proposed Improvement Total Cost ($)** Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road Sidewalks Connects approximately 20 homes to Western Park, SR 95, and other sidewalks Sidewalks Connects approximately 20 homes to Western Park, SR95, and other sidewalks Sidewalks Connects approximately 20 homes to Western Park, SR95, and other sidewalks Sidewalks Connects approximately 20 homes to Western Park, SR95, and other sidewalks Sidewalks Connects approximately homes to Western Park, SR95, and other sidewalk network Area Street Name 4 Riverside Drive (Rte95) 4A BlueWater Drive (Rte 105) From SR 95 /.1 mi east of Airport Drive SR 95 To BlueWater Drive BlueWater Park Project Length (miles) 0.48 0.71 BIA Road Functional Classification* 2 Existing Roadway or Site Conditions Paved road 5 Paved road Proposed Improvement Total Cost ($)** Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road 209,000 Extends existing sidewalk connection from commercial area (Wal-Mart/Moovalya Plaza) to cross street of BlueWater Drive.

These projects are summarized as follows: 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Safety focused education campaign Future CRIT Road Safety Assessment locations Improved crash reporting procedures Signing and striping projects Other safety projects 3.3.1 SAFETY FOCUSED EDUCATION CAMPAIGN A safety–focused educational campaign would incorporate safety into school curriculum at all levels of education. Elements of this project would be to develop age appropriate traffic safety education programs and then disseminate the materials and provide teacher training about the materials. Another focus area recommended is to try to procure funding for the successful Tribal Motor Vehicle Injury Prevention program, which is funded by the Center for Disease Control to the CRIT Police Department. This innovative program, which ends in September, 2014, includes focus on increasing adult seat belt use and reduction of adult Driving under the Influence (DUI) through a number of strategies, including events, media spots, videos and Public Service Announcements. 3.3.2 FUTURE ROAD SAFETY ASSESSMENT LOCATIONS It is also recommended that further evaluation of high crash locations be conducted. Road Safety Assessments (RSAs) may be considered at the following locations: · · · Mohave Road (MP 10-35) SR 95/ Moovalya Shopping Center California Avenue/Agency Road 3.3.3 CRASH REPORTING PROCEDURES The Colorado River Indian Tribes Police Department has undertaken an extensive process to convert crash records to match the data field and requirements of the ADOT crash reporting format. This effort is important to help identify crash patterns and should be continued in the future. 3.3.4 SIGNING AND STRIPING PROJECTS The proposed transportation plan includes a general project for signing and striping projects, because generally these improvements must be done on an as-needed basis. Key priorities are: Speed control - An issue that was raised during stakeholder interviews was the need for additional speed limit signing and speed control on Mohave Road. The Bureau of Indian Affairs Road Maintenance Manual states that the posted speed limit will be established after an engineering and traffic investigation has been made in accordance with established traffic engineering practices. It also states that the BIA shall install and replace signs in accordance with the current edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Although the MUTCD does not have guidelines for speed limit sign spacing, a January 2009 recommendation from the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Regulatory Warning Signs Technical Advisory Committee indicated the following minimum spacing of reminder signs: 27 · Rural roads 55 mph and higherapproximately every 10 miles · Rural roads 45 and 50 mphapproximately every 2 miles. Speed reminders such as solar speed signs can be used to remind drivers of their speed. Striping – A key priority is provision of upgraded striping on Mohave Road, which is the highest volume road on the reservation. Improvements would include centerline and edge striping, and potentially installation of raised pavement markers, as the road is the main thoroughfare through the community. Rumble strips on shoulders can also potentially improve safety by alerting drivers that they are crossing into the shoulder area. Solar Speed monitors can improve compliance with speed limits Replacement signing – Providing replacement signing is on-going process. Signing needs observed during the RSA field review were: · · · · · · · · Booth Road, 1st Avenue to .8 miles east of 1st Avenue- bent sign needs replacement 2nd Avenue, Mohave Road to Booth Road – bent “Reduced Speed Ahead” sign needs replacement. 11th Avenue, Mark Road to Peterson Avenue – stop sign needs replacement 15th Avenue, Agnes Wilson Road to Burns Road – chevrons have graffiti markings Patrick Road/16th Avenue - Need street name sign for 16th Avenue Marks Road/11th Avenue - Yield Sign needs to be replaced or removed Replacement of advance street name signs, which was noted on Mohave Road during the 2013 CRIT Road Safety Assessment. Improved signage at a number of culvert and canal crossings. 28 Safety-related signing – Examples of safety related signs are those that remind drivers to use their seatbelts, not to text while driving, and not to drink and drive. A sign inventory is a requirement for obtaining Highway Safety Improvement Program funds for signing projects, and would be valuable to determine specific sign replacement needs. 3.3.5 OTHER SAFETY PROJECTS Canal safety improvements There were a number of culvert and canal crossings that need improvements such as object markers, warning signs for narrow crossings, and in some cases, headwalls and possibly guardrails. The areas these canals or culverts are located are: · · · · · · · · · · Burns Road, 15th Avenue to 12th Avenue 7th Avenue, Agnes Wilson Road to Indian School Road 13th Avenue , Peterson Road to Hopi Road, and Patrick Road to Burns Road Agnes Wilson Road, Mohave Road to 7th Avenue Scott Road, Bridge 045 to Mohave Road McCabe Road, 23rd Avenue to Bridge H020 Peterson Road, Mohave Road to 9th Avenue 6th Avenue, Gould Road to Mohave Road 14th Avenue, Bridge 040 to Marks Road Mohave Road- entire length should be evaluated for potential guardrails at canal crossings Street lighting Street lighting needs were identified at the following locations during the RSA: · · · Mohave Road/Poston Road Mohave Road /2nd Avenue 1st Avenue from Mohave Road to the Hospital, along Mohave Road from 1st to 2nd Avenue, and from Mochen housing near Booth Road and 4th Avenue to the Tribal offices on 2nd Avenue Tribal safety laws Other safety projects include promoting the passage of two tribal laws: 1. A primary seat belt law - Primary seat belt laws allow law enforcement officers to ticket a driver or passenger for not wearing a seat belt, without any other traffic offense taking place. Other tribal nations, such as the Navajo Nation, have shown dramatic increases in seat belt usage and reduction in injuries and fatalities in motor vehicle crashes with such a law. 2. A law lowering the definition of Driving under the Influence (DUI) to blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 from the current BAC of 0.10. Blood alcohol content is the concentration of alcohol in blood. This change would make the laws regarding DUI on the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation consistent with laws for the State of Arizona. 