Online, June 11, 2013 (Newswire.com) - ima, in collaboration with Fehr and Peers, won a Compass Blue Print Award on the WRCOG Highway 395 Temecula Non-Motorized Trails Transportation Study from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). ima prepared a Non-Motorized Transportation Plan for Highway 395 in the Temecula Valley with the objective to develop strategies promoting and implementing non-motorized transportation solutions. The study analyzes existing pedestrian, bicyclist and equestrian non-motorized transportation including shared use paths, on-road bikeways, pedestrian circulation and recommends improvements and supporting programs to create an overall non-motorized circulation linkage for Highway 395 linking Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar and Lake Elsinore. The implementation of this plan will improve the quality of life for local residents through improved walkability and bike ability.