29 3.4 PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE AND RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Road maintenance and reconstruction projects were a key focus of the development of the transportation plan. These projects provide road users with improved comfort, speed, and safety; and lower vehicle operating costs. Two types of recommended activities, preventive maintenance and reconstruction, will provide the Colorado River Indian Tribes with the framework and general guidelines to follow when making decisions regarding the maintenance of pavement infrastructure. Pavement maintenance and reconstruction project locations are shown in Figure 7. 3.4.1 RECOMMENDED RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Recommended reconstruction projects were based on the findings of a field review that assessed pavement conditions on approximately 132 miles of roads, and input from stakeholders and the general public. The reconstruction projects assume a full-depth removal of the existing pavement including base course, scarifying and recompacting the existing subgrade (if weak it may need to be stabilized with lime or other treatments), and construction of a typical section which is 6” of aggregate base course and 4” of asphalt pavement. The pavement reconstruction projects assume that the pavement will be widened to meet BIA standards. This assumes the following roadway and shoulder widths by BIA functional class: BIA Class Roadway Width (feet) Shoulder Width (feet) Class 4-Rural Major Collector 32 4 Class 5 – Rural Local Roads 28 2 The widening of Class 4 roads will also provide a shoulder that can be used as a bicycle lane. Class 4 functionally classified roads are 1st Avenue, Indian School Road, McCabe Road, Navajo Road, Peterson Road, and Scott Road. Reconstruction projects are summarized in Table 3. 3.4.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS Preventive maintenance activities that should be considered by the Colorado River Indian Tribes include, but are not limited to, crack sealing, patching, and surface treatments. Surface treatments, such as chip seals, are typically applied on an interval basis and each treatment results in an increase in life of the pavement section. Specific type of treatment would typically be determined at a time closer to application based on existing conditions. Recommendations for preventive maintenance projects are summarized in Table 3. Surface treatments such as chip seals are used primarily to slow the rate of deterioration and extend the life of the pavement. These treatments are most cost-effective when applied to a pavement section that is not significantly deteriorated and is mainly exhibiting climate-related distresses such as longitudinal cracking or weathering and raveling. 30 Figure 7 – Reconstruction and Preventive Maintenance Projects 31 Table 3 – Recommended Reconstruction Projects Existing Project BIA Road Total Roadway or Proposed Length Functional Project Cost Site Improvement (miles) Classification* ($)** Conditions Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road Street Name / BIA Route Number From To 11th Ave (Rte 15) Agnes Wilson Rd Indian School Rd 2.00 5 Paved road Reconstruction 1,182,000 Agricultural, residential 11th Ave (Rte 15) Mark Rd Peterson Ave 1.00 5 Paved road Reconstruction 591,000 Agricultural, residential 11th Ave (Rte15) Peterson Ave McCabe Rd 2.00 5 Paved road Reconstruction 1,183,000 Agricultural, residential 14th Ave (Rte 117) Bridge H040 Mark Rd 1.30 5 Paved road Reconstruction 769,000 Agricultural, residential 14th Ave (Rte 117) Nez Rd Bridge H040 0.80 5 Paved road Reconstruction 473,000 Agricultural, residential 1st Ave (Rte 3) Burns Rd Mohave Rd 3.00 4 Paved road Reconstruction 2,028,000 Agricultural, residential 6th Ave (Rte 99) Indian School Rd Burns Rd 1.00 5 Paved road Reconstruction 591,000 Agricultural, residential Eddy Rd (Rte 20) 7th Ave canal crossing 0.80 5 Paved road Reconstruction 473,000 Agricultural, residential Indian School Rd (Rte 14) 11th Ave Mohave Rd 0.50 4 Paved road Reconstruction 338,000 Residential, agricultural, and Head Start School 32 Existing Project BIA Road Total Roadway or Proposed Length Functional Project Cost Site Improvement (miles) Classification* ($)** Conditions Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road Street Name / BIA Route Number From To Indian School Rd (Rte 14) Mohave Rd 4th Ave 3.00 4 Paved road Reconstruction 2,028,000 Residential , agricultural, and Head Start School Mark Rd (Rte 36) 0.3 miles west of 10th Ave 10th Ave 0.30 5 Paved road Reconstruction 177,000 Agricultural, residential McCabe Rd (Rte 30) 23rd Ave Bridge H020 1.90 4 Paved road Reconstruction 1,284,000 Agricultural, residential Mohave Rd (Rte 1) South CRIT reservation boundary 2.8 miles north of south boundary 2.80 2 Paved road Reconstruction 2,128,000 Agricultural, residential Navajo Rd (Rte 38) 0.3 miles west of rd end east end of Navajo Rd 0.30 4 Paved road Reconstruction 203,000 Agricultural, residential Navajo Rd (Rte 38) 21st Ave Mohave Rd 2.20 4 Paved road Reconstruction 1,487,000 Agricultural, residential Navajo Rd (Rte 38) Bridge H039 0.3 miles west of road end 1.20 4 Paved road Reconstruction 811,000 Agricultural, residential Navajo Rd (Rte 38) Mohave Rd Bridge H039 1.00 4 Paved road Reconstruction 676,000 Agricultural, residential 33 Existing Project BIA Road Total Roadway or Proposed Length Functional Project Cost Site Improvement (miles) Classification* ($)** Conditions Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road Street Name / BIA Route Number From To Peterson Rd (Rte 34) Mohave Rd 9th Ave 2.90 4 Paved road Reconstruction 1,960,000 Agricultural, residential 1st Ave (Rte 3) Mohave Rd W.

Actual costs for projects could vary at the time of implementation; therefore, when appropriate a detailed analysis should be performed on a case-by-case basis to determine actual project costs. The planning estimates include estimates for materials, and labor for design and construction. The cost estimates do not include right-of-way costs. 38 3.5 TRANSIT PROJECTS The development of a transit system is an important need for the Colorado River Indian Tribe. The need for transit service was demonstrated based on the findings of two surveys, and analysis using the procedures in Transit Cooperative Research Program Report 161 – Methods for Forecasting Demand and Quantifying the Need for Rural Passenger Transportation: Final Workbook. Origins and destinations for the transit system have been identified through public input, surveys, and a review of land uses. Work is currently underway under a separate Federal Transit Administration contract to develop a detailed implementation plan for the transit system, with recommended routes and anticipated operating costs and revenues. 3.6 AVIATION PROJECTS Aviation projects were developed as part of the Avi Suquilla Airport Master Plan Update completed in 2013. The Airport Capital Improvement Plan from the Airport Master Plan Update is shown in Table 5. Maps of the proposed improvements are shown in Appendix C. Projects related to the road system serving the airport include: · · · · · Construct an all-weather perimeter road around the Airport. Provide signage upgrades and improve aircraft storage area. Drainage improvements and fire water line on Airport Road, including re-paving Parking lot construction as part of the terminal, ARFF Building, hangar and parking lot Construction project Paving improvements to runways, apron areas, perimeter road over time As the perimeter road is developed, consideration should be given to adding it to the Tribal Transportation Inventory. It should be noted that the criteria for the short term, medium term and long term projects in the Airport Master Plan Update are based on activity milestones for each planning horizon; those are certain levels of based aircraft and annual operations. For this reason, these projects are prioritized separately from other transportation projects. Other recommended projects are funding for a van to serve airport passengers, or coordination with a future transit system, perhaps on a demand-responsive basis. 39 Table 5 – Avi Suquilla Airport Capital Improvement Plan Time Frame Short Term Intermediate Term Long Term Project Description Estimated Total Cost ($)* Airfield Pavement Preservation 800,000 Runway 1-19 Easterly Erosion Control 562,000 Drainage Improvements/Fire Water Line 2,150,000 Construct parallel Taxiway C 2,100,000 Runway 1-19 Westerly Erosion Control 562,000 Eastern Apron Expansion – Phase 1 2,471,000 Signage Upgrades and Develop Aircraft Storage Area 54,000 Runway 1-19, Taxiway A and Taxiway B Crack seal 411,000 GA Apron Pavement Preservation 518,000 Construct Perimeter Road 1,725,000 Eastern Apron Expansion – Phase 2 1,364,000 Runway 1-19 Overlay 1,764,000 Transient Apron Overlay 520,000 Northern Apron Expansion- Phase 1 1,821,000 Taxiway C Crack Seal 49,000 Taxiways A and B Overlay 1,676,000 Northern Apron Expansion- Phase 2 900,000 Terminal, ARFF Building, Hangar and Parking Lot Construction 3,290,000 Crack Seal – Runway 1-19, Taxiways A and B, Apron and Perimeter Road 377,000 Seal Coat-Taxiway C and North Apron Expansion 224,000 Southern Apron Expansion- Phase 1 1,500,000 Southern Apron Expansion- Phase 2 1,714,000 Seal Coat - Runway 1-19, Taxiways A and B, Apron and Perimeter Road 1,351,000 Crack Seal - Taxiway C and North Apron Expansion 56,000 Acquire Land for Southern Runway Extension 875,000 40 Time Frame Project Description Estimated Total Cost ($)* Runway 1-19 Southern Extension 1,734,000 Crack Seal- Runway 1-19, Taxiways A and B, Apron and Perimeter Road 377,000 Seal Coat - Taxiway C and North Apron Expansion 224,000 Acquire Land for Northern Runway Extension 625,000 Runway 1-19 Northern Extension 1,848,000 Seal Coat - Runway 1-19, Taxiways A and B, Apron and Perimeter Road 1,351,000 Crack Seal- Taxiway C and North Apron Expansion 56,000 Acquire land east of existing property line for future development 2,200,000 Source: Avi Suquilla Airport Master Plan Update, June 2013 * Costs were excerpted from Ava Suquilla Airport Master Plan Update, June 2013 3.7 BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Bridge projects were developed based on input from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Western Regional Office (WRO). Information on project descriptions, project length, and project costs were obtained from the Indian Reservation Road Program Bridge Management System Structural Inventory and Appraisal Sheets. Bridges are inspected every two years and are assigned a numerical sufficiency rating. The sufficiency rating (SR) is a numerical rating of a bridge based on its structural adequacy and safety, essentiality for public use, and its serviceability and functional obsolesce for the width, approach roadway, and traffic capacity. It is a rating tool developed by the FHWA for prioritizing bridges for funding. The SR of a bridge varies from 0 (very poor) to 100 (very good). Bridges with an SR of 80 or less are eligible for rehabilitation, and bridges with an SR less than 50 are eligible for replacement or rehabilitation. Twelve bridges have sufficiency ratings below 80, indicating the need to rehabilitate or replace them. Proposed bridge projects are shown graphically on Figure 8, and are summarized in Table 6. All of these projects will improve safety. A key bridge improvement project is replacement of the bridge on Mohave Road (Rte 1) at Tyson Wash. Tyson Wash is one of the larger washes that enter the Colorado River. For this reason, and because it crosses Mohave Road, the major roadway through the CRIT Reservation, this bridge improvement is a priority. Based on correspondence with the BIA, Plans, Specification and Estimates (PS&E) documents have been prepared and submitted to FHWA for the replacement of Mojave Road Bridge H008 over Tyson Wash, using BIA - Tribal Bridge Program (TBP) funds at an estimated cost of $9,465,000. Construction funding has not yet been approved / received for this bridge replacement project due to the reduction of BIA bridge replacement funding from $13 million under Safety-LU, to $9 million under MAP-21. BIA is working with FHWA to have TBP funding set aside for this project over the next three years, so construction can begin in FY 2016. This project is shown as a short range project in this plan. 41 Figure 8 – Proposed Bridge Projects 42 Table 6 – Proposed Bridge Replacement or Rehabilitation Projects Location Bridge Number Project Length (miles) BIA Road Functional Classification* Existing Roadway or Site Conditions – Bridge Sufficiency Rating Proposed Improvement Total Cost ($)*** Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road Mohave Road (Rte 1) at Tyson Wash H008 0.093 2 Sufficiency rating - 73.3 Bridge Replacement 9,465,000** serves multiple land uses Mohave Road (Rte 1) H004 0.014 2 Sufficiency rating - 46.5 Bridge Replacement 120,000 serves multiple land uses 17th Avenue (Rte 21) H026 0.014 4 Sufficiency rating - 68.0 Bridge Rehabilitation 79,000 Agricultural McCabe Road (Rte 30) H021 0.017 4 Sufficiency rating - 56.8 Bridge Rehabilitation 74,000 Agricultural Peterson Road (Rte 34) H024 0.014 4 Sufficiency rating - 25.9 Bridge Rehabilitation 82,000 Agricultural Navajo Road (Rte 38) H027 0.011 4 Sufficiency rating - 60.0 Bridge Rehabilitation 56,000 Agricultural Tsosie Road (Rte 44) H030 0.017 4 Sufficiency rating - 47.8 Bridge Replacement 89,000 Agricultural Beeson Road (Rte 50) H032 0.015 5 Sufficiency rating - 49.8 Bridge Rehabilitation 40,000 Agricultural Welsh Road (Rte 56) H033 0.014 5 Sufficiency rating – 54.0 Bridge Rehabilitation 167,000 Agricultural Street Name / BIA Route Number 43 Location Bridge Number Project Length (miles) BIA Road Functional Classification* Existing Roadway or Site Conditions – Bridge Sufficiency Rating Proposed Improvement Total Cost ($)*** Existing and/or Proposed Development Served by Road Welsh Road (Rte 56) H034 0.014 5 Sufficiency rating – 59.5 Bridge Rehabilitation 115,000 Agricultural Weir Road (Rte 60) H035 0.011 5 Sufficiency rating – 58.5 Bridge Rehabilitation 98,000 Agricultural Weir Road (Rte 60) H036 0.019 5 Sufficiency rating – 47.0 Bridge Replacement 600,000 Agricultural Street Name / BIA Route Number * Functional Class: 2= Rural minor arterial road; 4=Rural major collector road; 5=Rural local road **Per 10/9/13 e-mail from Bob Maxwell, BIA-WRO Regional Roads Planner, they are working with FHWA to have Tribal Bridge Program funds set aside for this project over the next three years, so construction can begin in FY 2016 ***Project costs were developed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. 44 3.8 PAVING DIRT OR GRAVEL ROAD PROJECTS The provision of a paved road surface results in a number of benefits, including reduced levels of dust, reduced vehicle maintenance costs, and improved safety. Figure 9 summarizes recommended paving projects on dirt or gravel roads. The cost estimates for these projects assume that the roads will be paved with asphalt to cover a 24 foot width, which is the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) minimum subdivision street width for an uncurbed local street and accommodates one travel lane in each direction. The project locations are summarized in Table 7. Some of these roads are not currently on the Tribal Transportation Inventory and it is recommended that they be added to the Tribal Transportation Inventory and functionally classified. Additions to the Tribal Transportation Inventory are discussed in Chapter 6. BIA route numbers are noted for roads that are part of the Tribal Transportation Inventory.

Project Prioritization and Plan of Improvements The transportation improvement projects that were identified in Chapter 3 will address critical needs through 2030 and beyond. These projects were further prioritized into the following categories: Short-range projects (FY 2018-2022) – In general, short-range projects are those needed to address current needs and deficiencies, for which funding can reasonably be identified. Short range projects also include currently programmed projects in the 2012 Tribal Transportation Improvement Plan (TTIP). Mid-range projects (FY 2023-2027) – These are higher cost projects that have higher priorities due to safety or connectivity. Mid-range projects also include projects that can be linked to projects currently programmed or planned in the mid-range time frame. Long-range projects (2028-2038 and beyond) – These are higher cost projects that may need additional lead time to obtain funding, or can be linked to long-range projects currently planned. Project phasing was accomplished through a process summarized as follows: · · · · · Develop project cost estimates for all projects Estimate short, mid-, and long term funding Identify priority project categories: o Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects o Intersection projects o Safety projects o Bridge projects Develop project priority criteria for each category of project Rank projects within each category The projects in each category were assigned to short, mid- or long range programs. The prioritization was reviewed at a workshop with CRIT and ADOT staff in November 2013. Aviation projects are summarized separately on pages 40 and 41, and have implementation periods that are based on meeting activity milestones rather than specific years. 4.1 PROJECT PRIORITIZATION – SHORT-RANGE PROJECTS Short range transportation projects are those identified for implementation in the time frame 20182022. It would succeed the current Tribal Transportation Improvement Program, which runs from 20132017. Should additional funding be available in the current Tribal Transportation Improvement Plan, some of these projects could potentially be implemented sooner. It should be noted that the Bridge Replacement project on Mohave Road at Tyson Wash (Bridge H008) is shown in the short range program, although funds may become available to construct this bridge sooner. 51 The total estimated cost of the short range program$16.625M, which is divided into the following project categories: Project Type Cost ($) Resurfacing projects Preventive maintenance projects Bridge replacement or rehabilitation projects Intersection Projects Paving Dirt and Gravel road projects Pedestrian projects Other Projects Total 4,241,000 1,323,000 9,547,000 274,000 454,000 436,000 350,000 16,625,000 Funding assumptions for the short range program are as follows: Funding Source BIA Construction funds (through Tribal Transportation Program Formula) BIA Bridge Program Tribal Transportation Safety Program Highway Safety Improvement Program Other sources of funds (Surface Transportation Program, Tribal funds, other non-tribal sources) Total Estimated funding for 5-year period ($) 5,200,000 9,465,000 150,000 1,000,000 810,000 16,625,000 Funding program sources are described in Chapter 5.

Funding Sources for Transportation Projects This chapter describes funding resources that are potentially available for the projects identified in the previous chapters. Financing a transportation program requires utilization of a variety of funding sources and strategies. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief description of some of the major available funding sources and financing options and to identify principal contacts for additional information regarding the funding sources and requirements. In July, 2012, P.L. 112-141, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) was signed into law. The Tribal Transportation Program under MAP-21 provides $450 million annually for projects that improve access to and within Tribal lands. This program generally continues the previous Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) Program, while adding new set asides for tribal bridge projects (in lieu of the existing Indian Reservation Road Bridge program) and tribal safety projects. The Program was established to provide for construction of public roads and bridges under Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) administration. The purpose of the program is to provide safe and adequate transportation facilities including public road access to and within Indian reservations, Indian trust land, or Native American communities. The Tribal Transportation Roads Inventory by definition includes BIA, state, Colorado River Indian Tribes, and other local government public roads located within or providing access to an Indian reservation. The Tribal Transportation Program continues to provide set asides for program management and oversight and tribal transportation planning. A new statutory formula for distributing funds among tribes, based on tribal population, road mileage, and average funding under SAFETEA-LU, plus an equity provision, is to be phased in over a 4 year period. MAP-21 also authorizes the Tribal High Priority Projects Program, a discretionary program modeled on an earlier program that was funded by set aside from the Indian Reservation Roads Program. MAP-21 provides $30 million per year from the General Fund (subject to appropriation) for this new program. The funding sources are described for the following types of projects: § § § § § Roadway (Table 11) Safety (Table 12) Bicycle, Pedestrian and Equestrian (Table 13) Transit (Table 14) Aviation (Table 15) 71 Table 11 – Road Project Funding Sources Program Administering Agency Tribal Transportation Program BIA-DOT Western Regional Office Tribal High Priority Projects Program BIA-DOT Western Regional Office Uses of Funds The Tribal Transportation Program provides $450 million annually for projects that improve access to and within Tribal lands. This program generally continues the existing Indian Reservation Roads program, while adding new set asides for tribal bridge projects (in lieu of the existing Indian Reservation Road Bridge program) and tribal safety projects. It continues to provide set asides for program management and oversight and tribal transportation planning. A new statutory formula for distributing funds among tribes, based on tribal population, road mileage, and average funding under SAFETEA-LU, plus an equity provision, is to be phased in over a 4 year period. This program is for Tribes that receive insufficient funding to carry out their highest priority project.

An RSA was requested to improve safety and reduce crashes, and to identify safety projects to include in the new Long Range Transportation Plan. N Mohave Rd Figure 1: Study Area RSA Team The independent, multi-disciplinary RSA team was led by Mike Blankenship, the Arizona RSA Program Manager. The RSA team included: • Greg Fisher, CRIT Planning • Hannah Harper, CRIT Police Department • Don Sneed, ADOT Multimodal Planning • Tomi St. Mars, RN, MSN, CEN, FAEN, AZ Dept. of Health Services, Injury Prevention • Richard Weeks, P.E., PTOE, ADOT Traffic Safety Section CRIT Road Safety Assessment 1 RSA Process A Road Safety Assessment is a formal examination of user safety of a roadway by an independent, multi-disciplinary team which includes experienced and knowledgeable members. RSAs have been shown to help promote safety by: identifying a range of safety issues; promoting awareness of safer transportation planning, design, construction, and maintenance practices; integrating multimodal interests; and, more directly considering the effect of human factors, enforcement and education activities, and emergency responder practices. The RSA team conducted this assessment to the best of its abilities within the time allotted. The initial recommendations are based upon background information provided during the Start-up and Preliminary Findings Meetings, an evaluation of recent crash data, and both day and night field reviews, as discussed in the following paragraphs. This information helped the RSA team identify potential opportunities to improve the safety performance of roads within the study limits. This information was initially presented at the Preliminary Findings Meeting. While every attempt has been made to identify potential safety issues, the safety performance of the roadway remains the responsibility of the roadway owner and roadway users. The RSA team is available to provide additional clarification as the CRIT and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) review and respond to this report and pursue countermeasures. Start-Up Meeting The assessment team met with CRIT and BIA staff to discuss background information on February 27, 2013 at the Parker Indian Health Center. In addition to the RSA team members, participants included Sarah Snyder, IHS, Edward Hooper, BIA Colorado River Agency, Doris Burns, CRIT Health Services, and Ruben Carmona, CRIT Head Start. During the Start-up meeting background information was presented by the owners and the following topics were discussed: • Canals o Headwalls o Road departure crashes into canal o Need participation from BIA Irrigation Branch • Roadway lighting • Pedestrian activity o Between Tribal offices and Town of Parker o Between subdivisions and Tribal offices, Town • Saturation patrols and checkpoints are conducted • Mock crash staged at high school every other year • Coordination of multiple law enforcement agencies (CRIT, BIA, La Paz County, Town, DPS, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Rangers, Fish and Game) • Numerous school bus stops on Mohave Road Field Reviews Daytime field visits were conducted on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, and Thursday, February 28. A nighttime field visit was also conducted on Wednesday, February 28. The specific times of the site visits can be found on the RSA Agenda in the Appendix. The CRIT Road Safety Assessment 2 weather was warm and dry. Site reviews consisted of driving and walking the roads and observing road users. The RSA team noted several existing roadway features that appear to enhance safety in the study area, including: • Good roadside recovery area • Signing (intersection ahead, street name, stop ahead, chevrons) • Raised pavement markers (RPMs) • Object markers at headwalls • Shoulders • Transverse rumble strips • Turn lanes • Some breakaway sign posts • Guardrail with breakaway terminals • Flashing beacons • Milepost markers • Mailboxes set back from edge of road • Community Safety Advisory Board • CDC Motor Vehicle Injury Grant • IHS Tribal Injury Prevention Grant • School traffic safety events • Helicopter transport at both hospitals • CRIT Fire Department: o 24/7 coverage o Cover non-Tribal areas o 2-man stations o Automated external defibrillator (AED) o Community outreach/education Some of these examples are highlighted in Figure 2. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 3 Figure 2: Examples of Features that Appear to Enhance Safety in the Study Area Preliminary Findings Meeting The RSA team presented the preliminary findings to CRIT and BIA personnel on Friday, March 1, 2013 at the Parker Indian Health Center.

Observations and potential opportunities for improvements were discussed during this meeting. Physical Roadway Characteristics Mohave Road, Burns Road, 4th Avenue, and 2nd Avenue are 2-lane roads. Traffic volumes were not available for these roads. Speed limits are as follows: • Mohave Road: 55 mph (35 mph at Poston Road, 2nd Avenue, and 1st Avenue, 45 mph north of 1st Avenue) • Burns Road: 45 mph • 4th Avenue: 45 mph (35 mph at Booth Road) • 2nd Avenue: 45 mph (35 mph at Agency Road) Evaluation of Crash Data For the crash data analysis, the most recent thirteen years of crash data (2000 through 2012) was collected from the ADOT Information Technology Group’s Safety Data Mart, which is ADOT’s crash database. Following is a summary of the crashes that occurred during this time period. The following crash data is for: • Mohave Road (69 crashes, 13 fatal crashes) • Burns Road: 1st Avenue to 4th Avenue, 12th Avenue to 14th Avenue (4 crashes, 1 fatal) • 4th Avenue at: Indian School Road, Booth Road (2 crashes) • Agency Road at 2nd Avenue (1 crash) 76 crashes Severity: • 14 fatal crashes • 5 incapacitating injury • 7 non-incapacitating injury • 10 possible injury • 40 property damage only Crash Type: • 14 rollover (18%) • 14 rear-end (18%) • 13 fixed object (17%) • 9 angle (12%) • 6 sideswipe same direction (8%) • 4 other non-collision (5%) • 3 sideswipe opposite direction (4%) • 3 head-on (4%) • 2 left-turn (3%) • 1 pedestrian (1%) • 1 bicyclist (1%) • 6 other (8%) CRIT Road Safety Assessment 5 Light Conditions: • 55% daylight • 37% dark • 8% dawn/dusk Fatal Crash Type (14 fatal crashes, 20 fatalities): • 5 overturn • 3 angle • 1 head-on • 1 sideswipe opposite direction • 1 rear-end • 1 pedestrian • 1 immersion • 1 other fixed object Fatal Crash Locations by Milepost: • MP 6 • MP 20.3 • MP 23 • MP 23.9 • MP 24 • MP 27 • MP 29 • MP 36.7 • MP 37 • MP 38 (2) • MP 38.3 • MP 38.6 • Burns Road at 14th Ave Crashes by Year: 2000: 15 crashes 2001: 14 crashes 2002: 14 crashes 2003: 12 crashes, 1 fatal 2004: 4 crashes, 1 fatal 2005: 1 crash 2006: 3 crashes, 3 fatals 2007: 3 crashes, 2 fatals 2008: 2 crashes, 2 fatals 2009: 3 crashes, 2 fatals 2010: 0 crashes 2011: 5 crashes, 3 fatals 2012: 0 crashes CRIT Road Safety Assessment 6 Data from “Building a Foundation for Motor Vehicle Crash Injury Reduction on the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation” IHS report indicates that alcohol is involved in: • 24% of all crashes, compared to statewide average of 5% • 39% of injury crashes, compared to statewide average of 8% • 63% of fatal crashes, compared to statewide average of 33% The report also estimated seatbelt usage at 56%, compared to the statewide average of 83%. Site Review Observations and Initial Recommendations Education, Enforcement, and Emergency Medical Services Traffic safety issues cannot be solved with engineering solutions alone, which is why the RSA team addresses the “4 Es” of safety: engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical services. This multidisciplinary approach is beneficial and can lead to leveraging of resources in these resource challenged times. Preventability is determined by whether something could have been done (by an individual such as the caretaker or supervisor, or by the community as a whole) that would have prevented the death or injury. Preventing injuries and death is not always achievable and there are many challenges to implementing successful prevention interventions. The greatest challenge is to change behavior of individuals, followed by identification of funding streams for programs, limited people resources, apathy from individuals/community and the belief that bad things will happen to others but not to “me.” On Going Prevention Efforts: The Colorado River Indian Tribes have strong concern for the crashes that occur in the community as illustrated by the request to have this RSA. Efforts have occurred to ensure that homes in the community are numbered in order for public safety to locate and respond in the event of an emergency. The tribe has a 24/7 staffed fire department that provides first response for both tribal and non-tribal emergencies. The tribal police department has begun to use the state traffic crash report form which will allow uniformity with data collection. La Paz Regional Hospital is a Level IV trauma center and the community of Parker has two air ambulance companies (Native Air and Care Flight); ground emergency medical services are provided by a private ambulance service (American Medical Response). American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are at increased risk of motor-vehicle related injury and death with rates 1.5 to 3 times higher than rates for other Americans. To address this disparity, CRIT has received funding from the CDC’s Injury Center to tailor, implement, and evaluate evidence-based interventions to reduce motor vehicle-related injury and death in their communities. Additionally, CRIT has an Indian Health Service Tribal Injury Prevention Cooperative Agreement Program (TIPCAP) that provides multi-year funding to hire a full-time Injury Prevention Coordinator and to develop programs based on effective strategies or best practices in injury prevention. Both of these programs are demonstrating the value of having paid staff to address traffic safety and community injury prevention issues. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 7 Recommendations: Tribal employees should be required to use seatbelts when in a tribal vehicle. The Tribe should enact a primary seat belt law and consider stronger child passenger safety laws. Even though the State of Arizona does not have a primary seat belt law, several tribes in Arizona do have primary seat belt laws, which is very commendable. The Navajo Nation amended their child passenger safety law to include booster seats; this legislation could provide example language for the Colorado River Indian Tribes if they decide to pursue this recommendation. At the minimum, CRIT should align their child passenger safety ordinance to mirror Arizona’s statute ARS 28-907. It was noted during the interview with fire and EMS personnel that the town of Parker does not have 24/7 fire department coverage but CRIT does. CRIT should advocate to the town of Parker that adding this level of service is a necessary public safety benefit. At the minimum, CRIT should conduct a cost benefit analysis to determine what the costs of fire department coverage are to the tribe. The community is served by two air ambulances, one of which is the Indian Health Service’s contracted provider, Native Air. It is strongly recommended to use only the contracted provider and if a situation arises that the non-contracted air ambulance (Care Flight) is used that the providers document why this decision was made. The documentation will allow Indian Health Service to assess the provided contracted services. As many as eight law enforcement agencies interact with the community. It is recommended that these agencies meet on a quarterly basis to discuss mutual issues. From an injury prevention outreach perspective, it is recommended the TIPCAP and CDC funded motor vehicle projects consider addressing adolescent traffic safety using the Battle of the Belt and continue with the child passenger safety efforts. Pavement Markings Centerline and edgeline markings are faded or non-existent on many of the roads in the study area (Figures 3 and 4), including: • Mohave Road between mileposts 0 and 9 • Burns Road • Booth Road • 4th Avenue • Indian School Road There are also missing raised pavement markers (RPMs) on some segments of road. Lack of pavement markings can contribute to lane departure crashes. Figure 5 shows nighttime views of sections of Burns Road with and without pavement markings and RPMs. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 8 Figure 3: No Pavement Markings on Mohave Road near Milepost 1 Figure 4: No Pavement Markings on Burns Road Figure 5: Sections of Burns Road With and Without Pavement Markings and RPMs Lane Departure Crashes Pavement marking recommendations include: • Install 6-inch wide centerline and edgeline markings with centerline RPMs on the southern section of Mohave Road (milepost 0 to 9), Burns Road, Booth Road, 4th Avenue, and Indian School Road • If centerline and edgeline markings can’t be installed, consider installing centerline RPMs at canal crossings and through curves Signing Most advance street name signs on Mohave Road are faded and difficult to read (Figure 6). It is recommended that the advance street name signs be upgraded to Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 9 Figure 6: Advance Street Name Sign for Agnes Wilson Road Stop Lines Most stop lines are faded and located too far back from the intersection, limiting sight distance for motorists on the side road. For example, the stop line for the Tsosie Road westbound approach to Mohave Road is located 42 feet from the intersection; combined with an embankment, this creates a sight obstruction for motorists entering the intersection from the stop line (Figure 7). It is recommended that the stop lines be refreshed and relocated closer to the intersection (the MUTCD allows stop lines to be located within 4 feet of the intersecting through lane). Figure 7: Stop Line Location and Driver’s View from the Stop Line on Westbound Tsosie Road at Mohave Road Pedestrians and Bicyclists There are very few accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists: no trails, sidewalks, or bike lanes. Figure 8 shows a bicyclist on 2nd Avenue riding toward Agency Road. Pedestrian and bicyclist recommendations include: CRIT Road Safety Assessment 10 • • Construct sidewalks/trails and install lighting along 1st Avenue from Mohave Road to Hospital, along Mohave Road from 1st to 2nd Avenues, and from the Mochen housing near Booth Road and 4th Avenue to the tribal offices on 2nd Avenue Coordinate with BIA Irrigation Branch to provide walking and biking facilities along the canals Figure 8: Bicyclist on 2nd Avenue Burns Road From 1st to 4th Avenue Other than the bridge barrier and railing, there is nothing to keep vehicles that run off the road while approaching the canal crossing from plunging into the canal (Figure 9). The drainage ditch on the south side of Burns Road just east of 4th Avenue is in the recovery area and near an unpaved travel area (Figure 10). Figure 9: Burns Road Canal Crossing East of 4th Avenue Figure 10: Drainage Ditch Just East of 4th Avenue Recommendations for the segment of Burns Road between 1st and 4th Avenues include: CRIT Road Safety Assessment 11 • • Install barrier extending from the bridge to along the side of the canal approximately 30 feet; if this can’t be done, install object markers along the side of the canal Install delineators to delineate the drainage ditch just east of 4th Avenue Burns Road From 12th to 14th Avenue As with the canal crossing east of 4th Avenue, there is nothing to keep vehicles that run off the road while approaching the canal crossings east of 13th and 14th Avenues from plunging into the canal (Figure 11). There are inadequate post connections at the 12th Avenue bridge guardrail: bolts are loose and pulling away from the concrete (Figure 12). The object markers along the north side of the headwall east of 13th Avenue are in the wrong location (Figure 13); according to the MUTCD, the edge of the object marker that is closest to the road user shall be installed in line with the closest edge of the obstruction. The westbound direction of Burns Road has a Narrow Bridge sign for the 12th Avenue bridge, but there is no sign for the eastbound direction (Figure 14). Recommendations for the segment of Burns Road between 12th and 14th Avenues include: • At the canal crossings east of 13th and 14th Avenues install curved W-Beam guardrail extending from the crossing to approximately 30 feet along the side of the canal; if this can’t be done, install object markers along the side of the canal • Repair post connections at the 12th Avenue bridge • Relocate object markers at the headwall east of 13th Avenue • Install Narrow Bridge sign for westbound direction at 12th Avenue bridge Figure 11: Burns Road Canal Crossings East of 14th and 13th Avenues CRIT Road Safety Assessment 12 Figure 12: Inadequate Connections of Guardrail Posts to Concrete at 12th Avenue Bridge Figure 13: Object Markers East of 13th Avenue Should Be Located at Edge of Headwall Closest to Road Figure 14: Narrow Bridge Near 12th Avenue CRIT Road Safety Assessment 13 2nd Avenue at Agency Road 2nd Avenue becomes Agency Road north of Mohave Road in a horizontal curve. The Tribal planner indicated that some motorists enter this curve at excessive speeds. The northbound approach to the curve has transverse rumble strips to encourage motorists to slow down before entering the curve. The southbound approach has a curve warning sign. Guardrail and chevrons have been installed along the curve; however, it appears that the guardrail and chevrons do not extend to the end of the curve on the south side (Figure 15). Guardrail end Figure 15: Curve at 2nd Avenue and Agency Road. Note the Guardrail and Chevrons Do Not Extend Through the End of the Curve. Recommendations for the horizontal curve at 2nd Avenue/Agency Road include: • Extend the guardrail through the curve at the bottom of the hill • Install additional chevron(s) through the curve at the bottom of the hill • Install transverse rumble strips at the top of the hill where guardrail starts • Install northbound curve warning sign with appropriate advisory speed plaque, and add advisory speed plaque to southbound curve sign • Add reflective tabs to top of guardrail posts 4th Avenue at Indian School Road This intersection is actually a sharp horizontal curve with stop signs. Field observations showed that many drivers do not stop at the unwarranted stop signs. Wooden barricades within the clear zone on the south side of the curve are not breakaway (Figure 16). Graffiti-covered large arrow signs and stop sign are difficult to see (Figure 17). The irrigation ditch is within 6 feet of the edge of the road along the inside of the turning radius (Figure 18). CRIT Road Safety Assessment 14 Figure 16: Wooden Barricades on Outside of Curve at 4th Avenue and Indian School Road Create a Fixed Object Hazard Figure 17: Graffiti on Stop Sign and Large Arrow Sign Diminish Visibility of the Signs 6’ Figure 18: Irrigation Ditch is 6 Feet from Edge of Road in Turning Radius Recommendations for 4th Avenue at Indian School Road include: • Remove stop signs, stop ahead signs, stop lines, and wooden barricades • Install turn warning signs with appropriate advisory speed plaques • Replace and relocate large arrow signs so they are in line with approaching traffic • Install centerline markings and RPMs and edgelines through curve • Install transverse rumble strips on the curve approaches Figure 19 provides a sketch of these recommendations. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 15 4th @ Indian School Figure 19: Sketch of Recommendations for 4th Avenue at Indian School Road 4th Avenue at Booth Road 4th Avenue becomes Booth Road in a horizontal curve. Transverse rumble strips have been installed on the curve approaches. There are multiple unpaved accesses within the curve that lead to the canal roads (Figure 20). A concrete barrier has been placed across one of the accesses apparently to prevent vehicles from entering; however, vehicles can maneuver around the barrier due to its location and gain access to the canal road. Chevrons on the east side do not extend to the end of the curve. Chevron spacing through the curve is approximately 200 feet. The MUTCD recommends chevron spacing of 120 feet for curve speeds of 35 to 45 mph. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 16 Figure 20: Unpaved Accesses Leading from 4th Avenue/Booth Road to Canal Roads Recommendations for 4th Avenue at Booth Road include: • Relocate access road barrier closer to 4th Avenue to prohibit entrance • Reduce chevron spacing to 120 feet and extend chevrons through the curve east along Booth Road • Limit number of accesses to the canal roads in this curve Mohave Road Southern Section (Mileposts 0 to 9): The pavement markings on the southern section of Mohave Road (mileposts 0 to 9) are faded or non-existent, and the pavement is aged (Figure 21). The Welcome sign at milepost 0 is faded and may not command driver attention (Figure 22). Gateway signing can have a traffic calming influence on motorists entering a community. Recommendations for the southern section of Mohave Road include: • Rehabilitate the pavement with a chip seal treatment • Install centerline markings and RPMs and edgeline markings to provide 11-foot lanes and 4 foot shoulders • Install centerline and edgeline rumble strips • Install a new “Welcome to CRIT” monument sign at milepost 0 CRIT Road Safety Assessment 17 Figure 21: Mohave Road Near Milepost 1. Note Pavement Condition and Lack of Markings Figure 22: Welcome Sign at Milepost 0 Mohave Road at Poston Road This location has turning movements and pedestrian activity due to Woody’s convenience store, post office, residences, and the Poston Memorial Monument that are in the immediate vicinity. The intersection has uncontrolled access on all 4 quadrants (Figure 23). Large trucks parking at Woody’s create a sight obstruction. Even though there are some street lights in the area, the intersection is not well-lit at night. Figure 23: Uncontrolled Access at the Mohave Road/Poston Road Intersection Recommendations for the Mohave Road/Poston Road intersection include: • Install pedestrian crossing warning signs on the Mohave Road approaches • Refresh pavement markings (turn lanes, edgelines, centerlines) • Construct sidewalks/curb and gutter along the intersection legs • Upgrade street lighting CRIT Road Safety Assessment 18 Figure 24 provides a sketch of these recommendations. Figure 24: Sketch of Recommendations for the Mohave Road/Poston Road Intersection Mohave Road at Patrick Road It is difficult to see the Patrick Road intersection from the northbound approach due to the canal crossing and guardrail (Figure 25). The guardrail on the east side of the crossing has been damaged (Figure 26). The curb in front of the guardrail reduces crashworthiness of the guardrail (Figure 27). There is no barrier to keep vehicles that run off the road from striking the concrete structure (Figure 28) or falling into the canal (Figure 29). Chevron spacing in the curve is approximately 250 feet (Figure 30); the MUTCD recommends 160 foot spacing for curve speeds of 50 to 60 mph.

Commercial activity at the intersection includes the truck scales, which creates large truck activity. The left-turn lanes on Mohave Road are approximately 180 feet long (including taper and storage length), which is too short for the current operating speeds. The turn lane pavement markings are faded (Figure 31). There are two closely spaced intersection warning signs (both directions between Agnes Wilson Road and Patrick Road) for Eddy Road and 9th Avenue (Figure 32). Recommendations for Mohave Road at Agnes Wilson Road include: • Reduce the speed limit to 35 mph • If the speed limit is not reduced, increase the length of the left-turn lanes • Refresh intersection pavement markings (Figure 33) • Replace intersection warning signs for Eddy Road and 9th Avenue with Double Side Road intersection warning signs (Figure 34) CRIT Road Safety Assessment 21 Figure 31: Aerial View of Mohave Road/Agnes Wilson Road Intersection Figure 32: Closely Spaced Intersection Warning Signs for Eddy Road and 9th Avenue Figure 33: Sketch of Recommendations for the Mohave Road/Poston Road Intersection CRIT Road Safety Assessment 22 Figure 34: Double Side Road Intersection Warning Sign Mohave Road at the Head Start School The speed limit at the Head Start School is 45 mph; however, a spot speed check conducted by the RSA team showed many vehicles traveling at speeds of 55 to 60 mph in front of the school. Even though there is a no passing zone at the school, the RSA team vehicle was passed (while traveling at the speed limit). There is no defined access at the school, leading to vehicles pulling on and off of Mohave Road at multiple locations (Figure 35). Vehicles pulling onto the shoulder at the mailboxes just north of the school (southwest corner of Mohave Road/Indian School Road intersection) lead to shoulder erosion and create a potential hazard for motorists along Mohave Road (Figure 36). Figure 35: Undefined Access at Head Start Figure 36: Mailboxes Near Head Start Recommendations for Mohave Road at the Head Start School include: • Create a reduced speed school zone and install solar powered “35 MPH When Flashing” signs • Implement photo enforcement for speeding • Relocate mailboxes to a cluster mailbox approximately 100 feet west of Mohave Road on the north side of Indian School Road • Designate a defined school entrance on Indian School Road, and close the undefined access along Mohave Road (with curb and gutter, vegetation, etc.) Figure 37 provides a sketch of the recommendations. CRIT Road Safety Assessment 23 Figure 37: Sketch of Recommendations for Mohave Road at Head Start School Mohave Road at 2nd Avenue Tribal offices are located at this intersection, and the rodeo grounds and a park are nearby, leading to numerous turning movements and pedestrian activity. The intersection is dark at night due to lack of street lighting. The speed limit decreases from 55 to 35 mph for the northbound approach and from 45 to 35 mph for the southbound approach; the Tribe noted that excessive speeds are an issue at this location. The flashing beacon is 14.5 feet above the road surface (Figure 38); the MUTCD states that the bottom of the signal housing shall be at least 15 feet above the pavement. This beacon has been struck by large vehicles in the past. Figure 38: Flashing Beacon at Mohave Road/2nd Avenue Intersection CRIT Road Safety Assessment 24 Recommendations for Mohave Road at 2nd Avenue include: • Install a 45 mph speed zone between the 55 and 35 mph speed zones for the northbound approach (install 45 mph sign south of Rodeo Road) • Install solar-powered speed feedback signs on the approaches to 2nd Avenue • Elevate the flashing beacon; remove beacon if it can’t be elevated • Install street lighting • Install pedestrian crossing warning signs on Mohave Road • Refresh intersection pavement markings • Install guide signing for Tribal Government Complex • Conduct pedestrian crossing evaluation to determine if a mid-block pedestrian crossing treatment is warranted Mohave Road at 1st Avenue There are no turn lanes on Mohave Road at 1st Avenue; the Tribe indicated that there are frequent turning movements at this intersection. The intersection is at the bottom of a downgrade and just beyond a horizontal curve for westbound traffic. The westbound Mohave Road speed limit changes from 45 to 35 mph on the downgrade and in the horizontal curve. There are redundant Speed Reduced Ahead and 35 mph Speed Zone signs for westbound Mohave Road east and west of 1st Avenue. Recommendations for Mohave Road at 1st Avenue include: • Conduct a turn lane analysis, and if needed, construct turn lanes on Mohave Road at 1st Avenue • Relocate the 35 mph Speed Zone sign and Speed Reduced Ahead sign for westbound Mohave Road to a location east of the horizontal curve and downgrade • Remove the Speed Reduced Ahead sign west of 1st Avenue Suggested Improvements/Countermeasures The following table summarizes the RSA team’s observations and potential opportunities to improve safety. These suggested improvements/countermeasures are presented as options for consideration; the road owner may also identify other effective alternative improvements and countermeasures. While every attempt has been made to identify potential safety issues and provide countermeasure options, the safety performance of the roadway remains the responsibility of the roadway owner and roadway users. Next Steps In order to complete this RSA, the RSA Team requests that the road owners prepare a written response that addresses the potential safety issues and countermeasures for consideration highlighted in the following table. This response can be sent to the RSA Program Manager and should identify how each of the safety issues will be addressed or give the basis for why they won’t be addressed. The RSA Program Manager can provide an example response letter and the following table in a Word document to assist in the response. Send the response letter to: CRIT Road Safety Assessment 25 Mike Blankenship Arizona RSA Program 1615 W.

The curb in front of the guardrail reduces crashworthiness of the guardrail. • There is no barrier to keep vehicles that run off the road from striking the concrete structure or falling into the canal • Chevron spacing in the curve is approximately 250 feet; the MUTCD recommends 160 foot spacing for curve speeds of 50 to 60 mph. • The team observed higher speeds (55 mph speed limit), higher volumes, and more numerous turning movements at this intersection than at other intersections on Mohave Road • Commercial activity at the intersection includes the truck scales, which creates a high amount of large truck activity • The left-turn lanes on Mohave Road are approximately 180 feet long (including taper and storage length), which is too short for the current operating speeds CRIT Road Safety Assessment COUNTERMEASURES FOR CONSIDERATION • Install pedestrian crossing warning signs on the Mohave Road approaches • Refresh pavement markings (turn lanes, edgelines, centerlines) • Construct sidewalks/curb and gutter along the intersection legs • Upgrade street lighting • Extend guardrail on northbound approach to prevent errant vehicles from striking the concrete structure • Extend guardrail on southbound approach and relocate Patrick Road approach approximately 150 feet north • Repair damaged guardrail and posts • Block out guardrail to position the guardrail face flush with the curb • Reduce chevron spacing to 160 feet by installing additional chevrons • Install reflective tabs on guardrail posts • Reduce the speed limit to 35 mph • If the speed limit is not reduced, increase the length of the left-turn lanes • Refresh intersection pavement markings • Replace intersection warning signs for Eddy Road and 9th Avenue with Double Side Road intersection warning signs 31 • The turn lane pavement markings are faded • There are two closely spaced intersection warning signs (both directions between Agnes Wilson Road and Patrick Road) for Eddy Road and 9th Avenue Mohave Road at the Head Start School Mohave Road at 2nd Avenue • The speed limit at the Head Start School is 45 mph; however, a spot speed check conducted by the RSA team showed many vehicles traveling at speeds of 55 to 60 mph in front of the school • Even though there is a no passing zone at the school, the RSA team vehicle was passed (while traveling at the speed limit) • There is no defined access at the school, leading to vehicles pulling on and off of Mohave Road at multiple locations • Vehicles pulling onto the shoulder at the mailboxes just north of the school (southwest corner of Mohave Road/Indian School Road intersection) lead to shoulder erosion and create a potential hazard for motorists along Mohave Road • Tribal offices are located at this intersection, and the rodeo grounds and a park are nearby, leading to numerous turning movements and pedestrian activity • The intersection is dark at night due to lack of street lighting • The speed limit decreases from 55 to 35 mph for the northbound approach and from 45 to 35 mph for the southbound approach; the Tribe noted that excessive speeds are an issue at this location • The flashing beacon is 14.5 feet above the road surface; the MUTCD states that the bottom of the signal housing shall be at least 15 feet above the pavement. This beacon has been struck by large vehicles in the past. CRIT Road Safety Assessment • Create a reduced speed school zone and install solar powered “35 MPH When Flashing” signs • Implement photo enforcement for speeding • Relocate mailboxes to a cluster mailbox approximately 100 feet west of Mohave Road on the north side of Indian School Road • Designate a defined school entrance on Indian School Road, and close the undefined access along Mohave Road (with curb and gutter, vegetation, etc.) • Install a 45 mph speed zone between the 55 and 35 mph speed zones for the northbound approach (install 45 mph sign south of Rodeo Road) • Install solar-powered speed feedback signs on the approaches to 2nd Avenue • Elevate the flashing beacon; remove beacon if it can’t be elevated • Install street lighting • Install pedestrian crossing warning signs on Mohave Road • Refresh intersection pavement markings • Install guide signing for Tribal Government Complex • Conduct pedestrian crossing evaluation to 32 determine if a mid-block pedestrian crossing treatment is warranted Mohave Road at 1st Avenue • There are no turn lanes on Mohave Road at 1st Avenue; the Tribe indicated that there are frequent turning movements at this intersection. The intersection is at the bottom of a downgrade and just beyond a horizontal curve for westbound traffic. • The westbound Mohave Road speed limit changes from 45 to 35 mph on the downgrade and in the horizontal curve • There are redundant Speed Reduced Ahead and 35 mph Speed Zone signs for westbound Mohave Road east and west of 1st Avenue CRIT Road Safety Assessment • Conduct a turn lane analysis, and if needed, construct turn lanes on Mohave Road at 1st Avenue • Relocate the 35 mph Speed Zone sign and Speed Reduced Ahead sign for westbound Mohave Road to a location east of the horizontal curve and downgrade • Remove the Speed Reduced Ahead sign west of 1st Avenue 33 Appendix ROAD SAFETY ASSESSMENT AGENDA COLORADO RIVER INDIAN TRIBES BIA WESTERN REGION, COLORADO RIVER AGENCY Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Road Safety Assessment Start-up Meeting All 1.
